Hirsch Bedner Associates Selects Microsoft Dynamics AX and Systems Advisors Group

Seattle, WA: December 7, 2010 -

Systems Advisers Group USA (Systems Advisors Group) has announced that HBA/Hirsch Bedner Associates, a leading global provider of design services to the hospitality industry, has selected Systems Advisors Group to implement Microsoft’s Dynamics AX ERP system as HBA’s new global Accounting and Project Management platform. HBA selected the Microsoft Dynamics AX Professional Services industry solution over Deltek and BST Global, two software programs specifically developed for the Architecture & Engineering industry.

Headquartered in Santa Monica, CA and with over 500 employees on four continents around the world, HBA provides interior design, graphic design, and art consultation services to well known luxury hotels and resorts, spas, restaurants, and other hospitality destinations around the world. HBA has completed many high profile design projects, including the Four Seasons Resort Seychelles, Grand Hyatt Macau, The Ritz-Carlton Beijing, The St. Regis Atlanta, and Encore Wynn Las Vegas.

“We’re very excited that HBA has chosen Microsoft and Systems Advisors Group to complete this important project”, said Rita Clinton, US Country Manager for Systems Advisors Group. “HBA strongly considered industry solutions from Deltek and BST Global, but ultimately chose Microsoft Dynamics based on its ease of use, integration with their existing Microsoft systems, and advantage in multi-company and multi-country project accounting environments.”

Systems Advisors Group and HBA will work together to replace HBA’s Deltek Sema4 system with a single global business application. Microsoft Dynamics AX will allow HBA to streamline their project accounting transactions, improve their financial consolidation process, and position them to better react to the changing needs of a sophisticated global client base.
