I was blown away and wanted to know why we didn’t have it sooner
I installed PowerBudget on the Parks Engineers machine yesterday and gave about 1 hours face to face training.
I was blown away and wanted to know why we didn’t have it sooner. It will save him 2 to 3 hours a week in his analysis of his financial position. He shook my hand when I went to leave. It has been very well received in the entire Engineering Division.

I am very happy with the performance and acceptance of PowerBudget as the primary tool for our Management Reporting
Just to re-iterate my earlier comments made on the phone, I am very happy with the performance and acceptance of PowerBudget as the primary tool for our Management Reporting both in the context of our Annual Budget preparation and subsequent monthly reporting to Council. The package has been rolled out to the organisation and it has a high level of user acceptance which we can judge by the automatic addition of the application to our Manager's and Team Leader's credentials as soon as they are given access to our corporate systems at the City of Whittlesea.
We have just completed the rates Brochure and media releases to complement the Budget document and this process was streamlined by the use of Power Trees which allowed us to translate the budget allocations against ledger accounts into the Key Strategic Activities contained in our Community Plan. Previously this involved the preparation of Excel spreadsheets and cumbersome linking and re-totalling of individual budgets. The risk in this was always that there was a lack of continuity between financial years as the exercise was conducted at the death knock with a very small window to validate and compare.
Power Trees has allowed us to create the link between the ledger and these Key Strategic Activities in a robust and timely manner which increases the confidence in the analysis provided to our Marketing Department and in turn to the Community. It is now an instant process instead of a time consuming and stressful one, exactly the outcome we sought from PowerBudget.

I just wanted to thank each of you for your efforts that have resulted in a very smooth implementation
We released the new PowerBudget reporting functionality to all users yesterday, and so far things are going very well. I'm sure we'll continue to talk to you as the need arises, but for the moment, I just wanted to thank each of you for your efforts that have resulted in a very smooth implementation. Thanks in particular to Shane for being very responsive and always delivering high quality work, and to Peter for doing a terrific job with the training. There was lots of positive feedback from those that attended training, and most people think PowerBudget is a huge improvement on Finance Web which they've used to date.
