We need more
analytics.
Decrease cycle times!

department must openly
discuss their
challenges, needs and
environments.
Find a compromise
that communicates
goals, expectations
and timeframes.

experience to help in
analytics, reporting
and compliance.
Work with both Sales and Finance

that work overall.
