The Challenges
Disconnected business units
Specialized operational needs
Fragmented financials and payroll
Limited scalability
How CMiC Helped
Consolidated financials, project management, and operational workflows under a single platform
API-enabled integrations
"Bringing Industrial onto CMiC from Vista overall was a positive for the organization. It was also a positive for payroll, not because of CMiC, but because we consolidated two major payroll applications into one. This created a larger pool of payroll practitioners who could support the INDL payroll process, as the entire team became familiar with CMiC in one way or another. From my experience, there were weeks at INDL when I was the only person processing payroll and had no backup support available.” — Daniel Morales, Payroll Manager, Austin Industries
