Take your existing ERP system to new levels.

As well as being powerful accounting applications in their own right, FinancialForce Accounting and FinancialForce Billing are also extremely versatile solutions for organizations that wish to extend or supplement (rather than replace) existing finance or ERP systems:

• For salesforce.com customers that need to bridge the “process gap” between Salesforce CRM and their other financials or ERP systems. FinancialForce applications deliver free-of-charge, out-of-the box pre-integration with Salesforce CRM to offer the best of both worlds for improved accounting business processes – enabling streamlined collection and delivery of accounting data:
  • from sales and service activities in Salesforce CRM
  • into any other financials or ERP systems
  Our flexible integration capabilities make it much easier to customize and use to support your processes, avoiding the need: to rekey data; for cumbersome manual systems; or for complex and costly integration.

• For any organization that needs to bridge the “deployment gap” – with more agile, cost-effective alternatives to inflexible financials or ERP systems, whether you need:
  • a complete multi-everything, on-demand global accounting solution to replace your existing system, or
  • a more practical application to cover the accounting requirements of specific business units or territories (for example new, smaller or remote parts of your operation), which integrates seamlessly with your main system for group accounting and reporting

Systems should support your strategy – not dictate it!

Even otherwise-effective systems can make you a victim of their size and complexity; creating barriers to process improvement and business expansion. Unfortunately – unlike the change-embracing solutions of Agresso and CODA – most enterprise-level ERP or finance systems struggle to accommodate new or changed requirements, without additional (expensive) development work. It can often be just too costly and time consuming to provide the integration and customization to support smaller teams or specific operational requirements. As a result, your teams' basic day-to-day processes and procedures have to be supported by inefficient work-arounds and manual systems, complicated spreadsheets and repeated rekeying of data that should really be shared automatically across your systems.

Extending your finance system – a more flexible approach to business requirements

FinancialForce Accounting is proving very popular with organizations that want a better, more flexible, on-demand solution for all of their accounting (whether that means replacing smaller or even enterprise-level systems). However, our “cloud accounting” approach is also an extremely attractive option, if replacing your existing system is out of the question but you still need better support for key finance processes (e.g. Billing) or specific parts of the operation.

Instead of the high up-front costs for hardware, software licensing, setup and maintenance, FinancialForce applications offer an affordable “pay-as-you-go” subscription model that is quick to implement, accessible anywhere, delivers enterprise-quality tools and scales to suit any size of team.

Choose a better-integrated application

When choosing between software as a service (SaaS) accounting providers, integration is another important factor to consider. The integration capabilities of FinancialForce applications are another important advantage, because an on-demand accounting solution will not only need to work well with process-focused applications (such as Salesforce CRM) but also integrate seamlessly with your main finance system for group accounting and reporting.

• FinancialForce applications are the only ones that offer free-of-charge, seamless pre-integration with Salesforce CRM – designed, built and delivered on the same shared “platform-as-a-service”, for seamless working across them.
• CODA (the expert team behind FinancialForce.com) has a 30-year track record of successful implementations and integrations; creating and delivering applications specifically designed for interoperability with customers’ other business systems.
