2025 is off to a strong start as FinanSys proudly announces Infor’s first SunSystems Cloud deal of the year.
This milestone deal is with ScreenSkills, the UK’s dedicated skills body for the screen industries.
This partnership continues a journey of collaboration between FinanSys and ScreenSkills that began in 2019, demonstrating ScreenSkills’ commitment to innovation and operational excellence.
A Landmark Deal for 2025
This marks Infor’s first SunSystems Cloud deal of 2025, setting a strong tone for the year ahead.
As the inaugural SunSystems Cloud partnership of the year, it showcases FinanSys’ leadership in delivering innovative financial solutions.
The transition to SunSystems Cloud reflects the growing demand for advanced, scalable, and secure SaaS solutions that empower organisations to stay ahead in a competitive landscape.
A Longstanding Partnership
ScreenSkills is a long-standing user of Infor SunSystems and has been a valued FinanSys customer since 2019, benefiting from industry-leading expertise in financial and business management solutions.
The screen-based creative skills organisation’s relationship with FinanSys began with an upgrade from SunSystems 5.4 to 6. You can read about that SunSystems upgrade case study here.
But it didn’t stop with the successful upgrade and the subsequent benefits – the organisation later implemented UniFi, a powerful automation platform from FinanSys, to modernise and automate their procurement and approval processes, amongst other use cases. Check out the case study here.
This strong foundation has set the stage for their latest move to SunSystems Cloud, which ensures they remain ahead of the curve.
Why SunSystems Cloud?
With SunSystems version 6.3 reaching end-of-life, ScreenSkills evaluated their options and chose to continue with FinanSys and SunSystems.
SunSystems Cloud is a powerful and secure multi-tenant SaaS platform designed to help organisations efficiently manage their financial operations and data.
Upgrading to SunSystems Cloud is a forward-thinking decision driven by several key benefits:
- Automatic Monthly Updates: SunSystems Cloud comes with automated monthly scheduled updates. With this, ScreenSkills will always be on the latest version of SunSystems with regular patches, bug fixes, database upgrades, and the latest features that will be automatically applied in the background.
- Access to 3 Servers: With SunSystems Cloud, ScreenSkills now has access to three servers, ensuring that future development won’t impact users in a live environment.
- 24/7 Cloud Maintenance and Support: With SunSystems Cloud, ScreenSkills’ cloud environment is being maintained and supported 24/7 by a team of experts.
- Access to All SunSystems Modules for One Price: In previous versions, customers only received the core system upon purchasing SunSystems, and if they required additional modules, they had to pay for them separately. However, with SunSystems Cloud, all modules are included in one price.
- Cost-Effectiveness: ScreenSkills will also enjoy lower administrative overheads and reduced IT burden due to the SaaS solution.
This move solidifies the organisation’s position as a leader in embracing efficient, future-ready technologies.
Building on Success
ScreenSkills’ decision to upgrade reflects the trust they’ve placed in FinanSys’ solutions and services over the years. By transitioning to SunSystems Cloud, they’re investing in a system that evolves with their needs, ensuring they can focus on their mission to support the screen industry.
FinanSys is excited to continue supporting ScreenSkills with a solution that delivers both immediate and long-term value.
