COA Solutions Ltd: Patersons, a global printing and information
distribution company, has chosen an integrated financial management,
human resource (HR) and payroll software system from COA Solutions
(formerly CedarOpenAccounts)
(M2 PressWIRE Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
RDATE:27032008
UK headquartered Patersons required a customisable and solid system
that could support its existing and future growth plans through
acquisition. The company also needed an integrated reporting,
financial management and HR system to effectively support its global
operations. Improved reporting and process efficiency as well as easy
access to consolidated financial and HR data across its UKand
USAoffices were some of the key drivers for the new system.
Following a competitive tender, Patersonschose an integrated solution
from COA Solutions comprising an OpenAccounts accounting system and
OpenPeople HR and payroll system. Patersonsselected these systems due
to their flexibility, strength in reporting and HR as well as their
ability to closely align with the company's existing business systems.
This integrated software solution, which will replace Patersons'
current disparate systems, will dramatically reduce manual data entry
and improve efficiencies in management reporting allowing managers
worldwide to directly access real time information via the desktop.
Neil Fanthome-Hodgson, Chief Financial Officer of the Patersons Group
commented, "As a growing and acquisitive business, we needed a system
that could develop with the company and have the flexibility to
incorporate any companies we acquire in the future. The OpenPeople HR
and payroll system can be easily customised to suit our own specific
needs and by using a more user friendly and efficient financial
management system, we anticipate significant savings in time and
resources."
Fanthome-Hodgson continues, "Both our offices in the UKand USAwill have
web access to the new systems strengthening and unifying our HR and
financial management processes. Our existing print estimating and CRM
software packages will also easily integrate with the new COA Solutions
systems."
