If you are researching Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, it's good to know that Lateral Solutions is not affiliated to any single software supplier - we are well positioned to recommend which software package is exactly suited to your needs.

When we speak to you about the choice available for your organisation, our description of the options will not be a uni-directional pre-sales presentation, but a proposal encompassing all the options with a thorough knowledge of your needs.

We have valuable experience of the strengths, and limitations, of the software now available to small and medium-sized (SME) companies for managing finance/accounting and ERP systems, contact management, and CRM software.

Allow Lateral Solutions to help you cut through the jargon and explain how real customer service, supplier relationships, and financial control, can be enhaced via your IT setup.

We analyse systems and advise on strategies for database marketing, and customer management to extract tangible business benefit from IT investment.

SOFTWARE - OUR EXPERTISE

Working closely with suppliers such as Sage, Microsoft, Systems Union - Sun Accounts, MYOB, Pegasus, Access Accounting and more, we ensure that we have the latest product information at our fingertips. We optimise software based on your business strategy.

OUR APPROACH

Questions that we ask each client before recommending a particular software solution include:

• How far do your software applications meet your strategic business objectives, and what do you and your team feel are the strengths and weaknesses of the system?
  
• Will your current hardware configuration be able to support a particular package?
  
• How many people will the software be operated by, now and in the foreseeable future?
  
• How many transactions must the software support?
  
• Will remote users need to be set up on the system?
  
• Do other software applications and modules need to be incorporated into the solution?
  
• What training implications are there with the different packages?
  
• What type of reports will you need to generate?
  
• How is your current IT infrastructure configured?

THE NEXT STEPS

Once we’ve gauged the environment in which the software will be deployed we can guide you through the issues that will need to be considered before making your final choice.

Whatever your choice, we’ll do our utmost to ensure that the system, when delivered, is optimally configured to your requirements and works from day one.
