VDD IQware and UNIT4 enter into partnership

Eindhoven, March 3, 2010 – VDD IQware, developer and vendor of the Enterprise Content Management System Hyarchis.Net, and UNIT4 Accountancy have entered into a partnership. This partnership allows UNIT4 to offer a Document Management solution integrated in their total package of products and services to accountants and financial specialists. Given the increasing flow of documents, document and workflow management has become of vital importance in core processes, including administration services, work – and audit programming, accountancy - and tax reporting, tax submissions and salary processing.

Invigorated laws and regulations and the increasing responsibility of accountants and financial specialists, UNIT4 encountered an increasing need for a Document Management solution. Hyarchis.Net is based on Microsoft.Net technology, just like the UNIT4 solutions and can therefore easily be integrated with the existing solutions.

“We were looking for a sophisticated and flexible partner who’s products would seamlessly fit in our portfolio”, says Herman de Jonge, CEO at UNIT4 Accountancy. “VDD IQware’s Hyarchis.Net met these requirements. VDD IQware has earned a lot of credits in the financial market regarding document management, which makes them a reliable and experienced party. This gave us confidence to enter into a partnership. VDD IQware is a Dutch company which allows us to act promptly and straightforward. This is of vital importance in a market that is subject to continuous law and regulation changes.”

“We are very pleased with this partnership”, says Andre van der Doelen, CEO at VDD IQware. “In UNIT4 we have found an appropriate partner to offer Hyarchis.Net in the accountancy market. UNIT4 has extensive knowledge of this market and is therefore the right partner for us to offer digital filing solutions available to accountants.”
