What our customers say

The move to IBM Cognos Controller on Cloud was a success, we’re now using a modern version of the software and we won’t have to worry about staying current in the future. This not only saves time for our IT team; it also puts us in an even stronger position in terms of auditing and compliance, with support for the latest IFRS standards.

Premier Foods

Before we could move to the cloud, we needed to do a pretty big upgrade to our existing system, including moving to a new consolidation engine. Since Controller is a critical system for Premier Foods, we wanted to mitigate risk during the transition, so we looked for an experienced partner. Aramar is one of the few companies in the UK with Controller expertise—they have dedicated Controller consultants, and they had already helped several other companies migrate to the cloud.

Aramar’s product knowledge is very extensive.
