London, UK – Monday 14th, July, 2025

Touchstone, a leading provider of financial management software solutions specialising in Infor SunSystems, is proud to announce the renewed strategic partnership with Proactis, a global leader in spend management and procurement automation. This collaboration brings together two best-of-breed solutions to deliver a powerful and fully integrated P2P solution for SunSystems users, enabling finance and procurement teams to take full control of spend across the entire purchasing lifecycle.

The partnership between Touchstone and Proactis brings together expertise in financial management and world-class procurement technology to deliver an end-to end P2P for SunSystems users. Through a native integration between Proactis and Infor SunSystems, Touchstone clients can now benefit from a unified, end-to end platform that connects procurement processes directly to their core financial system offering real-time data flow, process automation, and actionable insights.

Already, well-known organisations such as Dementia UK, West Yorkshire Police, and the British Airways Pension Scheme are leveraging the combined power of Infor SunSystems and Proactis through Touchstone to modernise procurement and improve financial control.

How Proactis and SunSystems Seamlessly Integrate

The integration between Proactis and Infor SunSystems is designed to be both robust and flexible, ensuring it works effortlessly within existing financial ecosystems. Proactis acts as the front-end procurement and spend control platform, enabling users to manage supplier onboarding, requisitions, approvals, sourcing, contracts, purchase orders, goods receipts, and invoice approvals all from a centralised, cloud-based interface.

Once transactions and procurement decisions are made within Proactis, the system automatically posts the relevant financial data to Infor SunSystems. This includes invoice data, budget commitments, accruals, and coding details removing the need for duplicate data entry and reducing manual errors.

By bridging the operational and financial functions, the integration ensures that budget holders, procurement teams, and finance departments are always working from a single version of the truth. It also supports multi-entity and multi-currency environments, which are key strengths of Infor SunSystems, making it an ideal solution for organisations with complex structures and global operations.

 

‘As more of our clients embrace cloud technology to power integrated, digitally driven financial ecosystems, Proactis offers an exceptional platform that aligns perfectly with Infor SunSystems Cloud. This partnership will allow us to deliver a truly end-to-end solution that modernises procurement, drives efficiency, and supports smarter decision-making.’


Richard Ray, Head of Products & Solutions at Touchstone

We’re delighted to be working closely with TouchstoneFMS once again to bring even greater value to the SunSystems community. By combining Proactis’ market leading P2P capabilities with the financial strength of Infor SunSystems, we’re helping organisations implement fully integrated finance and procurement solutions that deliver measurable efficiency, visibility, and control across the entire purchasing lifecycle.

Adam Hurst, Head of Global Partnerships at Proactis

Touchstone and Octave at Maintec: Powering Asset Performance Through Smarter Maintenance Management

For the second consecutive year, Touchstone is proud to be exhibiting at Maintec — the UK's longest-standing exhibition for predictive maintenance, reliability, and asset management.  Taking place on the 3rd and 4th June, the show brings together experts, leaders, and innovators shaping the future of asset-intensive operations. This year, we're returning with more to show, including the latest developments in Octave Attune (formerly HxGN EAM and HxGN APM), our cloud-based enterprise asset management solution built to help organisations extend asset life, improve maintenance efficiency, and reduce unplanned downtime.

Sustainable Finance: Why the Energy Sector Must Look Beyond Reporting—and How Octave Attune EAM, Formerly HxGN EAM, Supports the Shift

Sustainable finance has evolved from a peripheral concern to a core driver of strategic decision-making in the global energy sector. Investors, regulators, and communities now demand more than sustainability commitments—they require operational evidence. This shift represents a fundamental change in how energy organisations must operate: sustainability is no longer about narrative control.

Smarter Assets, Stronger Outcomes: How IoT is Reshaping Asset-Intensive Industries

Asset-intensive industries are under increasing pressure to manage the rising costs of operations, ageing infrastructure, and a growing imperative to meet sustainability goals. Traditional approaches, such as reactive maintenance, manual reporting, and siloed systems are no longer fit for purpose in a world that demands agility, efficiency, and transparency.

System Review

If your finance or business system is no longer meeting your organisation’s requirements, chances are that the system itself is not the issue, but instead it requires updates to ensure it aligns with the changes being made within your business.
Drawing on our extensive experience in the Energy sector, we can review your system and revive it, with optimised and integrated processes, to provide a firm foundation for expansion and ensure that it meets your business needs.

Regulation of all of the systems within your organisation - governance and business processes, time management, money management (including accounting and tax obligations) - is key to a successful project, and to a professional environment generally. Our team can identify where potential issues lie, and use the data we collect to implement new, more effective strategies.
