2009-11-09 16:20:26 - Business applications software provider, COA Solutions (www.coasolutions.com), announces the launch of COA Solutions On Demand. This On Demand service delivers business applications as managed and bureau services, addressing market requirements for more flexible ways to adopt and run software.

Based at COA Solutions’ Bridgwater facility, COA Solutions On Demand acts as an extension of an organisation’s business, delivering the infrastructure and skills it requires to make the most of its software applications. With COA Solutions managing and supporting its applications, an organisation can focus resources on its core business.

Supporting clients in both the UK public and private service sectors,

COA Solutions On Demand allows organisations to select the services which best suit their requirements. This could include a full managed service for all financial and human capital management (HCM) applications or elements such as payslip processing using COA Solutions’ bureau service.

COA Solutions On Demand encompasses the following areas:
• Financial systems
• Human resources (HR)
• Payroll and payroll bureau
• Procurement systems
• Collaborative tools for budgeting and forecasting
• Business Intelligence.

Mark Thompson, Managing Director of COA Solutions, says, “Many organisations just don’t have the time and resources to effectively manage their own business applications. Our On Demand services are ideal for such organisations, providing them with a cost-effective and tailored solution with the reassurance that it is being managed by a highly experienced and dedicated team.”

Benefits of COA Solutions On Demand include the following:
• All hosting infrastructure and software is provided by COA Solutions so that companies can be up and running quickly.
• Cost effective and fixed contract fee allowing for predictable expenditure (critical during challenging economic times).
• Confidence that the company’s financial system, HR and/or payroll needs are being managed by highly trained, dedicated and experienced application and technical professionals. This is key for companies with limited in-house support and those that wish to focus resources on their core business.
• Confidence that On Demand users will always have access to the latest versions of COA Solutions software.
• Scalability – organisations can select the options and levels of On Demand services to fulfil all their business needs.
• Ideal as part of a company’s disaster recovery (DR) plan to ensure data is safeguarded in the event of a catastrophe such as a fire or terrorist bomb. DR services can be provided as part of, or separate to, COA Solutions’ managed service offering.
