Synergy Health plc chooses IFS Applications for international £1.3
million deal

Synergy Health plc (Synergy) has chosen IFS, the global enterprise
applications company, to supply and implement its financial management
software across its entire business. IFS Applications will be rolled out
in 102 sites across 10 countries from the UK to Malaysia, the US and
France. The deal was communicated anonymously July 12th 2011.

Headquartered in the UK, Synergy is a world-leading, multi-national
supplier of outsourced support services to the healthcare market in
Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

IFS Applications will enable Synergy to reduce overall costs and improve
the efficiency of its global finance and procurement departments, by
providing greater financial visibility, automating reporting, enhancing
integration with other applications, and providing economies of scale.
Synergy will also benefit from the rich functionality of IFS
Applications. For example, employees will for the first time be able to
compare multi-currency transactions with just one click of their mouse.

Synergy has grown rapidly in the last decade, resulting in the company
running a range of disparate financial systems. Synergy chose IFS
because of the functionality it offers, and the deep knowledge and
expertise of its consultants. Sara Lloyd, finance project manager at
Synergy, comments: “In terms of product functionality, IFS was
definitely top of our shortlist and we liked their approach. The IFS
team demonstrated a good understanding of our business and related
issues. We like the fact that IFS has the capability to implement the
system in every country using its own consultants, ensuring consistency
in standards. We also benefit from having just one simple contract for
over 1,000 users at 102 sites.”

Paul Massey, managing director at IFS Europe West said: “Synergy is a
rapidly growing company that requires agile, scalable, intuitive
business applications that will enable it to take advantage of its size
and reach, therefore IFS Applications is an intelligent choice. IFS has
a proven track record of successful implementations within large
multinational organisations, which offers peace of mind that the system
will be implemented and maintained by an experienced team of IFS
consultants.”

Implementation of the system will begin in the autumn, with the first
sites going live in the second quarter of 2012.
