s a Pathway to
nd Higher Profits
Looking back, Shackell says, she recalls making a really radical decision
that, at the time, seemed daunting, but with the benefit of hindsight,
was a natural extension of her commitment to sign with Invenias.
“We simply chose not to migrate our old data. That data had grown
so old because our consultants weren’t updating it with our previous
software, so 95 percent of it was just dead,” Shackell recalls. “So we
kept the data on the legacy system’s server for a year, but we learned
it wasn’t touched in about eight months, so we left it entirely.”
“We do no manual input now because everything is just done
automatically through the integration with Outlook, so there’s no
duplication of anything – a unique benefit with Invenias,” Shackell says.
The Highfield CEO says she and her team have a much better view
about the impact the right technology and user interface can have on
team performance and business results.
“Invenias directly links to profitability. It has certainly improved
the profitability of our firm. I hesitated for two and a half years. The
only regret I have is not making that decision years sooner than I did.
I’d have had two and a half years’ of higher profits.”
Shackell adds: “The biggest competitor Invenias has is apathy. It is the
inaction – that’s where I was – that will cost search firm owners if they
are not willing to try something new. Invenias pays for itself in spades.”
“We found
Invenias so
intuitive that
the learning
curve was
really fast…
we were
able to use it
within a day
because of
the intuitive
nature of the
system.”
