			<pubDate>Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:45:52 +0000</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[ Our latest Case Study describes how the time it takes Costcutter to build their sales cube was reduced from 18 hours to only 35 minutes, using Microsoft SQL Server R2, Analysis &amp; Reporting Services, Excel 2010 and Simpson Associates Information Services! This means that the cube can be refreshed more regularly and that changes can be made more reliably; the business now has the information it needs, when it needs it. In the words of Francis Barton, Head of IT: &quot;Simpson Associates were determined to find the right solution for us. They helped us consider all technical options, but more fundamentally, helped us to solve a business problem.&quot; Read the full story here: http://www.simpson-associates.co.uk/casestudy/view/case-study-costcutter. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The government has confirmed that the budget for the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) is to be slashed by &#163;915M over three years, reports the Times Higher Education, 4th January 2010. Paul Marshall, the Chief Executive of the 1994 Group of Smaller Research Universities, has said that these cuts would place an 'enormous burden' on the on-going review of Higher Education funding and student finances. Sir David Watson, Professor of Higher Education at The University of London, said that the impact of this 'at a detailed level,' is that there will be even greater competition for smaller pots of funding available through HEFCE, which will impact all Universities. Once again, the emphasis is on efficiency and savings and those organisations who can demonstrate University-wide audit ability and control of finances, student choice and student support will be better candidates for continued HEFCE support. Higher Education Institutions will be under even more pressure to deliver transparent and coherent information and to demonstrate well managed financial control. To find out how we are working with Universities to provide solutions that can contribute to the central management of student resources, financial management and information management and transparency, contact us today on 01904 234523.

			<description><![CDATA[The priorities for Universities were identified as being financial sustainability and improved communication(s) between organisational stakeholders, sponsors and central Management Information (MI) Teams. &quot;Internal customer expectations will be high, as we aim to generate sufficient resources to meet all the costs required to deliver services into the future.&quot; Derek Barton, Quaestor &amp; Factor, The University of St. Andrews. This year's annual UCISA conference was hosted by The University of St. Andrews and the keynote speaker was Derek Barton, Quaestor &amp; Factor (Financial Controller and Head of Estates). With worldwide economic losses approaching &gt;&pound;2.3trillion during this recession, Derek stated that: &quot;No wonder the UK economy is feeling the pinch, imagine that we have lost Oracle and Microsoft combined and then times that by eight, then we are getting somewhere near to the level of losses that we have been hit with in the UK. With this much money to recover and given the priority to provide basic resources across all sectors, Universities are likely to be a low priority in government terms. This will lead to tougher competition for investment from the Higher Education Funding Council (HEFCE), when data quality and the management of information become key.&quot; The focus of the UCISA event was Information Management. Derek concluded that the area where a University Systems Group can add maximum value in these tough economic times, is in improved communication and business liaison between University stakeholders and internal delivery teams. This will ensure that new investments in terms of Information Management meet the needs of the business users, which in turn align to a central information strategy. Simpson Associates offers a unique service in support of this direction. Our Solutions Architects 'bridge the gap' between stakeholders, users and delivery teams and have been deployed successfully at universities including: Cambridge University, the University of Nottingham, Sheffield Hallam University and London South Bank University. As a result of these engagements, stakeholders were 'engaged' and involved in the development process, their needs represented by us being involved. The result in every case was a successful project delivery, which met the technical, commercial and organisational needs of these establishments, as well as many satisfied users.
