What benefits are you getting from using the Agresso ERP system?
MD: Because we’ve got a locally controlled system, certainly the Agresso system is at least as good as anything else out there on the market. But, I think if you were to ask our clients, the major advantage that we have is that it’s a locally controlled and tailorable situation that can be adjusted to suit their particular needs. One of the biggest needs in the NHS is the continual organisational upheaval that takes place, the flexibility that Agresso has given us over the last ten years to adjust to all the various organisational changes that have occurred from the move from Primary Care Group into Primary Care Trust, and the creation of Foundation Trusts. We’ve been able to adapt to change because we’ve been using the Agresso system and we’ve got local control over it. We can sit down with the clients and establish what their needs are, and work together with them to actually develop the system in their best interests.
