How to become a Partner
The Cashbook solution has been aligned with a number of strategic organizations that best provide an avenue for the distribution and expansion of our product portfolio.
Our vision is to partner with dynamic, local and global organizations that can best serve our growth strategy into the future in selected markets. These markets include:
- ERP solution and service providers across the following platforms: BPCS, BaaN, Intentia, JD Edwards, MAPICS, MFG-PRO, Lawson, Oracle, PeopleSoft, PRMS and SAP.
- Financial Advisors and Auditors
- Information Technology Systems Integrators
- Management Consultants
- User Groups & Communities
The Cashbook partnering process is simple and straightforward. It involves an initial sharing of information to determine areas in common. If business value can be generated by cooperating together we will draw up a draft Partnership Agreement and joint Business Plan. Once the Partnership Agreement is in place we can start doing business together. Some of our business partners today include:
SSA Global (now Infor)
Infor (now owner of SSA Global) is a leading provider of enterprise solutions for process manufacturing, discrete manufacturing, consumer, services and public companies worldwide. Infor delivers integrated e-business solutions including business intelligence, customer relationship management (CRM) and supply chain management (SCM) applications. Before its acquisition by Infor, SSA Global had 121 worldwide offices in 45 countries servicing market-leading companies with locations in more than 90 countries. Originally founded in 1981, SSA Global has implemented over 18,000 implementations across the globe. SAI products have been integrated with SSA systems since the formation of our company in 1992. In particular, our expertise in bringing to market products that provide real solutions for Finance and IT managers and users alike is unrivalled in the BPCS community today. Our relationship with SSA was established back in 1994 when we signed a strategic alliance agreement to be the preferred supplier of cash management and electronic banking solutions for BPCS customers. Over the last 13 years, SSA and SAI worked together to introduce our products to in excess of 100 international blue chip organizations and corporations. In July of 2003, SSA and SAI made their alliance stronger in the form of a new partnership agreement. Our close relationship will ensure that SSA users everywhere will continue to have the opportunity to optimise key finance functions through the adoption of our multi-modular applications.
SSA also purchased Cashbook in December 2003 for internal use. In October 2006 Infor subsequently purchased Cashbook Globally for internal use also.
Oracle
ORACLE CORPORATION is one of the world’s major companies developing database management systems, ERP, CRM and supply chain management solutions. It is the second largest enterprise software company in the world after SAP. Oracle was founded in 1977 and today has offices in 145 countries and employs 50,000 people globally. Part of Oracle's early success was due to the fact that they used the C programming language to implement their products such that they could be ported to different operating systems (most of which support C). This gave them an advantage over companies that used operating system specific languages. Oracle wrote the first C compiler for the IBM mainframe platform in order to be able to port to that platform. J.D. Edwards, also called JDE, was founded in 1977 in Denver, Colorado. The company made its name building accounting software for IBM minicomputers, beginning with the System /34 and System /36, moving to the System /38 in the mid 1980’s and latterly the AS400 and System I. Initially, their main AS400 offering was called JD Edwards World Software and is popularly called World. In 1996, JDE launched a client server version of their software called One World, also referred to as Enterprise One. JDE was bought out by PeopleSoft in 2003. PeopleSoft in turn was acquired by Oracle in 2005.
Oracle’s global HQ is in California. The JDE business is headquartered in Denver, CO.
Cforia
Cforia Software, Inc. (Cash Flow Optimized, Real-time Information Access) develops solutions that enhance cash flow management and is the leading provider of credit, collections and deductions software designed specifically for manufacturers and distributors. Headquartered in California, USA, Cforia’s software products extend the functionality of accounting systems like SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards. Cforia’s customers are found in North America and Europe. Cforia was founded in 2001 by technology veterans with extensive experience in multiple ERP applications on diverse technology platforms. One area that ERP applications fail to optimize are the workflows around accounts receivable. Cforia have filled that gap. Since the launch of Cforia's flagship product, MC2 - Managing Credit and Collections, billions of dollars in receivables are now managed in an efficient, effective manner, with the project's ROI delivered within the first year. From the inception of demand to receipt of payment, Cforia’s products deliver new financial controls and efficiency tools that improve cash flow and reduce bad debt. Cforia moves accounts receivable from survival mode, with outdated tools and conflicting priorities, to the thriving pulse of a more profitable enterprise. Cforia’s flag-ship application, MC2, has been named one of the top 10 credit and collections applications worldwide by Collection Advisor Magazine.
In July 2007, SAI announced a strategic global partnership agreement with Cforia.
