Lorge Consulting (Lorge), a member of JSE-listed software group Softline Limited, swept the boards at the Southern African regional ACCPAC Business Partner Awards held in the Drakensberg this month.
For an unprecedented fifth year in succession, Lorge was named ACCPAC National Business Partner of the Year by LA Technologies, the sub-Saharan distributor of the mid-range financial software system.
In addition, Lorge Johannesburg was awarded "Diamond" status - the highest status awarded to business partners in this region. Lorge Pretoria and Lorge Cape Town received "Platinum" and "Gold" status respectively.
These awards echo the acclaim accorded Lorge by the global ACCPAC organisation over the years. In 1999, the SA group has won the International Business Partner of the Year award for the fourth consecutive year, while the group has also won the International Development Partner of the Year award twice.
Tony Lorge, sales and marketing director at Lorge Consulting, says the latest accolades are testimony to the Lorge group's depth of skills, expertise and consistently high levels of service.
"There are over 300 business partners in sub-Saharan Africa all implementing ACCPAC software. Lorge has differentiated itself through its professional, structured methodological approach to delivering pragmatic, end-to-end business solutions.
In addition, the group's R&D focus - which has resulted in the development of several add-on modules to integrate with ACCPAC - has enabled us to offer solutions tailored to customer's precise requirements," he adds.
Going forward, Lorge is ideally positioned to further penetrate the corporate midrange accounting software market locally and internationally, as part of their strategy to become a global provider of services to this market. This is further augmented by their access to the Sofline group's existing international R&D resources, expertise and infrastructure.
"We are currently assessing several promising opportunities in Australasia, a market in which Softline is particularly active," Lorge concludes.
