Learn from the Economic Downturn and Maintain Control of Your Costs Says Atlantic Global

Following this week’s survey by Bank of America Securities Merrill Lynch, showing optimism for global economic recovery over the next year, Atlantic Global advise businesses not to forget the lessons from the economic downturn and employ a Time & Expense Management system to keep control of costs.

Cleckheaton, United Kingdom, August 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Atlantic Global, the specialist integrated business and people management software applications provider, have today advised that businesses should not lose sight of the importance of controlling costs, if the global economy begins to improve over the next twelve months.

The advice has been prompted by this week’s survey by Bank of America Merrill Lynch of over 200 fund managers, collectively responsible for over $5 billion, which shows greater optimism for an economic recovery within the next twelve months.

“The economic growth announced in Germany, France and Japan last week, combined with the Bank of America survey is very encouraging” said Rupert Hutton, Finance Director of Atlantic Global “but if these indicators prove to be valid, businesses should be careful not to quickly return to historic bad habits and should maintain and even improve their control on costs.”

Atlantic Global was launched 16 years ago to explore the possibility of developing a suite of low cost, yet high quality, business software products in the field of time management. Since then Atlantic Global’s solution portfolio has grown to include expenses management, resource management and project and portfolio management, amongst other functions all with the objective of helping organisations to control costs.

In order to advise organisations on how to stay in control of human resource effort and cost as well as expenses, Atlantic Global have released a free guide which explores the benefits of automating timesheet and expense capture, the savings which can be achieved, whether to choose a standard on-site implementation or a software-as-as-service (SaaS) option and many other related issues. (To download a free copy of the guide ‘Selecting and Implementing an Effective Time & Expense Management Solution’, please follow this link: http://www.atlantic-ec.com/contact.html?from=Implementation_Guide and register to access the digital assets area).

By employing a good timesheet management system and expenses management system, Atlantic Global argue that companies are ensuring that they safeguard their passage through an economic recovery and also maximise on their profitability as the recovery progresses.

“The survey showed that any recovery is predicted to be a slow process and there is also some uncertainty over how sustained and how steady the recovery will be.” continued Mr Hutton “In the last few months we have all learned the importance knowing where your costs are incurred and eliminating any waste. It is really important that businesses don’t fall into the trap of losing their grip on operational expenditure in the good times and the bad.”
