AdvanceNet today announced that it has been appointed by Hyperion Solutions Corporation as a consulting partner for its range of business performance management solutions.
"AdvanceNet has a history of successful enterprise application software implementations. This inherent understanding of how to use technology to help their clients to better manage their businesses makes them an ideal candidate for a consulting partner," said Craig Manning, Hyperion`s managing director of EMEA Indirect Markets.
AdvanceNet`s influence in the sub-Sahara Africa region and associated software implementation history has motivated the decision to take on Hyperion as a partner. "Our customers have been asking us for Hyperion skills. Many of our existing customers run Hyperion products and are looking to have one organisation that understands their systems," says Dave Marwood - AdvanceNet Divisional Manager.
Hyperion suits many of our clients running SunSystems and Navision financial solutions and this partnership will be strategic in our ability to offer these clients enterprise-wide consolidation and analytical capabilities," continues Marwood.
This further certification in business performance management for AdvanceNet comes at a time when corporate governance is in the spotlight. Understanding technology and its applicability to international standards, reporting requirements, conservative accounting practice and consolidation methods is going to be key for companies wanting to instil confidence with shareholders.
The consulting services for Hyperion products will fall under the Professional Services Division of AdvanceNet. This division has grown organically in the financial systems consulting arena over the past eight years and has the complementary knowledge and implementation skills to accommodate the Hyperion products.
AdvanceNet has built up a history of successful ERP, financial, customer relationship management and business intelligence software implementations throughout Africa. Its premier relationships in the computer systems and networking arena allow the company to offer robust technology solutions to clients that stretch from mobile computing and business software solutions to networked infrastructures.
