Gloucester Council targets budgeting system

Gloucester City Council has implemented a new budgeting and forecasting system in an effort to improve processes.

The software has helped the council to reduce its budget loading time "from ten days to just minutes" and to better monitor, evaluate and improve its financial performance by replacing spreadsheets.

Janet Parrott, financial planning accountant at Gloucester City Council, said: "It used to take several members of the finance team over a week to complete their budget loading by collating information from various Excel spreadsheets. This process was extremely inefficient, prone to errors and didn't provide us with an accurate picture of our finances."

The web-based Advanced Business Solutions (ABS) budgeting and forecasting system has been integrated into Gloucester City Council's existing ABS financial management system.

The additional system enables the creation and real-time monitoring of financial plans and forecasts. Budgetary information can be quickly extracted, consolidated and reported to authorised users, eliminating time-consuming manual processes and the consolidation of spreadsheets.

Parrott said, "ABS' system has helped to increase financial transparency and visibility at every stage of the budgeting cycle. With quicker access to financial data in a user-friendly format, this has assisted us to more accurately budget against government performance targets whilst ensuring greater financial control and improved decision making."

Other organisations using ABS systems include WH Smith, Royal Bank of Scotland, Aer Lingus, National Express Group, DFS, and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust.

Before purchasing another mist or smoke collector that requires replacement filters and that you will have to pay someone to regularly maintain, contact AER Control Systems LLC.  Their AER Disk Pack mist and smoke collectors are setting a new and unparalleled standard in the industry and to the meaning of “going green.”  Powered by the patented technology of Teslaira, this air cleaning equipment uses a set of precisely manufactured and spaced disks to create a boundary layer that repels contaminants from the air stream.  At 99.9% efficiency, the disk pack eliminates the need for other filter media within the equipment for most applications.     If you’re thinking, “Oh yeah – I’ve seen this sort of thing in other manufacturer’s equipment”, you may want to think again.  Originally developed for the US Department of Defense, this technology to-date has been in the market for evaluation purposes only, although it has been tested in dozens of different applications and by different metal working companies.  It has just this year become available to the industry on a commercial basis through AER Control Systems.   

Using Boundary Layer Momentum Transfer technology, or BLMT – the patented scientific principal behind the Disk Pack, this air cleaning equipment can be used for a wide range of applications without changing filters.  Because it is NOT centrifugal technology but IS particle exclusion technology, it performs equally as well on a variety of contaminated inlet stream regardless of whether they contain water soluble coolant, straight oil or oily smoke.  The AER Disk Pack also uses a Deadzone Shroud™ to improve equipment drainage and equalize flow, further enhancing equipment performance.  

According to John Dixon, President of AER Control Systems, “the use of BLMT technology in the air cleaning industry is a paradigm shift and the most significant advancement in this industry in decades.  It IS the way that future filtration will be accomplished.  And because the cost of the equipment is comparable to older traditional mist and smoke collection technologies, it will have a tremendous positive financial impact for metal working companies and our environment.
