24th March 2005 - Directors of the UK's major software authors and resellers attended Version One's prestigious Industry Briefing, which was held at the House of Commons on the 10th March 2005.

The event, which was hosted by Sir Nicholas Winterton, MP highlighted the major trends within the financial software market. Industry luminaries such as Dennis Keeling, Chief Executive of BASDA, the Business Application Software Developers Association, highlighted the key issues that are shaping our industry in 2005. "IT budgets will increase by at least 3% above inflation and Finance Departments will be focused on clear and measurable R.O.I. from IT."

Software authors and resellers discussed their strategy for growth, new business is growing slowly but most resellers see base business as being the real revenue opportunity

According to Mark Thompson, MD of CedarOpenAcounts, the third largest financial software author in the UK, 'Fewer organisations are replacing their existing accounting software systems. Many customers are looking to extract as much out of their existing systems by implementing add-on modules. Of all the add-on modules that customers can purchase, document management and imaging has one of the fastest ROI's."

The main focus of the event was the official launch of DbCapture, an Automated Invoice Capture Solution that enables organisations to automate the processing of supplier invoices. An early adopter of DbCapture, Michelle Jeffrey of Johnston Publishing, demonstrated the many business benefits of using this technology

'We are currently saving over £1/2M per year with Version One's document management and imaging system, DbArchive. DbCapture gives us the potential to save 60% of the time spent by 46 clerks processing supplier invoices.'

Phil Buck, Sales Director at Patech, an Oracle partner, said 'We are really excited by DbCapture, the new OCR technology from Version One. This product will significantly increase our competitive edge and help us to win even more new business.'
