UNIT4 Business Software Partners With S1 Consulting and Software Services

VICTORIA, British Colombia and MANCHESTER, New Hampshire, May 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

UNIT4 Business Software, the North American subsidiary of UNIT4, the global business software group, has signed an agreement with S1 Consulting & Software Services (S1) to market and implement UNIT4's Agresso Business World product, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, into the Education and Resource sectors in Australia. As an implementation partner and distributor, S1 will provide project management and local domain expertise.

UNIT4 is the only enterprise software company providing "BLINC™" (Businesses Living IN Change) organizations with an ongoing, low-cost way to embrace change long after deployment. With its unique architecture, Agresso allows operational users to make changes to the system in response to business changes, without IT intervention or costly external consultants.

"Both the Education and Resource sectors in Australia are seeking alternatives to the often rigid current suppliers of ERP software solutions and Agresso Business World offers a real alternative. We view a partnership with UNIT4 as integral to our business model of providing end to end business solutions to our clients," says Martin Halmarick, managing director at S1 Consulting.

 "We examined the Australian market and found S1 to be a leading solution provider in the Education and Resource sectors. S1's nine years of experience coupled with UNIT4's range of business solutions provides the Australian market with the best of both worlds in terms of specialized consulting expertise and proven business software solutions," comments John Scott, vice president of sales and marketing at UNIT4 Business Software.
