Positive Result for Greentree in UK Lab Test
Report by David Carter - accountingweb.co.uk
July 2007
Greentree is experiencing significant growth in the UK market. This is strongly supported by a review and lab test of Greentree's Financial Suite that has garnered much praise from the UK reviewer...
"Clearly, Greentree is a product of the first rank."
The overall standard of the software is very high, but certain features call for particular praise. Examples are: the use of coding hierarchies (“trees”) for reporting; different screen layouts for entering different types of transaction line; the ability to post to several companies within the one transaction; and the GL Enquiry screen being effectively a window onto the entire GL database.
Greentree offers a full range of modules in addition to the accounting ledgers covered in this review. The developer’s representative showed me the CRM module which looked extremely good, suggesting that a similar standard prevails across the rest of the range.
Greentree is little known in this country [the UK]. However, it should be stressed that it has an established track record as a premier supplier in Australia/NZ.
And as I have argued elsewhere, with the private equity industry now targeting software companies, buying from a long-established and well-known UK vendor is no longer quite the safe option it used to be.
UK reseller Prerogative says it is promoting Greentree to more experienced and therefore more discriminating customers. This makes sense.
"If you are the sort of user who is looking to work with a small supplier of top quality business software, then Greentree can be strongly recommended."

Greentree voted one of the global 25 “Rising Stars”
Greentree International has been recognised by Managing Information Strategies (MIS) Magazine, Australia’s leading IT management magazine, as a global top 25 ‘Rising Star’.
MIS Magazine awarded the prestigious accolade as part of their annual Strategic 100 list of information technology innovators and leaders. MIS Magazine is part of Fairfax Business Media, and is published in Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
Paul Smith, Editor of MIS Magazine says “the companies selected are adjudged to be the most strategically important for CIO’s to keep abreast of.” That is those that show signs of seriously influencing the way technology is bought or deployed. These global ‘Rising Star’ companies were selected by analysts, IT directors and the MIS editorial team. The expert panel makes the selection from companies around the globe with over 3000 IT vendors vying for selection.
The significance of the positioning for Greentree should not be underestimated. The list places Greentree in the company of fellow ‘Rising Stars’ such as Google. Greentree are the only NZ vendor on the MIS 25 ‘Rising Stars’ list, such recognition is rarely bestowed from outside the domestic market. |
