Moran Towing Selects Access IT and Microsoft Navision as its Financial Software for the Future

Moran Towing hoped to find a business application that could provide them with flexibility for systems integration and instant data visibility. They found what they were looking for in Microsoft Navision and Access IT.

MELVILLE, NY - July 16, 2004 – Access IT, a leading Microsoft Presidents Club Business Partner providing Navision ERP solutions, announced today that Moran Towing, Inc., a market leader in the marine transportation, ship docking, and towing services industry on the East Coast, has awarded Access IT with a contract to implement Microsoft Navision as its Financial Management software. Moran Towing’s business software evaluation included many of the top financial software products on the market today, but in the end Navision and Access IT’s detailed implementation approach clearly stood out.

“We narrowed our business software selection down to two software providers and products.” explained Gus Flink, Controller at Moran Towing. “But because of complexities within our business and our need to integrate the software to our billing system, we confidently chose Access IT for its detailed implementation procedure and approach to resolving these key business issues.”

“Winning the opportunity to implement Microsoft Navision’s financial solution at Moran Towing is a real testament of Navision’s ability to be rapidly adapted around a company’s specific business requirements.” stated Bill Natalie, Vice President of Access IT. “Having the right tool certainly gets us into the opportunity; knowing how to get the most from it clearly demonstrates our ability to build successful business relationships with our clients."
