Queensland’s department of education and training is to deploy a finance system from business information management solutions vendor, Agresso Australia, to be rolled out to 1,320 of the state’s schools.

Agresso has won a contract with the department to trial its Business World finance system, after which the system will be rolled out to state schools through the government’s OneSchool project.

Upon successful completion of the trial, the Agresso Finance system will potentially be rolled out to all 1320 state schools in Queensland.

Agresso spokesman, Bruce Wood, says the company’s Business World solution is particularly suited to public sector and people-centric organisations with its “deep understanding of their inherent business challenges and opportunities.”

According to Wood, it provides organisations with the “agility necessary to respond to business change long after the initial implementation is complete, delivering a fully-integrated ERP solution that withstands the test of time.”

“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 modelling (Business Processes) and information delivery (Reporting and Analytics),” and, Wood added  “a single change made to an organisation's data or business processes is reflected throughout the solution.”
