Innovar Ltd Newsletter    

News update on financial planning for business

 

April 2012

Dear  

 

In this month's newsletter we begin looking at cloud based planning. We have two articles, one looking at its place in the future of financial planning, and the second outlining what a cloud based product can offer, in particular Anaplan. In addition we have an invitation for you to join the free Webinar we are running on 24th April, where Paul Baron will discuss Cloud Based Planning and Anaplan in further detail. There is also an article which looks at how businesses can find a balance between meeting long term and short term goals.  

 

In our previous Newsletter we told you that some of the Innovar Team would run for Sports Relief on 25th March. Find out how it went. 

 

We hope you find this useful and would welcome any feedback you may have.

 

Innovar is the expert planning and training consultancy company, specialising in budgeting and forecasting software, planning and spreadsheet issues.

Who's afraid of the cloud?

 

Cloud software will one day be the norm. There, I've said it now. My position is clear and unambiguous. One day the cloud will be the natural choice for storing and running business applications. The only questions that still need answering, are when that day will arrive and what follows it?

How can I meet my Short Term and Long Term Goals?

 

Businesses continually face a dilemma between meeting short term and long term goals. A quick detour to meet a short term goal can take you off course for meeting a long term goal. On the other hand sticking too tightly to a long term goal may mean missing opportunities.

Sport Relief

Innovar has run for Sports Relief 

   

Richard and I, along with our children ran for Sports Relief on Sunday 25th March. It was a gloriously sunny day and there were many runners, walkers, dogs and babies in pushchairs, all taking part for a great cause. My daughter and I did a steady walk/jog for 3 miles, wearing colourful feather boas, in 35 minutes. This didn't stop us being lapped twice by my son, who ran 6 miles in an impressive 39 mins. Richard too, did very well running 6 miles in 49 mins,  however he was disappointed to be beaten by Scooby Doo and two ladies dressed as bees! Our biggest achievement is that we have managed to raise over �200 for Sport Relief.
