3. The Vision and the Cloud
All encompassing enterprise solutions are expensive and difficult to
implement and not suited for a nimble SMB (Small and medium sized
business)
Best of breed vs. All in One solutions reduce cost and provide
more flexibility. One tool can be easily replace with a better one
but keeping the other systems and processes in place
SaaS cloud based solutions can mostly work well with each other
through API integration. RTS ERP solution can be created
through the combination of right tools and an open CRM solution
RTS can focus on our core competencies and leverage process
automation and operational analytics by picking the right partners and
tools
What works best for RTS’ operational strategy??

Notes de l'éditeur
The RTS Operational system landscape is defined by picking the right efficiency enhancing tools and establishing a high degree of interoperability between these tools through existing or customized API integration and a common reporting and analytical framework in Gooddata. These tools in collaboration will bring us the necessary degree of automation and business intelligence to be able to scale up our business with only limited impact on our staff count and focus on delivering value rather than focusing on time consuming manual operational procedures.
Zendesk will be fully integrated into Bugzilla in order to facilitate a closed loop in the communication with the RTS development team. Zendesk is fully integrated into Gooddata and all information and statistics collected by Zendesk can be made available through Gooddata in intuitive dashboards that allow to drill down and into available metrics. Zendesk can be integrated into Clarizen to allow task assignment based on projects to be available in the same tool. This provides RTS service desks to use one tool for all tasks. Support issues that are being reported to Development will be sent to Bugzilla for further analysis and bug fixing. The interface between the tools will be bi-directional and updates from development on software issues will be flowing back into Zendesk. As developers accept bug flowing into Bugzilla from Zendesk the PM and PO will receive the information as well in PivotalTracker which allows an adjustment on the backlog prioritization in realtime and one can judge the impact on the velocity and deliverables out of this sprint. Salesforce is fully integrated into Zendesk. All ticket information and metrics related to customer support are available in Salesforce.com. Sales Manager will have a full overview over the support activates of their accounts and their satisfaction ratings, etc. Customer information will from Salesforce directly into Zendesk and will set up new customer (organizations) automatically including the associated users. Salesforce’s database will also be enriched with the end users that will be set up in Zedensk through support activities. Possible future integrations include:Bi-directional Clarizen integration for Zendesk. All tasks that are allocated to a resource in the Clarizen project plan will trigger a ticket creation in Zendesk and it will be assigned to the respective owner of this task and will include all the information available in the Clarizen task e.g. Due Date, notes, Documents, etc. As the task is being worked on in Zendesk, updates will flow back into Clarizen, informing the project manager on the completion progress on the assigned tasks. KnowledgeTree can be integrated in the knowledge forum/database which will be set up in Zendesk. Relevant product documentation will be available to customer and RTS employees and this documentation will be administrated in KnowledgeTree
With Clarizen's Salesforce.com Integration, Salesforce.com users can create and view the progress of both Projects and Issues directly from Salesforce.com while staying connected with the Clarizen Today window. From within Salesforce.com, users can access work items and view their status without needing to login to Clarizen. Clicking on the Projects opens it directly within Clarizen. Clarizen projects can be linked directly with Salesforce.com Accounts, Opportunities or Campaigns. By linking a Salesforce.com account with a Clarizen project, you can now keep your customers up to date with the status of their requests.A possible future integration for Clarizen is the Gooddata analytics tool kit which would allow us to drill into all project related data through the same tool that is being used by Zendesk, Pardot, Salesforce and PivotalTracker. This would be a customized integration which will require a budget and would be taken on by a thir
Pardot is fully integrated into Salesforce.com and Leads can be assigned to individual Sales managers after they have reached a specific score. All information that Pardot has collected will be available via Salesforce.comPardot is fully integrated into Gooddata and all information and statistics collected by Pardot can be made available through Gooddata in intuative dashboards that allow to drill down and into available metrics.
Gooddata is extensively used for marketing and sales. When it comes to measuring your marketing, we need access to metrics that are understandable and actionable. GoodMarketing arms marketing leads to create true performance measurements around our activities with actionable metrics and create the direct link to actual revenue and with that start the forecasting process before the actual sales pipeline.Gooddata also allows using data to create ongoing visibility into changes in our pipeline. GoodSales gives relevant insight into all sales activity as it occurs so one can make smart business decisions on the spot. Adapting to give the information we need on demand, GoodSales minimizes risks in our pipeline, highlights changes in opportunities and focuses your efforts in the right places so we are guaranteed to meet—and exceed—our sales goals.Gooddata integration into Zendesk will allow us to use the data collected and recognize and react to shifts in customer engagement and satisfaction in realtime. It will be possible to monitor all key performance indicators associated with our support process and provide this information to all managers with the ability to drill into indicators and down into more granular levels of time values, teams, product groups, etc. Gooddata integration with PivotalTracker give full transparency into the backlog management within our global development organization. Key metrics like velocity, visual representation of burndown charts, prioritization and as often needed reprioritization or backlogs will be reflected in intuitive dashboards that also contain historic trends and information and help to measure performance of our development teams. Clarizen is currenlty not integrate yet into Gooddata but evaluations for this effort are currently ongoing.
