Customer Insights

“We started gathering [lease] data 18 months prior to implementation. It is very time-consuming to locate and gather the required fields within each lease. Contracts changed and there were new leases and amendments to be made, which caused more work to be done than anticipated. No matter how much you prepare your leases beforehand, there is always more information that will need to be gathered.” – Nick Domicile, Director of Financial Reporting and Technical Accounting, Apex Tool Group

“Early on, we hired temporary employees to gather leases across the organization, including leases for various buildings and locations, equipment and embedded leases located within contracts. Embedded leases took a large majority of the project – they required a lot of time to assist with identification.” –  James Rogers, Senior Financial Analyst Penn State Health
