IRIS Software Group
Iris Financials meets our needs by providing a single platform for our finance users to access real time data. This is aided by accurate reporting which can be accessed over the cloud or on premise, we chose the cloud solution. Our users report that the system is methodical and matches out working processes.

It is extremely suitable for the client since for us they are all US-based companies, even though the main headquarters of our business is in Mexico.

It is less appropriate in terms of usability than taxes, since it does not include adaptability to Mexican legislation, and its deployment through customizations and reports is extremely expensive.

Usability
IRIS Software Group
Once implemented Iris Financials is fairly intuitive to use. Our staff report that they can use the system comfortably after only a few hours of training. Depending on any previous systems that you use implementation can be quite lengthy but the migration team we dealt with worked with us and helped us to get the most out of setup experience.

The platform is stable even though a version for MacOS is also missed.

In general, the user management and administration process is intuitive and once the roles are defined it is simple and easy.

However, the user experience has become out of date in relation to other web-based platforms currently available on the market.

FMS was used previously in our organization but it lacked any central overview (MAT View) which made it difficult to manage and collect/analyze data . IRIS Financials added this much needed central layer to assist our CFO and finance users, and transfer them in to a central way of working.
