CASE STUDY A Roofing Contractor's Move To Trimble Construction One Vista In The Cloud | 2 Several years ago, with the company growing at a rapid rate, JRC realized that it needed to update its finance and accounting technology. JRC's executive team knew they needed to invest in software to reduce administrative burdens, empower employees to be more productive, and sustain the company's profitability. JRC had no centralized solution in place to capture data from their many job sites across the country. It was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain accurate, accessible records while relying on manual processes such as emails and spreadsheets. If JRC wanted to sustain its growth trajectory – and continue its tradition of providing outstanding customer service – it had to modernize its technology. The company knew it wanted an integrated software solution such as Viewpoint Vista, but like many mid-sized companies, it didn't have dedicated IT resources to set up and maintain an on-premise ERP. The complexity, costs and security vulnerabilities of self-managed servers were also a cause for concern. After a thorough review, JRC selected Trimble Construction One Vista in the cloud, giving users quick, convenient and secure access to the full power of Vista from anywhere, whether in the office, on the jobsite or at home. Vista in the cloud takes advantage of the world-class Microsoft Azure platform, giving JRC peace of mind that in the event of a business disruption, they would be back up and running with little to no downtime. CFO Jeremy Johnson says, "It was nice to know we had a partner out there to manage all of these issues." JRC users would also be able to access the full functionality of Vista as if it were installed locally, including the ability to drag and drop files from the desktop and utilize printers and scanners easily. Challenge Solution "Before Vista in the cloud, you would have to go to five or six different places to gather data. That's not the case anymore." Jeremy Johnson CFO
