~ Global launch of SunSystems exfm was quickly followed by first sale ~

Systems Union Group plc, the global software vendor, has successfully completed the launch of SunSystems Extended Financial Management (exfm).

SunSystems exfm is a fully integrated suite of software applications that combines the power of financial management and business intelligence. It provides flexible financial transaction processing with real-time reporting and analysis, together with integrated budgeting and forecasting. Systems Union is the only company, worldwide, that can provide this comprehensive range of sophisticated functionality for mid-market businesses from one corporate entity.

Since the launch of this new software solution in September 2022, customer and partner events have been well attended around the world. Paul Coleman, chief executive officer of Systems Union Group plc, author of SunSystems, said: “The response from channel partners and customers has been very positive. This is tremendously encouraging for the future with many potential users evaluating the solution at present. We are confident of securing business wins during the remainder of the year. The first sale, replacing Sage Line 100, was secured by SunSystems channel partner, Foundation Systems, with Regent Exhibitions, organiser of IMEX the worldwide exhibition for incentive travel, meetings and events held in Frankfurt.”

Over the past 12 months, Systems Union has grown significantly through an acquisition strategy that has combined business intelligence with financial management software. The spread of skills and applications within the Group – including SunSystems, MIS, Lasata and REDtechnology – have been combined in SunSystems exfm.
