“Behind the Numbers” (cont.)
• DATA GATHERING – Requested new query design from CRM (Contracting
Team) which provided one product per project on single line. This enabled us to
determine actual value of signing at product and project level.
Previously multiple projects would appear on line under any given project.
Each line has one product
assigned at project level
• Revenue Service File – Cleaned and assigned coding necessary to integrate with
SFPlus reports for purpose of “actuals” reporting.
