A cloud business software specialist has recorded one of its best years thanks mostly to the pandemic.
East Kilbride-based Eureka Solutions recorded an annual turnover of £4.5 million in its latest financial year which was a two per cent growth over the previous 12-month period. It saw enquiries double and client numbers increase by four per cent.
David Lindores, CEO of the firm which has an extensive client base across the UK, said: “Our team deserve huge credit for this. They [Team is singular, Ed.] have stepped up and made sure that our clients enjoyed exceptional service and creative solutions during one of the most difficult times for business that anyone has ever encountered.
“Like every other employer, we’ve had to deal with fear and uncertainty, but we have focused on our clients, just as many of them turned to cloud-based software as a work from home solution. With our help, clients have been able to carry on delivering their products and services. That’s not just very good for them, it is good for us, as we don’t expect this to stop here.
“The pandemic has accelerated what was already happening in terms of a move towards cloud technology. Some estimate that it has accelerated the change by at least five years and businesses will continue to need expert help to manage these changes.”
Increased demand has already seen Eureka Solutions add 12 new staff to its 65-strong team in the past six months. Meanwhile, it is drawing up ambitious plans to take its proprietary integration technology to the global market.
Lindores said: “The need for cloud-based operations is greater than it has ever been. We’re already known as an expert in this field. What’s more we’ve proven across a huge range of sectors, from football clubs to air travel. Now more businesses are seeing the new possibilities that open up for them when they can access all of their vital business data via a web browser, wherever they are.”
The company runs Oracle NetSuite, one of the biggest and its own bespoke business integration software platform. The idea is to helping companies tailor and deploy NetSuite, the cloud-based business management suite, which covers financials, eCommerce, CRM and many other tools in one unified platform.
