Intacct has also delivered new, three-way synchronization between these applications plus extensive workflow and automation for the key tasks that drive productivity for project and service-based organizations.

The combination of Salesforce, Clarizen and Intacct provides complete, end-to-end support for the project sales to delivery to cash lifecycle within Intacct Services Resource Planning.
