Maconomy ERP bags a jumbo deal

BOSTON, US: The international ERP provider Maconomy saved the best for last in 2009 by landing the biggest deal of its 20-year history. TNS, a company in the world’s largest market research network Kantar Group, has purchased 2,500 licenses with an option for an additional 5,000 licenses. This follows a global trend among professional services companies toward fewer systems and smart financial consolidation.

As a press note adds, in late 2008 Kantar Group acquired TNS, one of the world’s largest market research brands with more than 20,000 employees. TNS is new to Maconomy while other market research brands in Kantar Group, including Millward Brown, Added Value and Research International, already use Maconomy today.

“As we are pursuing a strategy to integrate and streamline our operations, it was a natural move for us to expand our relationship with Maconomy. Maconomy designs their ERP solutions specifically for our type of organization. They have been very responsive and demonstrated that they can help us optimize our workflows and consolidate our financial data across the entire organization without compromising end-user performance. That’s a unique combination and the reason we selected Maconomy,” says Mike Gettle, CFO of TNS.
