News update on financial planning for business

 

August 2015
Hi ,

Welcome to the August Newsletter. Summer is well and truly here and Innovar have been very busy since our previous newsletter. Amongst other things we have launched our new website and presented at the CIMA launch event for "Essential Tools for Management Accountants" (see article What's in Your Toolkit?)

We also have some exciting Anaplan news. Innovar will once again be attending the Anaplan Hub in London on 8th October and have complimentary tickets available for those interested in attending. We also analyse what is included in Anaplan's 3rd release in 2015.

Finally we have an article looking at Historical Data and its importance to your company.

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 

 

Innovar is the expert planning company. We offer IBM Cognos Planning and TM1, BOARD and  Anaplan software and implementation services. We provide specialist budgeting and forecasting training and consultancy services and we help solve spreadsheet issues.

What's in Your Toolkit?

 

We all accept that trades people like plumbers and electricians, carry a large toolkit around with them so that whatever the task at hand, they will have the right tool for the job.
