Sapphire adds Rocket Software's CorVu brand to its portfolio

Monday, 1 February 2010

Sapphire Systems, one of the largest independent providers of financial accounting and business management solutions in the UK and Europe, has teamed up with Rocket Software to supply the CorVu suite of applications. Headquartered in the City of London, with regional operations around the UK and USA, Sapphire is the global leading partner for Infor FMS SunSystems and the leading SAP Business One Gold Partner in EMEA.

Sapphire has over 600 customers, ranging from small businesses to large multi-national enterprises. Since starting in 1993 Sapphire has become known for supplying, implementing and supporting business solutions that cover a wide range of disciplines, from financial management systems, ERP, procurement, CRM, HR and payroll.

David Singh, Sales & Marketing Director at Sapphire commented: “Over the past 18 months we have seen an increasing demand, from the market and our customers, for budgeting and planning solutions. I believe as a direct result of the current economic climate, businesses are looking for systems that can not only help them streamline the budgeting process, but also add real value by giving them high quality information quickly and easily so they can react quicker.”

Sapphire undertook a 6 month review of the market and looked at a number of solutions before choosing the CorVu suite to add to it’s solutions portfolio. David said: “Many of the solutions we looked at, whilst very functional, were simply overkill for what most people want. What we found in CorVu was a suite of applications that was rich in functionality, easy to understand and use by non-technical staff; it could be deployed quickly and importantly was affordable.”

Initially Sapphire will be concentrating on CorPlanning and CorBusiness and have worked with Rocket to integrate it with Infor FMS SunSystems and SAP Business One. CorPlanning enables forward-thinking organisations to manage their budgeting, forecasting and planning processes in an efficient, holistic and focused manner and link these to the strategic plans of the organisation through CorStrategy.

David Singh concluded: “As well as finding the right software, finding the right people to work with has also been a major factor in our choice, the team at Rocket have been enthusiastic and supportive and this has paid off already.”

Earlier Sapphire announced that it is to supply The Peabody Trust, the London based provider of affordable and sustainable housing, with a CorPlanning solution integrated to their existing SunSystems.
