LONDON, UK – 27 June 2007. Sapphire today announced a new business partnership with Proactis, to provide customers with a complete spend control and procurement system that integrates with their financial accounting solution.

Sapphire specialise in financial accounting and business management solutions for the small-to-mid market, are the market leading resellers for SunSystems and the leading Gold Partner for the SAP SMB Solutions – SAP All-in-One and SAP Business One.

Proactis Group is a specialist in Spend Control software that helps organisations take control of costs and streamline procurement. A web-based solution, Proactis Spend Control is user-friendly, highly customisable and has strong integration links to the SunSystems and SAP applications.

Ian Caswell, Managing Director at Sapphire says “We are very excited about this new partnership which will enable us to provide our customers an even more complete service in gaining control over expenditure. We also see this new venture as opening up a market for additional sales for Sapphire; with Proactis Spend Control we have a product fit for additional markets that until now we have had no solution for.”

He goes on to say “It is also noticeable that customer activity surrounding spend control is increasing - until relatively recently people were interested in finding out about what was available, whereas now they are ready to invest. One of the benefits of Proactis Spend Control is that accounts staff are no longer bogged down in paper, which can only be a good thing from both an organisational and environmental stand point.”

Mark McCarthy, General Manager (EMEA) at Proactis adds “Sapphire is an exciting addition to the Proactis channel, extending our reach into the SunSystems community as well as across each of the major SAP platforms. Sapphire’s existing expertise in this arena means that its clients can start enjoying the benefits of Proactis Spend Control right away, without the usual ramp-up period that is necessary with a new partnership.”
