"After using Microsoft Dynamics CRM, staff are reluctant to use anything else. Microsoft Dynamics was the right decision because it’s given us a tool we can work with really effectively."
"The collaborative, dynamic and flexible approach from our Advanced contacts has ensured that the deployment and ongoing development continues to impress and inspire."
"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."
“Staff no longer have to worry that stock will not be re-ordered in time. They also have a greater awareness of the cost of items and the importance of accurate stock management”
“Collaborative Planning is key to enabling our Trust to control the preparation, monitoring and updating of forecasts… We are particularly pleased with how the solution has engaged non-finance staff in the forecasting process which is fundamental to accurate financial planning, and central to the ongoing success of our ‘Building World Class Finance Programme.”
"We knew that these features would increase the load on the OpenVMS Alpha systems and scalability was not going to be possible without a change of platform. Given the rich functionality of our MIDAS system, there was no viable package replacement. Migration, therefore, offered us a fast, costeffective, and low-risk solution."
"Our existing SalesLogix system had three access points and each had a different, cumbersome, interface. It was difficult to import data and produce reports and expensive to develop and maintain, so we knew we had to switch."
"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 opted for Exchequer on the grounds of efficiency and its ability for greater data recording and reporting facilities. We did consider Sage, but felt it didn't entirely meet our required criteria."
“Advanced provides the missing link that enables the Web designer to easily integrate new e-business applications with an organisation's existing data.”
"On the back of the system we have completely restructured and transformed our Finance service, and delivered £1 million in savings. On top of that we anticipate additional savings because Collaborative Planning allows budgets to be managed more closely, which encourages querying of spending."
“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.”
“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.”
"Advanced has enabled us to obtain the best value for money from its technology investment. As a charity it is critical that every ‘£’ spent on IT offers more than a ‘£’ back in benefit. The Advanced approach, that begins with aligning IT to business goals, has created the strategy and infrastructure to allow us to achieve this."
“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.”
