“Local business in Northern Ireland is being backed by excellent supports from Invest NI and we have been experiencing a lot of interest in the market over the last year,” said Willie Fitzgerald, sales manager at Simply Dynamics.
“The demand has been spread across a wide range of industries, including the food sector, fuel distributors, retail, transport and manufacturing.
“The decision to invest in an ERP system is a very strategic one and businesses want a partner that not only provides the right system but can get to the core of the business and understand its customers, processes, multiple divisions and functions.
“Focusing on one solution has enabled us to build a strong team of ERP experts that can provide the highest levels of advice and support to business of all sizes,” Fitzgerald said.
