This is the first webinar in our three-part Costpoint Lessons Learned webinar series. In this session, we will introduce attendees to the three pillars of Costpoint with an introduction to each of Accounts, Organizations and Project. We will discuss the purpose of each of these pillars, as well as discuss a few examples of the structure of each of these we have encountered.

Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, attendees will understand the three pillars of Costpoint; know the various options to design the pillars; and be able to design the pillars for the current and future needs of their business.

This webinar is part of a 3-part series, "Costpoint Lessions Learned," which you can learn more about here.
