LOVEFiLM Chooses Codestone

Released on = December 11, 2006, 2:03 am

Press Release Author = Codestone

Industry = Software

Press Release Summary = Europe's leading online DVD rental company, LOVEFiLM
International Ltd, has chosen Poole-based IT solution provider Codestone to
implement SAP Business One.

Press Release Body = Originally a subsidiary of Arts Alliance Media, LOVEFiLM merged
with Video Island, operators of Screenselect.co.uk, consolidating the combined
business under the LOVEFiLM brand. As an independent business, LOVEFiLM needed to
source a new accounting solution that met the needs of a fast growing, international
business.

LOVEFiLM had previously used SAP Business One as part of Arts Alliance, making it
the obvious choice for implementation.

Managing Director of Codestone, Jeremy Bucknell explains "SAP Business One is
specifically designed for growing businesses like LOVEFiLM. With SAP Business One,
LOVEFiLM will be able to have up-to-the-minute information for accounts, banking,
sales and management, from which they can create reports and monitor business
activity."

In parallel with the UK implementation, LOVEFiLM will work with Codestone to roll
out SAP Business One to its Nordic operations. SAP Business One is ideal for
businesses based in several overseas locations, as it allows the data entered in one
country to be displayed elsewhere in the local currency, making the exchange of
financial information between the international offices straightforward.
