IMG have used a manufacturing based ERP solution for many years. However, with various changes and developments throughout the company, a fully integrated solution offering a good fit across the entire business, is now required.

Sage was IMG’s preferred solution and so they set out to find an accredited business partner that could offer a hosted version of Sage 200."CPiO was the only BP to offer a complete solution that could be delivered to our three UK sites via a hosted managed service. Going hosted will remove the need for travel between sites which will free up my time, allowing me to more proactively manage the Sage 200 solution", comments Ben Staines, IT Manager, IMG Limited.

CPiO’s hosting solution will deliver a UK wide, integrated Sage 200 system for all of the company’s branches – and can be live at all sites in a short period of time. With hosting there is no staggered implementation as all the software and data is held at CPiO’s secure data centre and is seamlessly delivered across the business, yet remains fully accessible from all locations.

With regard to CPiO’s knowledge and skills, Ben adds, "CPiO demonstrated superb disaster recovery and server management capabilities. I am confident that the transition to Sage 200 will be a smooth and hassle free process".
