"The reporting functionality within Advanced Exchequer makes it much easier to produce and distribute management reports, helping us to provide transparency of information to all staff and stakeholders."

“We weren’t too sure about this at first as we hadn’t heard very much about PDA (Netezza), but we did some research online and found there were a lot of case studies where people were reporting they were getting 100-500 times better performance. So we became very interested, and asked Advanced for a proof of concept so we could have a closer look and ensure it would meet our requirements. Advanced approached IBM and we received agreement for a loan of the appliance for a one-month proof of concept. The PDA (Netezza) server spreads the load of the query over multiple processing units and multiple disks. Once you get the appliance set up and the database has been replicated across, you can actually start using it straight away, you have no complex design of a reporting database or anything like that.”

"It’s important that we regularly assess our processes and systems to see where we can improve and save time. While NHS trusts face heavy budget pressures, we are aware of our responsibility within the finance department to be as efficient as possible so that resources can be freed up for frontline services."

“As a solicitor dealing with very sensitive information, it is vital that we have a detailed insight into how the firm is performing and are aware of any complaints or compliance issues, so that we can quickly respond to them. The reporting tool and automated workflows in ALB make this much easier and help us to continue delivering a high-quality service to our clients.”

"There are no possible package replacements for our unique software applications - so migration offered the quickest, cheapest and lowest-risk option for us to move from this ageing DEC VAX platform to an open, and more flexible Windows Server environment."

“It is extremely useful to have a dedicated account manager to hand who can either answer any questions quickly, or signpost us to the correct point of contact.”

"We have over 7,000 alumni records on our database, and so far we have contact details for over 5,500 of these. Donor Strategy allows us to store, track and edit every morsel of information we have, so we’re always on top of things."

"As a charity we always need to be mindful of costs and therefore re-skilling and cross training our existing staff in the new solution is key to the continued success of the project. We see Advanced as a trusted partner providing a pivotal roll supporting us to reach this objective."

"We particularly liked its ability to map family relationships and also the publications module. We realised that the latter would enable us to keep track of who orders training resources and other publications and help us to build our database of contacts as well as helping with stock control and forecasting."

"Introducing Advanced Cloud Marketplace has significantly reduced the transactional costs of ordering and paying invoices for items procured through the system."

"We have streamlined our processes and been able to tailor Exchequer to suit our methods, such as handling up front payments, creating a bespoke solution that you would never get out the box."

"We made the switch to ALB and don’t regret it for a second, We’re incredibly excited about what the future holds for our firm and Advanced will play an important."

"With our migration to Windows we were able to deploy the application on a far more costeffective platform, while ensuring we could maintain the competitive advantage we gained from this bespoke system."

“The Catalogue Savings Report fits with our wider organisational procurement objectives, in that we are looking to get the best value for money without risking dissatisfying our end users. They are all involved in specialised scientific research, so the overriding objective is to help customers make the right decision and manage their budget.”

"When I received a demo of eXchequer365 I was suitably impressed. We had recently provided the sales team with iPads so this was a neat fit with our existing Advanced Exchequer solution that allowed direct access to information during client visits."
