Armstrong Consultants launches Custom Forms at Softworld 2007

Harpenden, UK - 1st October 2007 - Armstrong Consultants will be launching Custom Forms at Softworld Accounting and Finance Exhibition, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham from 17-18 October 2007. Working within Armstrong's own FocalPoint product, the creation of Custom Forms is a brand new development that will bring greater flexibility and freedom to a company's workflow.

FocalPoint is fast becoming the PSA software of choice for many businesses across the UK's professional services sector. It offers web-based modules such as project management, time recording, expense management, CIS, absence, as well as reporting.

Steve Berridge, Sales Director at Armstrong Consultants commented on the addition of Custom Forms to FocalPoint and the benefits of this new functionality: "Most organisations have some sort of spreadsheet that is used to capture business-specific information, such as an Accident Log, Accident Claim Forms, Safety / Risk Assessments, Employee Forms, etc. Many companies also have strict approval processes in place for the creation of new product part codes, customers, and suppliers. All of this can now be done in FocalPoint, and dependent on the type of form, can now link back into the customer, supplier or employee record."

Steve also explained the business benefits of Custom Forms. "They give customers the ability to design any forms they like within FocalPoint, and data can be captured in whatever way they need. Anything from drop-downs, tabs, fields, documents, attachments and notes - so it means the system is very configurable according to the customers' needs."

Custom Forms can link to other Custom Forms within FocalPoint, e.g., an Employee Form could hold all sorts of personal information about each employee, and could then link to another Custom Form such as a Job History Form (to access data on professional development, training courses), thus creating a tailored, web-based, HR system if required.

In addition Armstrong staff will also be demonstrating Access Accounting award-winning Dimensions, FrontRange's GoldMine CRM system and INVU document management on the stand.
