SBW Advertising Outgrows its Accounts System and Switches to Concept

Concept's integrated accounts, workflow and job management appeals to SBW Advertising as Sage Accounts system coupled with bespoke job management solution fail to keep up wiht Agency's growth and demands

Chessington, UK – November xx , 2009 – Concept Integrated Systems, (www.esg-concept.com ) developers of the integrated agency management system, Concept™, has today announced that Bristol-based digital advertising agency, SBW Advertising, (www.sbwadvertising.com ) has selected Concept’s integrated finance, account management and workflow management to improve information visibility, efficiency and decision making.

Concept was designed by agencies for agencies and is a sophisticated and comprehensive integrated agency management system that includes job management and account management, functions which for SBW Advertising were hitherto being managed by separate systems. Furthermore, Concept is an on-demand, hosted solution, so no need for any software to be installed in-house or infrastructure to support.

SBW Advertising’s managing director, Simon Wright was already familiar with Concept and took little convincing to switch to the fully integrated hosted solution, “Concept is tried and tested and well respected in the market. We simply outgrew our Sage accounts and bespoke job management system and Concept was the obvious choice to support our growth and to give us much improved management information and the flexibility that we need both now and in the future. The hosted model is particularly appealing as it reduces our support and infrastructure costs enabling us to focus attentions on our business and clients.”

Ian Tomlins is divisional director at Concept and adds, “Many agencies start with packaged accounts solutions like Sage and boost it with job management functionality to give an integrated view of the business. However they soon outgrow such systems or suffer inefficiencies trying to replicate data in both. That is where Concept fits in as a fully integrated agency management system that will give SBW Advertising a much improved and integrated view of the business enabling greater control, efficiencies and decision making.”
