Situation

Ingersoll Rand (IR), a global leader in industrial productivity and efficiency, is realizing results quickly following its go-live on Oracle CPQ Cloud.

Due to a pending merger and conflict of interest, IR needed a new partner to complete its Oracle CPQ Cloud implementation. AST inherited the project in a state of partial completion yet successfully delivered the solution on time and within budget. The primary goals of the CPQ Cloud project included:

  • Install infrastructure to bring consistency to the quoting process;
  • Produce faster, more-consistent, real-time customer quotes with electronic signature capabilities;
  • Eliminate manual spreadsheet quoting and pricing;
  • Standardize controls to yield higher-margin deals;
  • Reduce handoffs, eliminate waste, and condense cycle times; and
  • Link contracts to “Completes” and Cross-Sell/Up-Sell Revenue.

AST came in at a challenging time in our CPQ implementation initiative and worked as a true partner in helping us unlock the power of Oracle CPQ for direct sales and our channel partners to effectively configure our products, with the correct price, and consistently and quickly turn a quote into an order without errors."
