Certinia (FinancialForce) Sales FAQ

Does Certinia handle billing across subscriptions, services, and usage in one system?

Yes — Multi-Revenue Billing consolidates subscription, usage, professional services, and inventoried-item billing into a single, multi-currency invoicing engine, reflecting Certinia's focus on services firms with mixed revenue models.

What is Certinia's Customer Success capability?

Customer Success spans the customer lifecycle from opportunity through delivery and renewal, including engagement analytics, self-service collaboration, and success-team operations — built on top of Salesforce's CRM data rather than replacing it.

Does Certinia give customer success managers a health-score dashboard?

Yes — Success Operations provides team-manager tooling, a customer health score dashboard, guided-success templates, and performance monitoring for CS teams, layered onto Certinia's broader customer success capability.

Is Certinia's CRM capability separate from core Salesforce CRM?

Certinia's CRM-adjacent capability — customer success, billing, success operations — extends Salesforce's native CRM rather than replacing it. You still need Salesforce licenses, and Certinia adds the services-billing and success-management layer on top.
