"After investigating several systems, we have found the
right integrated software for us. Paprika has a flexible and intuitive interface
that happily deals with the enormous variation in the projects upon which we
work and the tasks that each of them require."
Paul Whitehead
Head of Production
Ward 6 (Sydney, Australia)
"As a multinational company we identified the need of
having the same integrated system implemented in all our businesses around the
world. Paprika was the clear answer to our need."
"We can now create country reports that are fully compatible with the ones
created in other parts of our business. Now we can benefit at all levels from
this excellent and strategic managerial tool, Paprika, and we have also solved
at the same time the worrying issue of OS10 compatibility."

The Analyser functions in Sales, Purchase & Nominal
Ledger allow you to build your own reports and then export them to Excel; once
you have designed the right report for you it can be saved as a template and
used time and time again.
The Analysis Codes allow you to categorise any data that is inputted. You can
tailor each analysis code to your requirements and then use them as a report
field when using the analyser tool."

"We (dpa) were looking for a software package that
would streamline our management reporting. As a business consultancy, we work
on a project-by-project basis. Tracking costs by job, and being able to quickly
analyse and cut the data in different ways was therefore very important to us.
We also wanted to make the profitability of jobs more visible."
"We chose Paprika, via Agency Software Worldwide, over a number of other
well-known suppliers. During the proposal process we found the software to be
the most user friendly - with the user interface being the simplest and
cleanest (a must for our consultants in order to ensure the new system was
used), but with the most powerful analysis and administration tools. We also
liked the overall approach, which put strong emphasis on communication and
training - as well as getting the implementation right."
"Through the project we found the handover points between different
members of the team: sales, SAGE experts, trainers and helpdesk, to be
seamless. It's still early days and the business benefits are still to be
quantified, however, we believe that Paprika will make a significant
contribution to the efficiency of our business."

"Paprika has had a fundamental and beneficial impact
upon the financial management of the Partnership. We are better placed than
ever before to easily measure time spent on projects and the resultant client
profitability. We are looking forward to make use of the project planning
(task) system to enable us to control the need for and cost of freelance staff
during the extremely busy Annual Reporting season when our creative teams and
support staff double in quantity."

The Smiths Partnership LLP (London)
"The 360 Team is a solid, multi-discipline marketing agency with a strong strategy and planned drive for future growth. We had reached the limits of our manual management, purchase and invoicing system which had evolved organically over the last ten years.
Senior management spent 6 months assessing which system would be right for our
agency and grilled a number of systems purporting to be the best, but kept
returning to Paprika.
We are only in the very early stages of implementation but have been impressed
throughout with the Paprika team's commitment, knowledge of our industry,
understanding of the challenges that face us and dogged determination to work
with us. We are delighted and excited that we are working with the Paprika team
to better manage and grow our business as we move into the next phase of
growth."

Joint Managing Partner
360 Communications Ltd. (London)

"What gave us confidence in Paprika was the fact that
it is a tried and tested system for the PR industry. Moreover we found that the
consultant had a deep understanding on how we wanted the system to work for us,
to help us achieve our objective of streamlining our business leading to better
service for the client".

review my projects like no other accounting/job costing system.

system which integrates project management into our corporate financial
reporting, and enables me to meet tight monthly management information
deadlines accurately. Our project managers need to know the status on every
project against budget on a daily basis. Paprika is an excellent facility in
helping us to achieve these goals."

planned and interesting for all levels of licences."
