Three hundred and fifty local clients of Shireburn Software attended a highly informative Euro Information meeting held earlier this month at the Westin Dragonara.

During the event Shireburn launched its Euro Toolkits that enable users of the company’s widely adopted financial, inventory and payroll/HR solutions to easily convert their data to the euro.

“The euro conversion process is not just about converting your prices: financial, inventory, payroll and other such systems need to be converted while maintaining the old Lm data for historic purposes. Rounding and conversion errors will result which need to be accounted for and audited. It is not a trivial procedure and our Euro Toolkits fully automate the process,” said John de Giorgio, Shireburn’s managing director.

Alex Wells, manager, Technical Preparations, NECC, said: “This is the way euro conversion tools should work! You press a button, and it all comes together. After technical discussions with Shireburn, it was clear that they had already more than competently tackled the more problematic areas, for example, rounding discrepancies and backdated postings of transactions. This is the ‘perfect scenario’ for any business – a solution where it can convert its systems to euro at the press of a button. Due to the timely availability of these tools, Shireburn customers have ample time to fully test the tools, so that once they ultimately run the conversion, they can be confident there will be no unexpected surprises.”
