Safaricom Business
has launched online solutions that will enable Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs) to access affordable high-end software transforming
the way they manage their businesses.
The solutions will allow SMEs access to a website,
professional email, human resource payroll software and accounting
software at competitive prices.
Safaricom Business General Manager Sylvia Mulinge says that the new
offer will make it easier and affordable for SMEs to professionalize
data management.
She highlighted that the new proposition offers businesses the option
of choosing the specific suite of services they require based on the
individual needs.
“Software as a service is a solution that will provide SMEs with an
affordable, safe and secure method of storing and managing their data.
Presently, many SMEs find the cost of data management such as the
purchase of genuine software and servers as well as the hire of
professionals prohibitive,” she said.
She said that users will only have to pay for the solutions according to the specific needs of the business.
“Users will also be able to access the services wherever they are
through the internet hence affording them flexibility in managing data,”
she said.
The accounting software; Sage Pastel, will allow SMEs to generate
professional financial reports which they can use to borrow loans from
financial institutions.
The payroll solution; Clean Bill, will ease and professionalize
payroll management by automatically tabulate all statutory deductions
from the employees and keeping relevant records.
To access the new service, businesses will pay a monthly fee of Sh870
for the on-line payroll processing software, Sh1,740 for the accounting
software and Sh1,750 for professional email. Website hosting will cost
Sh999 for a full year’s subscription.
