PRESS RELEASE
UK SPORT EXPANDS ITS PROCESSION E-PROCESS
SYSTEM
Procession's Software Will Handle Exchequer
Funding for UK's Top Athletes
CHESHAM, England. June 5th, 2002 - Procession
has announced that UK Sport has once again chosen Procession's E-PROCESS
SUITE™ to handle awards of Exchequer funding to UK governing
bodies of sport and major sporting events, as well as awards to the
UK's top athletes for their equipment, training and living expenses.
Procession's E-PROCESS SUITE™
is already used by UK Sport to administer all Lottery funding, and
this extension will mean that all grants awarded by UK Sport, regardless
of the funding source, are administered and controlled through the
Procession system. Procession's unique audit and control facilities
will now be available to Exchequer funded grants, and UK Sport's reporting
systems will be greatly simplified.
"We chose Procession because of its flexibility
- we need to be able to introduce and modify processes very rapidly",
said Liz Nicholl, UK Sport's Director of Performance Services, "and
we liked the friendliness of the software. We were also impressed
by the quality of Procession's Professional Services - their consultants
have really become part of our team."
"Over the past 3 years Procession has
delivered all of UK Sport's grant management systems. This 3rd phase
follow on contract demonstrates UK Sport's high level of satisfaction
in Procession's ongoing delivery" said Ian Boston, Chief Technical
Officer, Procession Limited.
