relentless pursuit of new methods to transform software platforms and process for accounting firms

Chantrey Vellacott had a long and well established business relationship with APS. So when the Firm initiated a strategic business transformation plan, a critical part of this was the identification and purchase of an appropriate Client Relationship Management system, to which Symphony became our natural choice. To hit our key objectives in the project we required complete compatibility with our Practice Management System, along with a consistent data collection, management and reporting capability. This then allowed us as part of the bigger strategy to put in place a robust framework to introduce and deliver clear sales processes across the firm. The full development of our customised version of Symphony was challenging, but the journey was made seamless by our professional working partnership with Symphony - APS.

Over the last sixteen years we have relied on Symphony to be a knowledgeable, flexible and valuable sounding board, acting as a catalyst for many of our investment decisions. Our recent strategy workshop, facilitated by Brian Coventry, enabled us to align our IT strategy directly with our business development strategy, setting both context and prioritisation for all stakeholders within the business to understand.
