Four points that characterize Unit4’s AI solutions are:
Pragmatic AI integration: Boost performance with AI processes designed to reduce task completion times and enhance data accuracy.
Augmented human activity: Amplify the impact of your team’s efforts and unlock new potentials within your ERP system.
Enhanced UX: Elevate employee experiences with intuitive AI solutions that simplify daily tasks and increase productivity.
Customer-centric security: Unit4’s ethical innovation, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity measures ensure user and community trust and safety.
On the side of AI another of Simon Paris’ priorities circulates around the SaaS business model (Software-as-a-Service):
“As CEO of Unit4, my priorities are to drive value, engagement and results for our customers, partners, employees and stakeholders, and through those priorities, drive long-term, sustainable SaaS growth. I am a passionate believer in the principle of ‘doing well by doing good’, and a firm believer in how technology and software can have a positive impact on people’s lives,” he says.
A Solution that Strengthens the Service Portfolio
In the introduction Unit4’s Success4U was mentioned, which is the company’s model for successful implementation of, among others, Unit4 ERP X, or for existing customers migrating from on-premises solutions to the cloud. This has now been expanded with new catalogs. To offer additional flexibility to customers, Success4U Advanced is also being launched, as part of Unit4’s cloud service engagement model. Success4U Advanced fills the gap between Essentials and Professional and is designed to provide an alternative for customers where the Unit4 solution is not business-critical and therefore does not require extended support.
Among customers who use Success4U are:
* Middlesbrough Council, the authority for the Borough of Middlesbrough, England.
* Aston University, a public university located in Birmingham, England.
Building His Management Team
In parallel with the technology and business challenges, Simon Paris is also building up his leadership team with new staffing on the management side in some key roles: Vera Batyalova becomes VP of Partner Sales and Magdalena Teschemacher, Sales Director for the APAC region (Asia Pacific).
Batyalova is thus responsible for the company’s global partner network, including strategy, commercialization, implementation, product and technology partnerships and generating additional revenue.
Teschemacher’s mission will be to develop strategic sales, revenue growth and ensure expansion of the business in the Asia Pacific region. She will oversee both the APAC Prosoft business and global Unit4 products, with a focus on go-to-market plans, sales, marketing and competitive positioning to deliver best-in-class cloud solutions and services.
