Microsoft Business Solutions has today announced that Marco Cable Management, a rapidly growing manufacturer in Anglesey, has selected Microsoft Business Solutions - Great Plains to manage its accounting and ordering system across the organisation. Marco Cable Management has worked with MBS' certified partner Liber8, who implemented the solution. 

Marco found that it had outgrown the existing financial systems it had in place since start up and that expansion of the business justified making a longer term IT investment.  With a state-of-the-art 22,000 square foot facility and an anticipated £10m+ turnover in the near future, Marco needed an integrated solution to manage its ordering and financial processes.   

The firm took the opportunity to upgrade their email and server capability as well, with Windows Small Business Server 2003, with integrated Exchange and SQL Server 2000, joining with Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Great Plains to provide an end-to-end solution.

Marco Managing Director, Ian MacGregor, commented: "As a fast growing company, we needed a system that could both support our growth while proving adaptable, to support our future needs.  We chose Microsoft Great Plains because it has the financial and process management functionality we required at a price point we found attractive.  We opted to work with Liber8 as they demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs as a business and how these could be served through Microsoft Great Plains."
