AUCB becomes Enhanced

Arts University College Bournemouth finance software

The Accounts system at the Arts University College at Bournemouth (AUCB) is being 'Enhanced' after the leading technology for business provider won the tender to supply the AUCB with an award winning finance software package.

The tender for a new finance package was put forward after the University College decided its current system had reached the maximum potential, and, with the continued growth of the University College, there was a need for a replacement that would give the level of required reporting in addition to handling the increased volume of transactions in finance.

Enhanced were chosen as they demonstrated not only an excellent understanding of the requirements, but they were also able to demonstrate that their proposed solution was particularly appropriate to the needs of the University College, introducing a team of committed individuals who work together closely to resolve any problems.

Enhanced put together a tender that took into account the fact that the University College required a system of the right calibre that was highly regarded; had the ability to be scalable to handle the large volume of transactions that the University College deals with; and also had the ability to be rolled out around the different sections within the University College if required.

They choose Access Dimensions business and accounting software, an award winning mid-range product - written by the UK’s largest business and accounting software house - to cover the needs of the University College. In addition, they added Access FocalPoint, an integrated web enabled aspect of Dimensions which allows external users to the accounts system to utilise a broad range of standard business features.

As a result of the new software, the University College will ultimately have a much tighter control over its accounting functions - faster processing of information; a safer, more secure system and more timely reporting which can be made easily available to budget holders outside of the accounts department. It will have a system that can handle significant growth in the accounts department and the University College itself.

The implementation of the software package began in May 2009, with the system due to go live in August 2009. Simon White, Managing Director of Enhanced commented "Enhanced are delighted to be working with the Arts University College at Bournemouth. We were up against tough competition and to have won the account is a great accolade. As a local company we are committed to giving the University College our total support and commitment."
