Hi all,

Its seems amazing that January has already come and gone, albeit without the usual deposit of snow, just lots and lots of rain. This hasn't deterred us at Innovar from delivering another Newsletter full of articles that we hope you will find of interest.

This month our articles all consider ways to get the best from the planning, forecasting and budgeting you do within your company. The article 'Planning to Change' considers some searching questions you need to ask yourself if you are thinking of changing your planning system. The article 'Three Practices to Improve Your Planning and Forecasting' explains ways you can improve your planning system, learnt from our experiences on seeing some of the poor practices we repeatedly come across when visting customer sites. And finally the article 'Where's My Data Gone?' provides sound advice for avoiding a disaster recovery situation and how to cope if it does happen to you.

We hope you find this useful and would welcome any feedback you may have. If you enjoyed reading this then please feel free to share this with your colleagues
