THE COMPANY
As accountants ourselves, we have lived through the nightmare of trying to use spreadsheets to manage the financial performance of a business and plan the future, so you can be confident in our ability to understand the challenges that you are facing - we've been there, done that.
For over 30 years, we have maintained key business relationships with our clients. Originally starting our business as IBM Cognos TM1 partners and resellers, we developed our services further with the introduction of IBM Planning Analytics, and quickly earned a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable in Europe. All of the consulting team are today capable of delivering IBM Planning Analytics solutions.
Since then, we have further developed our offering to include alternative best-of-breed Financial Performance Management software vendors in order to provide a compelling choice of software options that we have selected as being appropriate for a wide range of requirements and budgets. These now include Vena Solutions and Fluence Technologies.
Systems Integrators
We help finance departments implement and integrate systems to plan, monitor and model their organisation's financial and operational performance and we have an enviable reference list of long-standing blue chip clients.
We offer a full range of services from design through to development and training, and our dedicated support desk can provide both standard software support and more sophisticated application support where required.

What people are saying about InfoCat's services
With thanks to our valued clients for all their kind words.
''InfoCat came highly recommended by IBM, and when we met with the InfoCat consultants on site for the first time we immediately saw why. We were very impressed with how knowledgeable the InfoCat team was, and the fact that they really took the time to understand the business objectives behind our reporting project.”
Miki Travel“Just as we kicked off the TM1 implementation project we embarked on a significant strategic acquisition which limited the availability of key resources. InfoCat recognised the split priorities we were facing and with their support and flexibility we were still able to have the system available for key milestones e.g. budget planning.”
Mark Leeder Head of FP&A, Marshall Motor Holdings plc"Can I just say what a pleasure it is to work with InfoCat. The project was completed on time with no overspend."
