An East Kilbride-based cloud software firm is celebrating a partnership which has seen it grow over 250 per cent in a decade.
Eureka Solutions has been a partner for the sale of global business management software, Oracle NetSuite, for 10 years and is now the biggest NetSuite partner in Scotland and is among the top performers in Europe.
The Lanarkshire firm is a £5m plus a year business with more than 70 staff in Peel Park.
It has worked with the likes of video game developer nDreams, hot tub manufacturer Jacuzzi, Scotland’s airline Loganair and popular bar-meets-table-tennis pub chain, Bounce.
David Lindores, CEO of the firm, told Lanarkshire Live: “This is a huge milestone for everyone at Eureka Solutions – including many of the team who delivered the original partnership and are still with us.
“We took a clear decision at a time when many business leaders were unsure about the cloud. Most were very nervous about the possibility of putting finance and accountancy systems on it.
“However, our team was absolutely convinced this was the future, and thanks to that foresight we got an incredible head start which has benefitted our business in many ways. It is a very important anniversary for us.”
NetSuite is a comprehensive suite of business management software that integrates all the important areas and processes of a business – easily accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
Alan Miles, NetSuite Sales Director at Eureka Solutions, helped deliver the original partnership.
He added: “As a system, it had much more functionality to learn than anything we had worked with before.
"While we could immediately see the flexibility and potential of how it could be configured in so many brilliant ways, it was new territory and, after a period of intense training and experiential learning, we realised just how beneficial the system was going to be for our customers.”
Within just three weeks Eureka Solutions attracted its first potential customer and then within months successfully completed its first implementation - that first customer deployed is still a customer 10 years on.
Alan added: “The NetSuite partnership was a huge investment and there was a period when we feared it might not pay off. However, once everything clicked into place it has delivered an amazing return on investment."
The East Kilbride firm has clients across tech, hospitality, non-profit, wholesale distribution, sport, ecommerce, and other sectors and NetSuite is now used globally by over 32,000 businesses in over 200 countries.
