St.Gallen awards contract to Abraxas
The cooperation between the two St.Gallen IT companies Abacus and Abraxas is yielding results: the city of St.Gallen today announced the award of a contract for new human resources and financial software. Abraxas Informatik AG was commissioned with the implementation of the solution by Abacus Research.
The new HR and finance solution from Abacus Research covers all relevant processes and business cases in the area of finance and payroll/HR of the city of St.Gallen. The software is used by employees in the school and administration of St.Gallen's largest municipality. The solution includes fully integrated archive and dossier management and also networks the administration thanks to mobile solutions. The municipality will thus be able to sustainably reduce its administrative workload. Not least, all 80,000 residents of St.Gallen will benefit from this.
Successful cooperation
The cooperation between Abacus Research and Abraxas Informatik, which was communicated in mid-2018, was concretized in a sales partnership at the beginning of 2019. Abraxas has since expanded its offering to include the entire Abacus product range and built up a competent Abacus consulting team. This collaboration is already bearing fruit in the current year: Abraxas has won around a dozen new customers for Abacus software, including now the city of St. Gallen. The joint success in the software tender proves that the partnership has advantages for both companies. For their part, users benefit from tailor-made modular solutions.
"We complement each other in an ideal way" Reto Gutmann, the CEO of Abraxas, is convinced. "Abacus Research, as a leading Swiss software house, has been an established and reliable software supplier in the public administration market for decades". Daniel Senn, member of the Abacus executive board, doubles down: "Abraxas, for its part, is a competent and experienced integrator for the introduction and training of IT solutions."
