Group 4 Securicor plc (G4S), one of the leading providers of international security services has selected OutlookSoft 5 to manage its group consolidated monthly and statutory reporting, operational budgeting, planning, forecasting and reporting. The OutlookSoft 5 solution will be rolled out across the organisation to over 100 countries worldwide.
Following the merger of Securicor plc and Group 4 Falck's security business, G4S began its search for a performance management vendor that could provide a more controlled and robust reporting solution. The solution had to be capable of handling the individual requirements from each operating division as well as those from a consolidated group level. The company required a solution that could offer powerful functionality with strong audit, compliance and international reporting capability, accessed through an easy to use, familiar user interface.
Trevor Dighton, Chief Financial Officer at G4S explains, "The complexity, size and geographical scope of our business meant we needed to find a partner that would provide a flexible solution addressing both the group and divisional requirements. We wanted to encourage divisional access and accountability, as well as providing group management with the ability to monitor the real-time performance of the global organisation. OutlookSoft's single product delivers a platform for all of our financial reporting."
