The Company. Scala Business Solutions is a software company. The company has traditionally supplied software for managing business, including both accounting packages and development of the entire ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software suit. Scala’s primary market is the subsidiaries and departments of global companies, providing standard and localized software. Scala sells to the headquarters of these companies and then implements the software globally; through an unusually wide market coverage in almost every country in the world. Scala also addresses purely local markets through a network of dealers.
Scala was one of the first companies to enter the Central and Eastern European markets in the beginning of 1990s when in 1991 it was first introduced in Russia and in 1995 opened a permanent office in Kiev, Ukraine. We were one of the first to offer financial systems to enterprises just as they were being privatised, consolidated, or acquired by outside investors. Scala Developing centre in Moscow, being one of the biggest worldwide centres of the kind, promptly reacts to the rapid changes in Ukrainian legislation. We have survived regular and multiple revisions of the regulatory and tax codes, working with multiple currencies, currency devaluation, and all of the other elements of rapidly changing economic environments in the post-socialist world. With practice, we became capable of releasing service packs and adopting Scala to the new requirements just as the laws were coming into effect, sheltering our clients’ businesses from being affected.
In addition to the standard adoption to national fiscal and legislative principles, as well as full lingual localization, Scala may be customized to a particular company’s needs through the use of Microsoft’s VBA technology. Known as the Scala Developer Edition, the product offers the standard Scala functionality plus the ability to extend or adjust the system according to client’s requirements. Such customisation can be done either by Scala, by certified Scala dealer or Implementation partner, or by the client’s IT department.
