The Business Consulting Branch of GFI Informatique and NEOFI Solutions become partners
The two companies have formed an alliance in order to bring a precise response to the needs of the financial management department in terms of the interoperability of its information systems in a context of payment centralization/SEPA and of cash management optimization.
The Business Consulting Division of GFI Informatique has great expertise in assisting general and financial management departments in all their consulting needs. NEOFI Solutions is a publisher-integrator of solutions for the circulation, optimization and interoperability of financial flows. This partnership pools the expertise of GFI Informatique and NEOFI Solutions around the problems of Cash Management and financial flows, and thus brings a complete offer of accompaniment to the market. From advice to integration, based on high value-added services, this partnership is built on the integration of different financial management solutions using the NEOFI Link platform.
The advantages of the communal offer:
Conceived in response to the priorities of financial management departments, the offer brings together the best of professional and technological expertise in order to guarantee companies:
-
A complete traceability of financial flows, supervision of the strategic stages in the circulation, the putting into place of checks and alerts, security of internal and external cash management exchanges.
-
An integration of financial/accounts business processes, with tasks planned according to schedules, automatic supervision with controllable triggers, task management and multitasking.
-
Within the SEPA project, the possibility for global groups to optimize their cash management and financial supervision, from the needs analysis and the invitation to tender of banking services to the operational implementation. The solution thus increases the reliability of the RIB/BBAN conversion, carries out the XML 20022 format updating, includes dematerialization and traceability functions as well as improving bank reconciliation. This offer relies on an open platform which is adaptive, multifunctional and multidirectional. Olivier SALMON, International Treasurer of the Accor Group described the platform as an "IT signal box" which facilitates the rapid access and the integration of data, and allows non-specialist users to create their own periodic data processing sequences.
For Pascal Gimet, Director of Consulting and Philippe Hélaine, Financial/Accounts/SEPA Director of GFI Informatique, "this partnership makes sense for financial departments seeking a global solution that optimizes cash management, with improvements in the cost of SEPA transactions as well as in terms of traceability, reconciliation and dematerialization. Today more than ever, financial directors need simple, adaptable tools at a reduced cost in order to pilot their cash management and to generate system-wide reports or to trace financial flows in real time."
For Sothon Hua, CEO of NEOFI Solutions, this strategic partnership, with high added value in terms of how the two companies fit together, combines the project management expertise of GFI Informatique with our own flow circulation software package, NEOFI Link. Confronted with the growing needs of companies in terms of interoperability of business processes and office automation, we propose a new approach for the business: functional players take control of their processes. This is an opportunity for financial directors to express themselves, directly translating their needs via a business line orientated integration platform. This platform will allow them to rapidly create and update their processing at an optimized cost."
