| The ERP Market's definition of Agility |
Agresso is a global leader of fully-integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions for companies in the professional services
and public sector. With more than 20 years experience and a history showcasing tens of thousands of successful deployments in
more than 100 countries, the company's Agresso Business World® solution has more than a million users worldwide. Its revenue
positions the company as one of the top five ERP providers in its market.
Agresso Business World provides organisations with the agility necessary to respond to business change long after the initial
implementation is complete, delivering an ERP solution that withstands the test of time... beautifully. The solution has been touted
by industry analysts as unique among ERP competitors due to its unusually tight coupling of data management (Information
Warehouse), process modeling (Business Processes) and information delivery (Analytics/Reporting). A single change made to your
organisation's data or business processes is reflected throughout the solution. |

Agresso's applications have been built from the ground up and are not the result of acquisitions of disparate products and
technologies. The information warehouse, business process model and analytics/reporting delivery models are inextricably linked in
a virtual cycle.
For example, CEOs, CFOs and COOs orchestrating a new business process will automatically leverage the information warehouse and
reporting capabilities. Similarly, the addition of new data is immediately transferred to established business processes and
analytics. Finally, new analysis requirements are immediately channeled directly into the organisation's business and process
context. |
| |
| The inherent weaving of these three components allows companies' core back and front-office infrastructure to move in lockstep
accommodating unlimited change, over time. |

ERP and the CxO...The Compromise Ends Here
"The cycle of invest, upgrade, and disgust by end-users has got to change and the business world is ready and willing to accept
alternatives to expense and undervalued investments that they have made in business applications technology. In many cases, the
Chief Financial Officer, has morphed into a role of Chief Focus Officer, with the twin roles of enterprise change agent and business
redirect maven. Many are optimistic that they can change the paradigm, but lack the tools to really move the enterprise forward.
Worse, they face techno-speak intentional or unintentional from the very same vendors that should provide those tools." |
| |
| Over the last 25 years, the geo-political situation, capital markets and businesses globally have changed in innumerable ways.
Today, companies want the ability to contract resources globally, enter new markets with ease and wring every saving possible by
changing business processes and operations. However, their current ERP infrastructure supports a business environment more
suited to the 1980s than the fast-moving new millennium. |
| |
| As a result, public and private sector organisations worldwide have been saddled with high costs of ownership as they seek to
maintain the integrity of their information systems when everything around them is changing. |
| |
| Agresso IS Different |
| |
| Information management and processing efficiency do not have to be trade-offs. The answer lies in a paradigm shift ...away from
the twin pillars of the transaction world and information world occupied by traditional ERP systems ... to a simplified but coherent
architecture. Agresso offers a Business Management System that combines these worlds without compromise. |
| |
| Businesses Living IN Change |
| |
| Agresso is the ERP Market's Definition of Agility and the leader in a new multi-billion dollar cross-vertical niche emerging worldwide
that it calls "BLINC" Businesses Living IN Change. These post-millennium businesses, largely in Agresso's "sweet spot" services
segment, are characterised by almost frenetic levels of dynamic business change - requiring post-implementation agility that cannot
be accommodated by the perennial ERP solution giants. |
| |
| Today, Agresso's unique underpinning architecture is being enjoyed by thousands of BLINC organisations. Agresso is focused on
correcting the CxO's longstanding and expensive re-architect-or-die assumptions promoted by the ERP leaders. Their lack of postimplementation
agility is cutting deep into corporate margins. Agresso is ERP...with NO Expiration Date™. |

Open Standards
The Agresso technology platform uses open standards and allows CIO's to leverage their preferred choice of popular and readily
available industry components. This liberates organisations from being locked into technology solutions that are fashionable one
day and out of favor the next. |
| |
| SOA |
| |
| Agresso offers a robust Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The technology platform leverages popular and readily available
industry and open standards in relation to databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL). It also supports a smart (rich client)
as well as a web (thin client) or a mixture of the two. Business logic is maintained centrally and separated from the user interface so
that web clients are updated and without manual intervention. The web client is highly configurable allowing a wide range of self
service possibilities. |
| |
| The technical architecture is compliant across a broad range of industry standards for interfacing, interoperability and integration.
Increasingly, additional capabilities are provided via web services that simplify integration with other systems and provide the
groundwork for future developments. By using common components, the technical platform fits readily into almost any IT strategy
and can be relied upon to be cost effective, robust and scalable. |
