10 January 2013 - Advanced Business Solutions (Advanced) has reached the final of the Business Finance Awards 2013 with two separate products – Collaborative Planning and eFinancials.

Advanced’s budgeting and forecasting solution, Collaborative Planning, and financial management system, eFinancials, have both been shortlisted in the Software Product of the Year category. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony held at The Millennium Mayfair Hotel, London on 6 March 2013.  

The Business Finance Awards 2013 are the leading awards for UK Finance Directors, their teams and their suppliers. Via an extensive judging process, the awards recognise individuals, teams and businesses that have demonstrated success and innovation over the last 12 months.

To reach the final in the Software Product of the Year category, Advanced had to demonstrate that its products provide high levels of customer satisfaction and deliver design quality, sophisticated functionality and technical innovation.

Dean Dickinson, Managing Director of Advanced Business Solutions (Public Sector & Enterprise Division) says, “Reaching the final of these awards with two separate products is testament to the importance we place on customer care and the flexibility and innovation of our software.”

Collaborative Planning is a web-based solution that delivers accurate and transparent budgeting, forecasting and planning information while providing real-time access to spending data.
