APS Secure Prestigious  Contract

Advanced Professional Solutions (APS) has announced that its Practice Management suite, Advance PM, has been selected by Chantrey Vellacott DFK to replace the firm’s current practice management application.

Chantrey Vellacott DFK is one of the UK’s longest established accounting practices, and one of the top 25 firms in the country. This represents another significant achievement for APS and further strengthens its position as the leading vendor in the top tier UK professional services sector.

Miles Hewitt-Boorman, IT Partner for Chantrey Vellacott, highlighted the rationale behind the decision to migrate from its incumbent practice management solution to the application provided by APS, “There were two key factors in our decision to migrate to the APS practice management suite.

Firstly, APS is the only solution provider to offer a fully integrated and future proof suite of practice management technologies that will serve our ever growing needs. Secondly, Brian Coventry and his team place huge emphasis on developing meaningful, two way relationships with clients. We made a very careful choice in selecting APS as we felt that the latter of these two criteria would be an absolutely vital factor in supporting our long term strategic development as a business.”

Brian Coventry, Managing Director for APS - Europe commented, “This announcement is the result of over a year of planning and detailed business analysis and will see Chantrey Vellacott deploy the Advance Practice Management, Advance CRM, Worksite Document Management and Advance Business Process Automation modules. We are delighted to have been selected to play such a key role in the long term strategic development of the practice. As an organisation, we see ourselves as an extension of our client’s business and this is another great opportunity for APS to work with one of the UK’s leading accountancy firms.”

Having also recently been awarded the prestigious industry accolade of Practice Management Software of the year by Accountancy Age, this announcement will be seen by many within the industry as a further endorsement of Advanced Professional Solutions’ focus on top tier accountancy firms and the ‘vendor of choice’ to national and multinational accountancy practices.
