Sylogist Inks Global Deal for Public Sector with Microsoft
Sylogist Ltd., through its Serenic Software operating division, has amended its solution provider agreement with Microsoft to address the large opportunity emerging in the public sector ERP marketplace, particularly in North American mid-markets.
As a Microsoft ISV, Serenic has provided a complete public sector accounting solution through its Serenic Navigator accounting software. Navigator is built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
This new agreement moves Serenic’s relationship with Microsoft beyond the company’s traditional focus on non-government organizations, not-for-profits, government special agencies and government financial organizations, to include school districts and local government, according to company officials
Sylogist will also sell the public sector solutions directly through its divisions’ sales forces as it has done in the past, officials said.
“The major opportunity in the United States and Canada is for the large base of public sector organizations suffering with multi-vendor legacy systems,” said Jim Wilson, president and CEO of Sylogist, in a statement. “Sylogist will now be able to offer this large group a comprehensive solution, fully integrated with their other Microsoft products, operating in the secure Microsoft Azure cloud or on-premises of the customers’ choosing.”
