Morris said that, in the UK, Scope was buying an Integra e-procurement solution to raise orders online at its London head office and 370 shops across England and Wales.

“It will also use the OCR (optical character recognition) module to scan invoices, eliminate errors and speed the approval process. The charity expects savings of £500,000 over five years, as well as financial benefits arising from improved relationships with suppliers.”

And, Morris said the agreement with Spectrum, one of the UK’s largest housing associations with 16,000 properties in the south of England, included the full Integra financial suite plus the business intelligence and OCR modules for its seven offices, with the Web-based solutions allowing users to raise purchase orders and access financial data to control invoices, payments and costs.

“These deals demonstrate that our financial solutions business is gaining traction with a wider, global customer base against other competing financial solutions.”

“We identified public sector markets as being particularly suitable for our Integra suite of solutions, and it’s pleasing to see these efforts are already paying off.”

Morris said iSOFT Business Solutions was unique among iSOFT businesses in selling outside healthcare markets.
