Impacting profitability: A hypothetical example
To illustrate the impact, let’s consider a hypothetical example. A professional services firm with $25 million CAD in annual revenue and 100 employees, billing at an average rate of $200 per hour. By increasing employee billable utilization from 73% to 74%, thanks to business intelligence tools like Sage Intacct Project Intelligence, the firm can realize an additional $420,000 in revenue and $210,000 in gross profit per year.
This example shows how even a small increase in utilization can translate into significant financial gains. By leveraging cloud-based business intelligence tools, firms can make data-driven decisions that directly improve profitability and operational efficiency.
