  • Why should I choose Advanced's Financial Management software?

    Financials equips your teams with the features they need to support your organisation as it grows, eliminating the costly requirement of upgrading systems. With strong integration capabilities and extensive sector and financial management experience, Advanced is a valued partner. In addition, the combination of a first-rate financial management, simplified in the unique MyWorkplace (MWP) platform, propels productivity, time efficiency and usability. Proving instant access to financial data to drive business strategy and decision making, combining tasks and jobs all in one dashboard to drive efficiency and insight.

  • What are the advantages of using Cloud-based financial management software?

    Cloud technology enables remote access, ensuring you can access financial data from any place at any time. This has been a crucial characteristic for businesses since the pandemic, with more people working from home. Cloud-based financial management software also makes sensitive data more secure, as it’s stored on offsite servers. And there’s reduced risk of data loss or misplacement (which can occur with physical documents). Cloud systems are often offered via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model, which reduces hefty upfront costs and eliminates nasty financial surprises (as upgrades and support are included).

  • What are the benefits of integrating document management software and financial management software?

    The processing of supplier invoices can be extremely time-consuming and expensive. Additionally, delays can result in reduced supplier discounts and late payment penalties. Our software automates and streamlines the supplier invoicing process, ensuring financial documents are stored in a secure, centralised, and accessible repository.

  • How secure is my data when using Cloud-based financial management software?

    Advanced's Financials software is based on Amazon Web Services, which is one of the most trusted Cloud platforms globally. Full disaster recovery is provided, with 24/7 system availability and 99% software uptime.

  • Why do I need a SaaS-based financial management solution?

    Moving to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model means you pay a single monthly fee for your product, support, account management, and services. All upgrades and enhancements are applied to the product in real time (and are included with your monthly subscription). As a result, you won’t be hit with any scary upgrade costs.

  • When is the best time to switch to Cloud-based financial management software?

    As soon as possible, in order to keep up with competitors. Recent years have shown Cloud technology is now a necessity rather than a luxury for businesses that want to remain agile and adaptable. Cloud adoption provides a strong return on investment and cost-effectiveness in the long run, and reduces the maintenance costs associated with on-premise solutions.
