“We are thrilled to welcome these new, industry-leading companies to our Integration Partner program,” said Holly Simpson, vice president of Partner Sales at FRx Software. “Together, we can deliver financial reporting and budgeting solutions to give customers the control to effectively manage their business. With more accurate, timely and intelligent financial data at their fingertips, they can remove barriers to success and make informed decisions that drive business growth.”
The FRx Software Integration Partner program is designed to extend the availability of Microsoft®
Business Solutions for Analytics–FRx and Microsoft Business Solutions for Analytics–Forecaster to the midmarket segment and emerging enterprise companies looking to gain tighter control over their financial performance and gain more visibility into the financial health of their organizations. FRx Software Integration Partners are general ledger and ERP solution developers that package FRx and Forecaster with their own products and offer them as additional applications to their product suites.
FRx Software financial analytic applications focus on the unique needs and pains of financial professionals at midmarket segment companies, so Integration Partners can offer analytic solutions specific to their customers’ needs; the Integration Partner doesn’t need to devote scarce resources to developing those specific applications itself. Likewise, joint customers can be confident their financial reports and resulting forecasts are timely and accurate, giving decision-makers a comprehensive view into their business. Partnering with FRx Software is a tremendous business opportunity because of the company’s strong brand recognition and the substantial need in the market segment for more robust financial analytic applications.
