New Implementations

With over 20 years experience in the implementation of financial systems, and 18 years specifically in Business World, the consultants of Chapter Consultants Ltd are well placed to provide project management, consultancy, and support to your new Business World implementation. Whether this is a ‘green-field’ site, re-implementation, or creation of a new client, please contact us to provide a quote to deliver your business requirements.

Upgrades

Chapter Consultants Ltd have been involved in dozens of Business World upgrades up to and including the latest version of the software. We have the experience to help reduce and mitigate the risks involved in any upgrade and ensure as smooth as possible a transition to the new version. If you are thinking of upgrading please contact us for a free consultation on how we can help.

New Clients

If your organisation is not structured using multiple legal entities within a single client then setting up a new client can be a daunting task; especially if it has not been done for a number of years. Contact us for advice and guidance on creating a client within an existing environment.

System Performance Improvement

Experience has taught us that a common source of frustration for clients using Business World is poor system performance. Within the constraints of the broader technical architecture, we have experience of significantly improving system performance through database tuning.

Report Writing

Consultants within Chapter have over 18 years of experience writing reports within Business World. Over that time the tools have changed and evolved, but the underlying structure of much of the key data and business requirements have not changed significantly. To that end we can provide a suite of reports that can tweaked to your requirements without ‘re-inventing the wheel’.

Knowledge Transfer

With a background in consultancy and training Dan Farmer is able to work with staff to improve their Business World knowledge and skills. This is an often overlooked part of consultancy but should be at the heart of any work carried out for a client.

Interfaces

Whether you are looking to create a new or redevelop an existing interface into Business World from a range of 3rd party systems, we can help. Chapter have experience of interfacing to SITS (Student Records), HR/Payroll systems, Stock, 3rd party billing systems and many others.

eProcurement

Chapter Consultants Ltd has a experience of implementing eProcurement solutions for a range of organisations, including Loughborough University and Cancer Research UK. Whether you are simply looking to ‘punch-out’ to a supplier marketplace to create and return a shopping basket or full eProcurement to import electronic XML invoices (plus images if required) we can support you.

Planner

The Budgeting tool in Business World is much underused. Contact us if you are thinking of implementing this module, or if you have and don’t feel that you are getting the best from it.

Expenses

The Business World expenses module and associated app can provide significant cost savings with the expenses data captured at source and recorded within Business World.

Budget Books

A relatively new area in Business World but Chapter have experience of implementing Budget Books.

Salary Forecasting

If you are running the Business World Payroll module (or even if you’re not) and need to produce Salary Forecasting figures for Planner contact us. We have designed a solution which may be used to extract Salary Forecasts including anticipated grade increments and allows modelling based on expected pay awards. This can be integrated with Budget Books to allow managers to update forecasts.

Tailored Solutions

On occasion the standard solutions ‘out of the box’ do not meet the needs of the business. Chapter have vast experience of developing customised solutions for businesses to allow them to get the best of the their investment.

SQL

Standard Query Language (SQL) is an often used tool within Business World to manipulate data within various processes such as Sales Invoicing, PO creation, and Transaction Import, as well part of interfaces. Chapter Consultants Ltd can offer expertise in this discipline to develop new scripts to manipulate data within processes and interfaces as required by the business.

Utility Invoicing

Large scale organisations with many sites often have challenges managing the huge volume of utility invoices that they receive. Talk to Chapter to find out more about the Utility Invoices solution which uses standard Business World functionality.

Fixed Assets

Chapter Consultants Ltd have experience of implementing Fixed Assets in the charity, University, and Local Government markets; the latter of which is somewhat more complex than the others due to reporting requirements. Talk to us if you are looking to implement Fixed Assets or would like a review of your exitsing solution.

Purchase Cards

Use of Purchase Cards has expanded significantly in the last few years. The ‘light touch’ nature of the facility has reduced the cost of procurement for many organisations, both for travel and low cost high volume purchasing; however this does come with some potential control issues. Chapter have vast experience of building Purchase Card solutions utilising import and workflow solutions to help manage and reconcile your purchase card solution.
