Ingersoll Rand: Managing Spreadsheets in the Age of Digital Transformation
Ingersoll Rand relied on many End User Computing Tools such as Microsoft Excel and Access, that had been developed for their specific needs. Although these tools offered the required flexibility and agility that was lacking in traditional CPQ software systems, they had their own limitations. With EASA, Ingersoll Rand were able to create enterprise-grade applications that completely protected their IP and eliminated typical spreadsheet management issues.

Is my data stored securely?

What kind of companies are best suited for EASA?
EASA can be used to quote and sell any product, but we specialize in those where an out-of-the-box CPQ solution does not quite fit.
