Projects
Definition of user requirements and selection of new accounting software for centralised accounts function. Scale 600+ professional staff, 27 offices. Scope of requirements CRM, project costing, accounting ledgers, HR & Payroll. |
Issues
Reorganisation – centralised
accounts function providing a service to all 27 offices needing to produce
timely accounting information accessible over the web to all offices.
Access to up to date management
information - data was held in many different systems making access to
consolidated information difficult and time consuming. Desire for extended finance and user
independence – enabling all
offices to enter day to day transactions locally, with Head Office
consolidating and reporting back information about office and Group
performance on a timely basis all over the Web. Outgrown existing accounts software –
S&P had outgrown its existing accounts software which required much
duplication of data entry to provide any meaningful data.
Need for appropriate systems
- desire for business systems to be inline with the activities of the
business and to be seen as a modern, efficient, systems savvy organisation
by clients and competitors.

requirements were documented and a RFI issued to small group of potential
suppliers. Supplier proposals were evaluated and short-listed for software

“Microguide’s
knowledge of the most appropriate accounting software solutions in the
marketplace enabled us to focus and evaluate a small number of products.
What impressed me from the start was the immediate rapport
established with the Microguide team. We welcomed their down to earth
pragmatic approach and particularly valued the disciplined approach to
systems specification and selection”. |
