How business applications can transform your organisation

Business applications can drive evolution and transformation for organisations. Designed specifically to answer the challenges of modern business, you can optimise processes, enhance collaboration, leverage data insights, improve customer experience and enhance agility and innovation. Achieving your strategic goals and being competitive across all your propositions can be accelerated with modern business applications.

Understanding your environment

We’ll evaluate your front and back-office functions, as well as reviewing existing applications, workflows and data needs. Once we’re familiar with your current status, we’ll propose improvements that will make a significant business impact, either optimising existing systems or, where appropriate, implementing new line-of-business solutions.

Integrating for greater coherence

We assess your existing technology portfolio to decide which applications and services can be brought together, whether using APIs or through effective business intelligence, reporting and analysis. You’ll benefit from seamless interaction between processes and true management information.

Expert support, exemplary service

Our dedicated team has more than two decades of experience providing Business Applications Support, including first and second-line support for an array of common enterprise applications. Our service desk supports many line-of-business bespoke applications, following standard operating procedures, defined together with you.

Business Central offers you the ability to streamline processes and accelerate growth in one single solution.

Microsoft Dynamics GP

Although part of Microsoft’s legacy software, Dynamics GP continues to be familiar and reliable platform for some organisations. Designed for small and medium-sized organisations, Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains (GP) is a cost-effective, easy-to-use accounting and management system that provides a wealth of business intelligence tools and flexible reporting options, all with seamless integration with your other Microsoft apps.

ERP consultancy and system selection

The process of researching and selecting the right ERP system can be difficult and complex.

Advania’s flexible approach to ERP system selection helps you navigate the options and provides you with a shortlist that represents the best solutions for your technical and budgetary requirements.

Unlock greatest value from your business data with Microsoft Power BI

Microsoft Power BI (Business Intelligence) is a data and analytics reporting tool that allows you to collect and make sense of your organisation’s data. The tools and solutions included in Power BI bring together your unrelated data sources to produce visualisations and insightful reports. These allow your team to make important decisions based on the KPIs that are most vital to you.

With more than two decades of experience in solutions and successful client consultancy, we can guide you through the decisions and deployments that lead to optimised and integrated success.

How Advania’s enterprise application support can help your organisation

Where our business application support focuses on specific software needs and individual tools, enterprise application support covers large-scale, integrated software systems that are critical to your overall operation.

We’ll help you get the most from your ERP tools by analysing the insights that you need to react and plan proactively.
