Member since:12/15/2005

Founded in 1980, Agresso is a global leader of fully-integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions for organizations in the public sector and professional services sectors with budgets or revenues between $50 million and $1 billion (USD). Its ERP solution, Agresso Business World, is deployed globally in over 2,400 companies and organizations in 100 countries.

Agresso is a subsidiary of Netherlands-based Unit 4 Agresso (Dutch Stock Exchange EURONET-U4AGR), a $450 million (USD) provider of business software and security software, whose flagship product, Agresso Business World, accounts for over half of Unit 4 Agresso's annual revenue.

Agresso Business World, a role-based, Web services, and service-oriented architecture (SOA) solution, includes financial management, procurement management, human resources and payroll, project costing and billing, reporting and analytics, and business process automation solutions. Its cutting-edge “post-implementation agility” makes it ideal for evolving organizations that need to alter ERP system setup in response to change without the stress and high costs associated with ongoing ERP re-architecting. The solution is unique due to its unusually tight coupling of data management (information warehouse), process modeling (business processes), and information delivery (reporting and analytics). A single change made to an organization’s data or business processes is reflected throughout the solution.
