CloudStratex is a leading IT service and consulting organisation focused on helping businesses leverage technologies and practices that drive operational efficiency. The company experienced impressive levels of growth and knew it needed a tool that would support its rapidly expanding client base.

“When we started the company, I was determined we would put a system in place that would support us through at least our first few years,” said Tony Irving, Chief Operating Officer at CloudStratex. “We used Kantata at our previous company and we were familiar with it. We knew it was easily configurable and scalable — we didn’t even look at anyone else. We knew what we needed and we knew Kantata could do that.”

“If we didn’t have a single tool and had multiple sources of the truth, it would have been very difficult to grow at the rate that we have,” added Irving. “Today, we are able to focus on growth and not argue about the numbers — we trust the numbers in Kantata. As a start-up, the last thing we want to be doing is questioning data. We want to be spot-on. Kantata enables us to do that.”

Having this accessibility and flexibility allows everyone to keep their finger on the pulse and do their job effectively.”

“At Kantata our goal is to deliver solutions that enable our clients to do what they do best, even better,” said Sarah Edwards, Chief Product Officer, Kantata. “It is gratifying to see how empowering CloudStratex with a purpose-built solution that delivers the dynamic insights they need is enabling remarkable growth and client success.”
