You invested in Vantagepoint to help your business run better, but if your team isn’t utilizing its full capabilities, your investment isn’t yielding the greatest possible return.
Many teams don’t fully understand or utilize the system, which means they often rely on manual processes that duplicate efforts and waste valuable time. As a result, staff are usually overwhelmed by low-value tasks instead of focusing on work that moves the business forward.
The Risks Of Not Fully Leveraging Vantagepoint
Without the time or training to explore areas like reporting, CRM, billing, or project lifecycle tools, firms often end up treating Vantagepoint as a glorified timesheet rather than the business management engine it was designed to be. Your team ends up working harder, not smarter, and your business suffers from missed insights, slower decisions, and lost opportunities to serve your clients more effectively.
Suffering from any of these symptoms could mean you’re missing out on opportunities:
- Reporting Blind Spots: You rely on default reports instead of building custom dashboards that provide leaders with real-time visibility.
- CRM Misuse: You have all your contacts entered as clients, but there’s no way to track pursuits or build a sales pipeline.
- Billing Misalignment: Your billing processes don’t accurately reflect the contract terms because the project setup wasn’t aligned from the start.
- Project Gaps: Project details, such as planning, budget tracking, and closeout steps, are inconsistent or missing altogether.
- Lack of Ownership: Your team never received complete training, or you have no internal owner who keeps the system updated and aligned with your evolving processes.
What if your team utilized Vantagepoint to its fullest potential?
How To Get More from the System You Already Own
At Entegra, we help firms unlock the full potential of Vantagepoint, whether you’re just getting started or years into using the system.
Here are a few ways we help:
Training: Delivered remotely or onsite, to small groups or full teams. We also provide customized documentation that utilizes your own system screenshots, ensuring training is clear and practical.
System Audits: We assess how your current setup aligns with best practices and provide actionable recommendations to enhance workflows, minimize friction, and optimize the system to support your business goals.
Outsourced System Administration: For firms without the in-house bandwidth to manage Vantagepoint internally, we offer ongoing oversight, updates, and configuration support to ensure your system always performs at its best.
Hiring Entegra is an investment that pays for itself by getting the most out of what you’re already using. It’s how you turn a powerful system into a strategic business advantage. As Deltek continues to roll out updates and functionality, firms without a dedicated admin or partner may never catch up and continue to fall further behind their competitors who do optimize the system.
Why a System Administrator Matters
Don’t let a lack of training or time prevent your firm from gaining the insights and efficiency that Vantagepoint can provide. With the proper guidance, your system can do far more than just track time. It can help your business grow, plan more effectively, and serve clients better.
