We are delighted to announce that Opera 3 has been shortlisted in 2 categories in the Software Satisfaction Awards 2011.  The categories are:

• Accounting and Finance
• Payroll and HR

About the Awards

In 2006, the inaugural 'Business Software Satisfaction Awards' were issued to vendors of accounting and tax software applications. In 2007 the Awards expanded to cover the business disciplines of HR, training, CRM and customer management, in addition to accounting and finance. In 2008, the user survey for the Software Satisfaction Awards attracted over 5,900 votes, nearly three times the volume of the previous year.

In 2009, over 8,100 business software users took part in the survey – making the Software Satisfaction Awards one of the UK’s largest individual pieces of business opinion research.

In 2010, at the request of many entrants from previous years, we added greater rigour to the data collection, and also encouraged qualitative feedback from end-users to add even more depth to the awards survey.

In 2011, we've joined forces with Intellect, who have 780 software members and are the UKs largest technology association. Intellect will be taking on all event logistics and research for this year’s awards, adding further credibility and reach to the event.

The group behind Gower Business Systems Comms Partner was named the 'Best Telecommunications PLC' at the recent Stock Market Awards.  Telecoms Plus, which owns TML, saw off competition from BT and Vodafone to win the prestigious award.  This follows the company's previous success in being named 'PLC of the Year' at the PLC awards in 2009.

Speaking at the event, group Chief Executive, Andrew Lindsay, said, 'This award tops off another great year.  With the continuing positive progress being demonstrated by the business, our ficis on delivering consistently good value combined with exceptional levels of customer service, places usi n a strong position to maintain this momentum.'

Richard Seddon, TML Sales Director, said, 'This award shows yet again why our resellers, and our customers, can have complete confidence in TML.  Being part of an award winning financially solid group gives us the strength to offer the deals, service and security that smaller providers cannot.  It's also a great achievement to beat bigger companies such as BT and Vodafone'.

The next generation of Opera, Pegasus’ flagship solution, combines enterprise-wide functionality with flexibility and choice  

Pegasus Software, a leading supplier of accounting and business software for SMEs, today announced the launch of Opera 3, the next generation of its flagship Opera software.  The integrated solution encompasses financials; supply chain management; payroll & HR; business intelligent tools; CRM; service & helpdesk management; document management; construction; and manufacturing, facilitating a unified view of the organisation from every angle, and delivering management information to drive improved decision making.    

Opera 3 gives partners three ways to purchase, including rental, that offers flexibility in terms of customer delivery; either on-premise, Software as a Service (SaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS).  In addition, the solution contains applications and features which enable it to be configured to specific requirements, and adapted as these requirements evolve.

“As market conditions remain tough, SMEs simply cannot afford the resource required to manage a myriad of disparate IT systems,” comments Stuart Anderson, Operations Director at Pegasus Software.  Through adopting one easy to use solution which integrates all departments and functions across an organisation, slicker processes and quicker, more informed decision making can be facilitated, without the need for surplus IT resource.”

“In the past, such solutions had a reputation for being inflexible, but Opera 3 has been built upon the principles of flexibility and choice, enabling SMEs to select their preferred applications against their chosen delivery and payment option, and allowing them to configure the solution to their precise requirements.”
