The Awards will take place on 25th February 2010 in London and are being attended on behalf of ICONI Software by Liam Jordan, Managing Director and Donall Burns, Technical Director.

Liam said, “It is a great privilege to be nominated for this award and it is a reflection on the hard work we’ve been doing over the past year. As a Northern Ireland company which boasts over 70% of our turnover in GB, I can’t think of a better award to be associated with.”

The company has also won significant local business with a contract for the design, development and implementation of a Management Information System (MIS) to service Invest NI’s start up business programme, which is part of Invest NI’s Go For It programme. The system has been introduced by ICONI Software to assist Invest NI and its enterprising partners to deliver and monitor the Enterprise Development Programme, which is part of the Go For It programme that provides support for small business start-ups.
ICONI Software specialises in developing systems that provide sophisticated client tracking applications which can manage and report on all business aspects including meetings, events, training courses, mentoring and also includes a financial management module.

Liam Jordan, Owner and Managing Director of ICONI Software, said: “We have gained substantial experience in this niche area over the last eight years, becoming one of the leading companies in the UK and Ireland. Now due to this experience we are able to service both local and export markets including the needs of Invest NI. It is fitting that having been supported by Invest NI as a start up company ourselves, and going on to develop a successful export business, that we are now providing a service to support their business start up programme.”

“Despite the current climate we have seen our export sales rise significantly as our experience in supporting enterprise agencies has grown and we have won new business in Southern Ireland, Scotland and across England. We hope to develop our export business further and are in discussions with a number of other enterprise agencies in the Republic.”

ICONI Software won the Invest NI tender through the government framework and Central Procurement Directorate and the company now works closely with the Invest NI Entrepreneurship Development Team. Over the last five years the company has seen significant growth in the Management Information System markets, particularly in providing Enterprise Management Solutions.

At the conference we will be showcasing our ICONI Enterprise Manager product, which is a sophisticated CRM system which also includes a built-in Tenancy module for managing business units:

The Tenancy Module has been specifically designed to help manage the tenancy application process and also the services provided (example shown above) to the tenants are tracked on a recurring (rent, utilities etc.) and ad-hoc (telephony, photocopying etc.) basis.  These can then be batched monthly to produce associated invoices.   For further information on our Tenancy Module or our range of products, please contact us.
