Painpoints:

Emerging Gov Cons Key Challenges & Pain Points

Unanet Can Help – What to Listen For…

• “Our payroll processing takes forever.”

• “We are bidding on a CPFF project and need costing, billing &

reporting features.”

• “We have to use a separate application for calculating our indirect

rates.”

• “We need to ensure that we are complying with DCAA Timekeeping

regulations”

• “We need to provide project managers with timely information to

monitor and manage project burn rate”

• “We spend far too much time on reviewing, correcting and approving

timesheets and expense reports”

• “Our manual and fragmented resource allocation and forecasting

processes results in too high overhead.”

Mature Gov Con Finance Team Key Challenges & Pain Points

Unanet Can Help – What to Listen For…

• “Our monthly billing process is onerous because we have different

contract types.”

• “We have numerous cost pools and we need a system that supports

complex indirect cost calculations.”

• “We need more robust and more detailed controls and approvals for

project managers over who can charge to which projects, and their

budget.”

• “We need to provide executives with consistent reporting, on-

demand, across the business on key metrics for their programs and

staff.”

• “We are spending too much time managing and reconciling

transactions from different systems and integrating data.”

Mature Gov Con Project Managers Key Challenges & Pain Points

Unanet Can Help – What to Listen For…

• We never have good visibility into our resource allocation, so often times we are unable to accurately answer questions like:

➢ “Who is available next month with these specific skills?”

➢ “Which projects are overstaffed/understaffed?”

➢ “Which team members are overbooked/under-booked?”

➢ “When will specific resources become available?”

➢ “Are our team members meeting utilization targets?”

• By the time we create project status reports and deliver them to our team and our stakeholders it is already significantly out of date. We want to improve our process and be able to answer questions like:

➢ “Whose time and expense reports are in process?”

➢ “Where are we relative to the next milestone?”

➢ “Are there any obstacles that will impede our progress?”

CSP Certification and Support Program – Consulting Support

Alfonso Meza, Senior Business ConsultantNancy Cazenas, Director of PMO

Program Overview

• The goal of this program is to expand Unanet’s reach and capacity by leveraging Unanet partners to sell, implement and support the Unanet solution.

• The Unanet Certified Service Provider (CSP) program fulfills the implementation portion of this goal. To be successful, partners must have a comprehensive understanding of Unanet’s value proposition and have the necessary training and support to successfully implement the product.

• Achieving this goal requires a significant investment by Unanet and the partner organization. Unanet proficiency and competence is achieved by a combination of training, self-study, shadowing and ongoing support over an extended period.

• This approach enables a partner to absorb the layers of functionality that encompass the product and to eventually implement the product independently.

What is Social for Sharing?• Social for sharing is pre-written content that is

distributed at the start of every week. It is designed to help you spread the word about Unanet and to help

establish you as a person with some expertise in our industry.

Do I Have to Use The Content?• Not at all – it is there if you need it!

Where Would I Use Social for Sharing?• Social for sharing content is designed to be used on

Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, or through any social channel that you would like to use!

How Do I Get Started?• The content is designed to be simply cut and paste.

The next few slides will help guide you on a few common social activities and we can always help you

with more complex efforts or any questions.

Social for SharingLeveraging the Unanet Partner Team

111

Step 1• Copy the content from the Social for Sharing

email. Go to your social channel of choice (For this example – we are using LinkedIn!)

Step 2• Go to your “Home Page” of LinkedIn. Click in

the box titled “Share an article, photo, or

update”. Paste a line of content in from the Social for Sharing Email and click the blue “Post” button. (You can also click the camera icon to paste a graphic or photo)

Step 3

• Monitor your social media. The goal is to not just “share” but to engage. LinkedIn will notify you of activity related to your efforts.

Click on the notification bell shaped icon. A list of “notifications” will appear. In this example, we can see that Sarah has liked my post. Thank those who engage with your content, answer questions, provide commentary, etc.!

Social for SharingLeveraging the Unanet Partner Team

112

Your Profile• Make sure your LI account is updated. There are many articles that can help, but here is a recent

one from Forbes.

Groups• Groups on LinkedIn are a great opportunity to interact with Customers, Prospects, Partners and

Unanet friends. The wonderful thing about groups is that people have voluntarily told you where they are “hanging out” and what they are interested in. A list of possible LI groups is on the next slide.

Intelligence• LinkedIn is a great place to gather information about both companies and individuals. LinkedIn will

helpfully serve you up information that can provide a possibly entry point for a discussion with a customer or a prospect. It’s easier to pick up the phone and congratulate a prospect on their new

contract or recent award than to simply make a cold call.

Engage

• Engage with people on LinkedIn. The more active and involved you are on LinkedIn, the more you

can establish yourself as a subject matter expert.

Help Create Content• Take photos at events and share them socially, congratulate your customers and prospects social for

big accomplishments, let us know about content that you would like included in Social for Sharing.
