Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Infor SunSystems as our Accounting software. It allows our finance team to maintain our accounts, manage our suppliers and code the costs to differet budget codes. We can forecast and budget for upcoming financial years. We are also able to integrate it with out purchase order system Proactis.

Pros and Cons

Infor SunSystems integrates really well with various purchase ordering systems to create one overall solution for us
The simplicity of using Infor SunSystems is really good. We have high staff turnover and new staff are able to pick up the use of the product fairly quickly
Infor SunSystems is a popular accounting software so when it comes to recruitment there is a lot of interest as the product is widely used by finance people
The administration of Infor SunSystems is very easy for the IT team and the product is always receiving updates

Although easy to use, Infor SunSystems has a very classical look which comes across outdated
Reporting feature is Infor SunSystems is not the best as it is not easy to create reports and the built in reports are limited in the filter options available
The Audit function needs configuring and is not ready out of the box so when you come to requiring audit data you can only retrieve after set up

Return on Investment

With the cost of living we had to reign in the budget this year. As it's easy to export data out of Infor SunSystems we were able to report on spend and gain greater control of outgoings
One of our objectives is to build new homes for people. Infor SunSystems allowed us to budget and forecast all the costs to determine what we could achieve
With Infor SunSystems being a popular accounting software we are able to recruit previous Infor SunSystems users therefore not having to spend on training staff which is very costly.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think the integration side of Infor SunSystems is really good where by it works well with our other business systems. It is easy to pick up for new staff members. We have not had to hold full blown training courses for unfamiliar users, they were able to use existing documentation and guides. The graphical interface is a drawback as it feels like you are using an old system.
