Cloud9 delivers fully functional ERP business outcomes in a fraction of expected time at a fraction of expected cost to rapidly improve your competitiveness and drive shareholder value. Cloud9 Lean ERP connects people and data across the enterprise … automating and completing all operational and financial transactions in real time to give you full control and enhanced customer service capability. Whether you’re a CIO, CFO or CEO of a larger enterprise or the FD, MD, Owner or Investor in a smaller business … the probability is your organization is now facing tougher times than ever before ... with the need to deliver more from less at the core of most activity. However the other strong mantra that we also hear is 'looking after your customer is more important now than ever to increase competitive advantage and profitability'. So - who’s right..? Aren’t these agendas at odds with each other..? Can you really deliver better customer service and reduce costs at the same time..? Even if promised, doesn’t such revolution not always first involve heavy upfront investment in expensive new systems..? And does the business have the time available to fulfill such a project turnaround..? The business challenge is well beyond what accounting software to choose or how easy it is to use. Consolidating your financial and operating position using outdated, inefficient and under-integrated spreadsheet based systems to tie in data from multiple company systems no longer works when there's ever increasing pressure to meet ever shortening timescales and ever increasing demands for transparency. What’s the answer? Cloud9 Lean Business ERP. Pay-as-you-Grow software service. No upfront Capital.
