Context and need
Olivier CHALAND, director of Wat, explains the origin of his need: “We were looking for a professional management solution and compared several solutions on the market.”
Wat initially wanted a proprietary solution, installed on its own premises.
Olivier CHALAND explains: “I wasn’t initially convinced by the choice of a SaaS solution, with an application subscription. ”
Today, Mr CHALAND emphasizes the benefits of a non-proprietary solution, saying “we don’t have to worry about updates. ”
The solution
Mr CHALAND explains his choice of VSActivity by :
Price,
Support (no heavy training),
The fact that VSA is a recent solution with the possibility of upgrading on customer request,
And that the whole package is an integrated application for all functions (administrative, commercial, technical, etc.).
Mr CHALAND points out that he and his teams started with VSA and succeeded in :
Review their history,
Understanding logic,
Recalibrating old habits.
The benefits
Olivier CHALAND’s conclusion today is to “bring rigor and organization to his company. ”
The collaboration is going well and will last a long time, as “listening and follow-up are key elements that will make VSA a long-lasting and appreciated solution. “
