Product Highlights

Latest Generation of “e”- Finance Solutions

Agresso is a leading example of a new generation of “joined-up e-finance” systems. Leveraging the latest Internet technologies, Agresso’s e-capability allows users to avail of services, publish or receive information and pass business transactions over the web vastly improving the speed and accuracy of interchange in addition to dramatically cutting costs. Because information is captured at source, Agresso significantly reduces the administrative burden of manually internalising financial data, freeing finance staff to be deployed into strategy supporting roles in financial management and corporate governance.

Using the latest concepts in multi-tier, e-enabled technologies, secure and effective decentralization can be also be achieved and because many processes can be automated, an exception-only based focus saves time and money through increased productivity, at an individual and collective level.

This combination of powerful financial analysis and a highly flexible approach to financial management and its ability to handle project cost estimating and billing has made Agresso the preferred solution for “people-centric” organisations focused on service delivery - the public sector and professional services organisations in particular.
