9th December 2009 – Business applications software provider, COA Solutions (www.coasolutions.com), today announces a partnership with independent software solutions provider, Software Europe Ltd (www.software-europe.co.uk). COA Solutions will now be able to provide its NHS customers with Software Europe’s leading online employee expenses management system, expenses2010. Tailored towards the needs of NHS organisations, expenses2010 enables greater control over staff expenses, complementing COA Solutions’ comprehensive suite of business applications.
expenses2010 is an easy-to-use and intuitive expenses management solution, enabling staff to input their travel and subsistence expense claims online. Developed in partnership with the NHS, expenses2010 meets the complex needs of NHS organisations including aiding compliance with Agenda for Change. For example, the solution ensures staff are claiming what they are entitled to inline with the relevant Agenda for Change policy. Improved transparency of employee expenses, more streamlined expense management processes and reduced costs are just some of the many benefits NHS organisations achieve by using expenses2010.
As expenses2010 seamlessly interfaces with the Electronic Staff Record (ESR), this removes the need to re-key and manually check data, leading to approximately 60% back office efficiency savings. Furthermore the bi-directional ESR interface, automatically synchronises personnel details between the two systems, eliminating the need for manual administration.
Peter Leigh, Health Sector Sales Manager from COA Solutions, says, “At a time when the NHS is bracing itself for significant budget cuts, it’s vital for NHS organisations to more closely monitor expenditure whilst cutting costs. This web-based employee expense management system provides our NHS customers with an accurate, reliable and effective means of managing staff expenses whilst delivering significant back office efficiency savings.”
Neil Everatt, Managing Director from Software Europe, comments, “With the company’s strong foothold in the UK business applications software industry and its excellent understanding of the NHS market, we’re delighted to be partnering with COA Solutions. Our employee expense management system perfectly complements COA Solutions’ applications suite, providing NHS organisations with a comprehensive portfolio of ‘best of breed’ software products from a single supplier.”
