Over time, this comprehensive financial ERP has gone through numerous enhancements and upgrades that have added a series of relevant features to it.

This includes the ability to be integrated with Infor OS, a modern, cloud-based operating system that allows users to tap into a wide range of next-gen applications for the purpose of enhancing their productivity by automating routine tasks and processes.

With SunSystems Cloud coming, it is an exciting time for users as this major version offers even more exciting features to enable them to manage their financials better.

Let’s look at the benefits you’d get from SunSystems 7 SaaS.

1. Enjoy the advantages of ‘true cloud’ with SunSystems Cloud

Despite the fact that cloud computing has been around for decades, many purported cloud business apps were not designed for it from the start.

Infor SunSystems Cloud SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) is a cloud application. It is built for the cloud from the ground up, giving users an extremely low total cost of ownership (TCO) and superior scalability.

It has a modern, intuitive interface that makes it easier to manage your company’s finances anywhere, anytime from any device.

2. Simplify processes with Infor OS

Infor OS is an operating system that powers the modern enterprise. It brings together core business functions into modules that can be implemented quickly and used to create customised workflows for critical tasks involving different users in your organisation.

The Infor OS approach brings numerous advantages for users of Infor SunSystems.

For one, this makes building simple applications easier than ever before. Whether you are looking for a mobile app to track your materials or an interface that helps your business run smoothly, the software is available to build it quickly.

You can also put together existing modules into a customised app that automates the entire process. And then there is Infor Ming.le for designing and building robust, enterprise-grade applications with no coding required.

3. Ensure real-time visibility of financial and non-financial information

Infor SunSystems is designed to give organisations a complete picture of their finances through its modern architecture.

This means users can track their financials in real-time, which is especially useful for closely monitored processes like inventory management. It also ensures that everyone involved in managing finances across the organisation has access to critical information whenever they need it.

With built-in analytics that are easy to access and track, you’d always know where things stand.

4. Ensure compliance and reduce risk

Infor SunSystems helps you manage all your accounting processes in a way that reduces risks and ensures compliance. This is because the software ensures data security, traceability of transactions and data integrity among other things with its modern architecture.

The cloud version is an extremely agile solution that enables you to add new modules to meet changing requirements or implement them immediately in a supported environment.

5. Boost productivity through greater efficiency

Infor SunSystems is designed to help your business become more efficient by simplifying and streamlining processes, getting rid of unnecessary paperwork and helping you achieve full visibility of your finances from anywhere at any time.

The software also enables you to integrate your business systems so that critical functions are available in one place. This helps you manage all aspects of your business from sales, procurement, inventory management and delivery to payment processing, accounting and reporting with ease.

6. Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)

SunSystems 7 is a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solution that ensures maximum productivity and effectiveness with a TCO that is one of the lowest in the market.

This lowers your cost of ownership significantly because you pay only for what you use and avoid upfront hardware, software licensing and maintenance costs.

7. Identify opportunities for growth and track performance

With SunSystems at the heart of your business, you can make intelligent decisions quickly using its analytics. You can track everything from overall performance to individual products and suppliers in real-time.

This helps you identify growth opportunities and take prompt, effective action.

8. Increase end-user productivity through streamlined workflows

SunSystems enables users to view applications in a consolidated manner with access to all the information and tasks they need to complete a process.

Unlike other FMS systems, Infor SunSystems uses a simple user interface that is easy and intuitive to navigate and offers access from any device with an internet connection.

This streamlines workflows and boosts productivity significantly. It also keeps users engaged because they can handle their daily tasks quickly without having to switch between systems and applications.

9. Reduce IT costs through ease of use

This accounting software is designed for maximum productivity and flexibility.

This means everyone can contribute irrespective of their technical background or knowledge. As a result, the business gets more done with fewer people and resources.

Also, because it has an open platform that integrates with your current solutions easily and enables you to quickly add new technologies and applications, you can accomplish more at a lower cost.

10. Protect data integrity with advanced security features

The Sun accounting system ensures greater protection for data security, with state-of-the-art security features like 256-bit encryption and user authentication.

The software also has an extremely flexible security structure that helps you control user access and data visibility at the same time.

This enables businesses to manage risk exposure, improve performance and protect IP.

11. Ensure compliance with Industry Standards

Since Infor SunSystems is an industry-specific solution, it already complies with the latest industry standards, making it easier for you to subsequently comply with changes.

12. Expedite consolidation with zero errors

As money flows into and out of your business, accounts are updated automatically within the Sun accounting system to help you achieve up-to-date, accurate financial records.

This helps you track your business performance accurately and avoid errors that can lead to inaccurate or delayed reporting.

With the software, you can easily consolidate data across various business units for more streamlined operations, prompt decision-making and accurate financial reports.

As software that runs a unified ledger (as opposed to the traditional systems which use three separate standard ledgers – accounts receivable, payable and general ledgers) and eliminates redundant processes, SunSystems is a real asset that helps you streamline business operations and achieve greater efficiencies.

In conclusion…

The SunSystems 7 offers the benefits and features that have made it a choice ERP solution for businesses across industries. It seamlessly integrates with your business to enable you to achieve a scalable, unified and single source of truth.

The software is designed for ease of use and offers advanced security features that help protect your data and ensure compliance with industry standards.

All of this helps you boost productivity, reduce costs, improve profitability and increase overall business performance.
