"Advanced's ability to modernise a system by performing a language translation as the application is being migrated to an open systems platform speaks volumes about their expertise as an OpenVMS resource."

"The implementation of this solution has given our users an ease of online purchasing with set prices, rich catalogue data and selected suppliers resulting in a friendly low-cost marketplace."

"Advanced has an excellent reputation across the sector and having multiple products from the same supplier means that our IT systems are more integrated, which saves us considerable amounts of time and therefore money."

"The mobile app will reduce the time and cost to process student expense claims by 15%*, allowing my team more opportunity to work with club organisers in other areas such as gaining sponsorship, running events and other commercial activity."

“The support we received from Advanced throughout the project was excellent, with regular and effective communications."

“Purchasing of highvolume products through the system is efficient and simple via catalogue management with end-to-end electronic transactions.”

"Ultimately, the Woodland Trust wants to be as efficient as possible so that every pound donated to the charity is put to the maximum effect. CARENG from Advanced NFP helps us drive down administration costs and be run as efficiently as possible. It’s also been critical in supporting our revenue generation activities."

"We considered large and small providers from the UK and US... in the end, we chose Advanced NFP out of all of them for demonstrable sector expertise and a track record of successful delivery."

“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.”

"As a longstanding customer it is satisfying to know that Advanced will continue to innovate."

“Since switching to Advanced, we have seen improvements in compliance, efficiency and cost savings. The take-up by academic staff has been excellent, far greater than we experienced previously.”

"Collaborative Planning far exceeded the functionality of the Excel-based system we considered and crucially integrated into the general ledger within our accounting system, also provided by Advanced. The consistent look and feel throughout ensured all departments quickly embraced the system as it is simple to analyse financial information in a clear, standardised format."

"With this technology we are able to react quickly to potential issues and make any necessary operational changes. Since implementing the software we have already seen an increase in picking performance."

"We were also impressed by Advanced presence in the care market. This translated into a good understanding of our requirements, particularly in the key area of income processing."

"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."
