Escaping Excel Hell - Planning and Budgeting


Back in the mists of time (early July to be precise) we took a look at the problems with using Excel for forecasting, and some of the alternative software tools available.

Some are add-ins for Excel, some separate software products. Some are certainly better than others.

One of the leading candidates, at least in they way it is being marketed, is Adaptive Planning. A product from the US, sales in the UK are being driven by a company in London called Clear Plan. Today I received an invitation to a seminar they are holding in Hyde Park Corner on the morning of Wednesday 15 September, 0900-1130 with breakfast at 0830. Whilst clearly a sales pitch, the agenda suggests there will be initial sessions on topics such as best practice. Details and registration.

What do you use for budgeting and planning? How happy are you with it?
