Topaz Staff Praised Following Most Successful Year

Topaz staff in all departments have been praised for helping the financial, payroll and HR software company to achieve its most successful year.

Major contract wins for Topaz Financials, Topaz EMS (Employee Management System), plus online Topaz technology and the new Topaz Credit Control product have been secured in the recruitment sector. These include Hudson, the UK arm of a global leader in recruitment, and Grafton Recruitment, a leading supplier of employment solutions in Ireland.

The Topaz Financials software also achieved prestigious industry recognition this year in the Accountancy Age Awards. An independent judging panel of highly respected financial and business leaders shortlisted it for the Enterprise Software Package of the Year accolade, following consideration of design quality, technical innovation, reliability, value for money and customer testimonials.

ìOur hardworking staff helped us to achieve our best year in terms of contract successes, product enhancements, customer satisfaction, marketing and award recognition and I would like to thank them for their efforts,î says Geoff Griffiths, Topaz Managing Director.

ìTo be recognized in the largest and most prestigious awards in the accountancy profession is a fantastic achievement and is testimony to the Topaz philosophy of ëgoing the extra mileí in product development and customer care.

ìI would like to thank our customers who took the time to nominate us with glowing testimonials for the awards and also highlight their high levels of satisfaction to the judges.î

A ëpayback to the payroll sectorí initiative has been launched by Topaz this year with a 4,000 Bursary Fund to cover the two year course fees for the IPP Diploma in Payroll Management. It has generated additional interest in the recruitment and payroll sectors, which will continue in 2007 when the winner is announced in April.
ìThis year our staff have been helping Topaz to grab the headlines in the financial, payroll and HR sectors with a number of high profile recruitment company contract wins and by launching the Bursary Fund,î says Eddie Stanley, Topaz Sales Director.

ìOur aim for 2007 is to continue this success and increase the coverage and promotion of our products by attracting new customers and announcing the lucky winner of our funding of the course fees for the IPP Diploma in Payroll Management.î
