Filed under: Uncategorized — aumembers @ 4:02 am

READING, UK. – 1st October, 2007 - FISCAL Technologies, providers of world class duplicate payment detection software and services, today announced that it has released version 2.0 of its specialist recovery audit software Duplicate Payment FinderTM.

Duplicate Payments FinderTM is an innovative software application which identifies potential duplicate payments in accounts payable data from suppliers. Using improved, proven proprietary search algorithms and sophisticated pattern matching techniques (patent pending), the programme generates a detailed report of duplicate payments. With version 2.0 it now incorporates a number of new features as well as a redesigned, more intuitive, user menu. With a refined database storage facility it allows customers to process over a 1,000,000 payment transactions per year if required.

FISCAL’s Director of Solution Development, Lesley Reeve, says “we have built in the new features based on the last 12 months of customer feedback. The user interface had the biggest overhaul, as we needed the flexibility to add new functionality without compromising its speed and simplicity. Many of our actual end-users are Accounts Payable & Audit administrators so ease of use is paramount.” Reeve also adds “in line with our new marketing programme, we have ramped up our development programme over the last 6 months and are now working on a number of exciting new projects that will benefit our customers significantly in 2008.”

David Griffiths, Director of Customer Development states “We are really pleased with version 2.0 and currently rolling it out to our customer base in the Europe and US. Those with maintenance will get a free of charge upgrade”. He also comments “So far initial customer response have been promising and we are working on a number of customer case-studies”

FISCAL Technologies is the only organisation in Europe to focus solely on duplicate payment detection software. Duplicate Payments FinderTM has been used by large organisations successfully for the last 5 years to analyse & check 100 hundred’s of millions of supplier payments for dupes

Get Your Office Move Wrong and It Can Cost You Millions (0 Comments)

I have been working in this field for 25 years, and I am constantly surprised by the naiveté of companies in the way they go about moving office, and the costs they are ultimately willing to commit over 10-15 years without having any idea of what they’ll need in terms of office design and build, and how critical that decision will ultimately be in the development of the business.

Office space is expensive! Get it wrong, and you will literally be paying for it for years. Your staff will be unhappy, demotivated by their surroundings, and in the long run, your business cannot reach its potential.

Consider the long-term costs to the business of acquiring a building with too much – or even too little – space. If you were to consider current rental costs in London’s West End, they’re in excess of £100, £115, £120 per square foot, and the cost of getting it wrong over 15 years could be £800 or even £1500. Multiply that by 10,000 sq ft, and you’re talking about massive overpayments of £16m before office design costs..

Let’s stick with smaller 15-year terms and suggest that £50 a square foot is a middle income rent. If you took £50 per square foot for a 5000 sq ft building and get it wrong by say, 10%, the cost overrun will be £5m over a ten year term, or £7.5m over a 15-year term.

Being active makes a person healthy and strong. People workout for 3 reasons; The first is that the person is overweight and the only way to lose those extra pounds will be to reduce ones calorie intake and at the same time workout in the gym.

A person can consult with a dietitian or a health professional to really help plan a good diet program. A good diet should have food from all the food groups. The second is fat which can come from mono and poly saturated food sources rather than animal fats. Most people smoke and drink.
