Phocas allows users to get to their data and get results fast. No more trying to explain to the I.T. staff what they want and then getting something different and going through the process several times before finally getting what they want. Self service is what it is all about.
As the manger of the I.T. department I am always looking for ways to improve our products and services to our users. So far, Phocas can given us results. Can't complain about that.
The best way to determine the value of PHOCAS is to 'Try it .... You'll Like it" .... sounds corny but is the truth.
Fast access to information .... when our Salespeople want it and need it. No longer having to wait to explain it to an I.T. person and wait. ... Need information on a customer. Got It. Need information on product availability. Got It. Need Results. Got It.
