Local Maconomy distributor PSA Solutions has announced it is implementing its Audit and Tax consulting solution at BDO Spencer Steward Cape Town, through its Cape Town reseller BS3. Maconomy will enable BDO Spencer Steward to standardise its business processes, provide a better service to its clients and improve profitability.
Due to rapid growth over the past years, BDO Spencer Steward had outgrown its existing information systems, and decided to invest in a newer technology such as Maconomy.
According to BDO Spencer Steward director Michael Riley, BDO Spencer Steward was in search of a holistic IT solution that could handle its specific audit and tax business requirements, while providing an integrated platform that would allow it to better achieve its business objectives. "One of our most important business requirements is to construct a single, consolidated view of each client and the related BDO Spencer Steward activities that occur when managing a particular client's account. Maconomy provides the entire business with a clear view on the value of the customer to BDO Spencer Steward."
He says Maconomy's Audit and Tax consulting solution was specifically designed for the audit and tax vertical, providing a solution that caters for the exact business needs over an integrated platform. "Maconomy integrates key elements of the audit profession, such as job management, work in progress and client relationship management (CRM) with back-office processing such as general ledger and accounts payable/receivable and reporting. This information is made available to each person, according to their specific role within the organisation - all in real-time. This workflow-driven technology, over an ERP-type platform, makes Maconomy extremely attractive.
"Although there are international products available in the marketplace that would offer us similar functionality to Maconomy, the local-based products simply cannot compete. Similarly, we could not find the desired level of support from an internationally-based software vendor. Maconomy has shown a strong local support presence through its partner network, like BS3 in Cape Town," he adds.
Since Maconomy Audit and Tax consulting solution is specifically built for the audit vertical market, it is preconfigured according to industry 'best practice' and many years of R&D in this field. This allows BDO Spencer Steward to further enhance its operations and add value to its business processes by utilising the tools and features already available in Maconomy. Unlike many generic ERP solutions that require a high level of customisation, Maconomy's vertical solution requires very little customisation -- thereby minimising the cost and risk involved in implementing the package.
"During our requirements specifications process, we also found that the following was most appealing about Maconomy. It is built on modern technologies, including an SQL server.”
