Access Accounting and Goodman Jones - a decade of perfect partnership
Press Release - Thursday, July 19, 2007
Chartered accountants Goodman Jones has recently celebrated more than ten years as part of Access Accounting's Professional Partner Programme (PPP). This opportunity brings together people connected with the recommendation, supply and support of Access Accounting's business solutions, and sets new benchmarks in the quality of the services and products enjoyed by members and their clients.
Philip Woodgate, a partner at Goodman Jones, commented, "In our business, keeping up with technology is so important. With globalisation a key factor, and the pressure from larger businesses, medium-sized companies have to keep up with these changes to survive - and thrive.
"Many of our customers have outgrown their existing business software package and want a range of extra functionality. They also need better integration with third-party software - but don't realise there's a system out there that can provide the level of integration they require. As a member of the PPP, I'm in a position to outline a spec for the customer and arrange a demonstration of Access Accounting's Dimensions software.
"We have a close relationship with our Access Specialist Centre, David Howard Consulting. The fruits of this relationship mean that our clients get the support they need and the system they want every time."
Boasting a large portfolio of high-profile clients across a diverse mix of industry sectors, Philip has to be confident that the software he recommends will meet the diverse needs of each business. Citing four key factors that give him confidence in consistently recommending Access Accounting's Dimensions, he commented, "The software is module based, so I know that clients will only pay for what they need now. I also know that installation is quick and well-planned, so that minimal working hours are lost during the data transfer. Key benefits - such as security, SQL-server speed and capacity and Crystal reporting - all come as standard. Finally, the integration capacities are immense."
Being a member of the PPP offers all-round benefits. By recommending the Access Accounting solution, Philip knows his customers are in safe hands. His long- established relationship with the UK's largest independent software house means that the company is the first to experience tried-and-tested technological developments before anyone else. John Beech, MD for Access Accounting, concluded, "As a long-standing member of the programme, Goodman Jones certainly fly the flag. We have experienced many mutual benefits from their involvement and look forward to continuing our close relationship well into the future."
