Navision Software South Africa has appointed Spicer Professional Services, a Division of the Spicer Group, as a Navision Software Solution Centre (NSC) in South Africa. Due to an increased demand for ERP based solutions, especially within the Small to Medium Enterprise market in South Africa, Navision South Africa has increased their local reseller base dramatically over the past year.
Spicer is special in that is one of a select few South African listed IT companies that derive their revenue solely from services. Spicer Professional Services (SPS) is the digital services arm of the Spicer Group, providing services that enable clients to achieve competitive business advantage through technology. SPS builds relationships with intellectual capital partners, such as Navision Software South Africa, to enable them to supply a total business offering across the market. The division`s aim is to provide applications that are appropriate and effective in the African context.
According to Navision Software South Africa managing director Keith Mullan, the drastic increase in resellers is due to the growing demand for the product. "We have experienced an excellent year in South Africa and the rest of Africa. More and more resellers like Spicer Professional Services are opting to sell our product because we have a reputation for being first-to-market with advanced technologies in enterprise business solutions and our goal is to achieve long-term viability by becoming the provider of the leading standard."
Spicer Professional Services Managing Director Coert Vorster has a vision of providing state-of-the-art, end-to-end IT services. "I believe we have the ideal infrastructure and the vision to continue to take Navision Software to market successfully. Navision Software has a long and solid track record for innovation and industry leadership. All of its resources are focused on developing software for enterprise management with the end-user as the focal point. Being a Navision Solution Centre ensures that SPS and Navision Software leverage through each other`s strengths. We know that a one-size-fits-all` approach doesn`t work for all business situations.
Mid-sized companies have similar requirements to large, global enterprises in terms of integrated business operations and the need for information, but without the organisational complexity. Navision Software fits well into this market segment."
Mullan says Navision Software is totally committed to training, supporting and certifying its NSC`s. "By doing this, we will ensure that our customers are always able to find qualified NSC`s like SPS with a sound knowledge of our business. Spicer Professional Services provides a quality service that enables its customers to achieve competitive business advantage through technologies like Navision Software. Navision Software has more than 22 country-specific adaptations of its base application. All of these adaptations adhere to local laws, language and particular market demands and Navision Software is involved in all stages of the localisation process, guaranteeing the same high quality products throughout the world. As more and more companies take their business beyond national boundaries, Navision Software`s aim is to provide international products with a local flavour."
