Peace Hills Insurance Selects Agresso ERP to Provide Flexibility Now and in the Future
Agresso's Agile Architecture Chosen Ahead of JD Edwards, MS Dynamics GP and MS Dynamics NAV
VICTORIA, British Columbia and MANCHESTER, New Hampshire, March 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
UNIT4 Business Software [http://www.unit4software.com ], the North American subsidiary
of UNIT4, the global business software group, has signed an agreement with Peace Hills
Insurance that will see the company replace its aging green screen financial system with a
single, integrated and agile Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, Agresso Business
World.
Peace Hills Insurance is a licensed, general insurance company that has been insuring
western Canadians since 1982. Committed to serving the community, the company does so by
distributing their products through an Independent Brokerage System, giving them the
ability to offer competitive products to their customers. Peace Hills Insurance made the
choice to implement Agresso as the company's financial system because of its need for
improved reporting in changing business conditions. "Agresso's flexibility lets us get
pertinent information out to help us improve efficiency and make better business
decisions," says Todd Krepakevich, information systems project manager at Peace Hills
Insurance.
UNIT4 Business Software has seen an influx of new customers from a sector it calls
Businesses Living IN Change or BLINC(TM). An almost frenetic pace of change characterizes
these service-centric organizations, requiring them to be able to respond quickly and
easily. "We welcome Peace Hills Insurance as a BLINC customer, a group whose momentum has
been building with the recent addition of customers like OANDA and Silver Point Capital,"
says Shelley Zapp, president of UNIT4 Business Software in North America. "It's great to
see service sector organizations recognize that Agresso makes the difference in getting
accurate information out in today's ever changing business conditions, ensuring they can
better serve their users, partners and customers," continues Zapp.
The agreement includes the Financials, Planner and Expenses modules from the Agresso
suite.
