UNIT4 Business Software,a provider of business software for fast changing organizations, has entered into an agreement worth over $1 million dollars with TRIUMF, Canada’s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics.
Officials with UNIT4 Business Software said that the agreement comprises the full Agresso (News – Alert) business world suite, including financials, HR and payroll, project costing and billing, procurement, planning, business process automation and reporting and analytics.
“As a research center almost every project we undertake is, by definition, something that hasn’t been done before; we needed an agile business tool that could let us easily cope with new situations,” said Nigel Lockyer, director of TRIUMF, in a statement.
Lockyer said that new partnerships can present unique tax and reporting requirements and the center wanted to be able to manage these changes ourselves.
Lockyer added that the Agresso solution will not only modernize the business functions, it will allow the center to be self-sufficient in the future.
“As a world-class scientific research laboratory, TRIUMF requires a flexible, responsive information system to support its administrative functions, in order to comply with constantly changing and increasingly stringent regulatory demands, and to provide reliable and timely management reporting. Agresso Business World meets all of these requirements and we look forward to working with UNIT4 to implement a new generation contemporary information system for TRIUMF,” said Steve McDonald (News – Alert), manager, computing and networking services at TRIUMF.
“The architecture of Agresso impressed us; it will empower us to handle whatever comes our way,” said McDonald.
“We are thrilled to welcome TRIUMF to our growing list of not-for-profit customers,” said Shelley Zapp, president of UNIT4 Business Software in North America.
“They are a unique organization with brilliant people doing world-class scientific research right in our backyard; they know how to run their projects and operations and Agresso will provide them agility to operate as they see fit, efficiently and with a low ongoing cost of ownership,” said Zapp.
