‘The fact that Star ticked so many boxes for Practice Management and could also provide an overall accounting solution in the shape of Microsoft Dynamics Nav (formerly Navision) means we only have to work with one supplier for a complete solution.’
Abacus Isle of Man, Operations Director, Paul Watterson.
‘The CGI system had very good processes and was working well but the feeling was that Navision would take us to the next level.’
Dinesh Sanghvi, Finance Director, CGI Group (Europe) Ltd.
‘A particular attraction was that it combined the benefits of an off-the-shelf package with a custom-built solution.’
Miran Khesro, Financial Controller, Prime Light Electrical
‘The outcome was so striking that the board of directors in Munich gave approval for Navision to be rolled out internationally, – Europe-wide and into the US office’
Meint Dijkstra, Head of Technical Services, Unipalm UK
‘With Star’s help, we successfully implemented Navision on time and within budget. This was a remarkable achievement.’
Dinesh Sanghvi, Finance Director, CGI Group (Europe) Ltd.
‘The beauty of Navision is that although this was a very big project, its flexibility as a product coupled with its speed of development, meant we are able to deliver comparatively quickly.’
Meint Dijkstra, Head of Technical Services, Unipalm UK
‘The end result is that in Navision, CGI Europe & Asia Pacific has a common, fully functional, financial accounting and reporting platform that has scaled successfully from supporting a business of 300 people to more than 1200.’
Dinesh Sanghvi, Finance Director, CGI Group (Europe) Ltd.
‘Star is a Microsoft Gold Partner and I find it very useful to be able to phone in to discuss topics, such as recruitment issues, what is happening in the market and so on.’
Meint Dijkstra, Head of Technical Services, Unipalm UK
‘Star support staff are very knowledgeable and experienced and more importantly they are very responsive.’
Gwen Thomas, Finance Manager, De Rigo UK.
‘Before Navision we didn't have accurate visibility through the computer of what we had in the warehouse. Now we have it at our fingertips and I think we are selling a lot more because of that.’
Sarah Schofield, Sales Office Manager, Simon Elvin Limited
‘With data extracted from Navision, we can instantly view up-to-date customer information, looking at turnover, buying history, year-to-date sales by customer or by item, and so on.’
Miran Khesro, Financial Controller, Prime Light Electrical
‘Star Computers continues to provide first-class support through its helpdesk and online diagnosis service whilst Star consultants are always happy to visit the company to discuss further fine tuning.’

Workflow and Alerts Management
TaskCentre offers a unique state-of-the-art Business Process Management (BPM) Suite; enabling organisations to cost effectively build, operate and maintain any number of automated processes.
Developed by leading BPM specialists, Orbis, TaskCentre brings people, systems and information together within an organisation through the acquisition, manipulation, dissemination and integration of information; offering a generic approach to automated processes specifically designed to meet precise business requirements.
Star is one of a select band of global OEM’s for TaskCentre which we have deployed around the world in conjunction with our Star Practice Management software. Based on our experience and expertise over several years and the increasing demand for more sophisticated Workflow and Alerts management capability from our Clients, we went on to connect TaskCentre to Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Although we can provide for certain ‘ready made’ business processes, TaskCentre is a toolset that is very easy for Clients’ own use offering long term practicality and operational advantage.

Data Services and Integration

Tasks
TaskCentre is based on the central concept of the Task, which performs part or all of a business or technical process triggered by one or more Events. Designed visually in a drag & drop graphical user interface (GUI), each Task can contain any number of interrelated and sequenced Steps, which are created using a wide range of highly-functional Tools. The range of Tools available provides pre-built, flexible and seamless integration with existing information sources, applications, technologies, formats and communication channels, without the need for complex programming.
Tools
Tools are arranged into six distinct categories based on the functionality that they provide. These are Event, Input, Format, Output, Execute and General. They expose and consume information to and from each other and can be used in almost limitless combinations and sequences to provide for the business requirement in-hand. Tools are provided as plug-and-play components, so that the breadth of functionality of any implementation can be easily expanded as and when required.
