Using
On-the-Web models as benchmarks.
|
|
The On-the-Web version of
Insight provides access to the financial models of
selected listed companies, via Atac's website. Once
you've downloaded these models (use Insight On-the-Web's
"On-the-Web | Information Service" menu item), you can
benchmark your results against them using Insight's DELTA
facility - just as you can use Insight to compare any two
financial models.
The Q2 2001 Insight
Newsletter contained a quick run through of the steps
involved, you can read that newsletter from
here.

| Will Insight help
with my Cashflow? |
|
Insight
is the ideal tool for controlling Cashflow.
Simply
enter your financial forecast and Insight will calculate
the Cashflow that will result. You can then model your
worst-case, best-case (and anything in between) scenarios
and see exactly the effect they would have on
Cashflow.
If
you have a specific Cashflow target in mind, you can enter
that target and have Insight show all your options for
reaching it.

| Is buying over the
Web safe? |
|
Using
your Credit Card over the Web is at least as safe as using
it any other way.
Prior
to entering your credit card details, you'll be transferred
to a secure server, directly connected to the world's
major financial institutions. At no stage does Atac have
access to your credit card details, we are simply informed
by the secure server that the transaction has been
successful or otherwise.
Of
course if you still have any concerns and you'd prefer to
Fax or e-mail your credit card details, Atac will accept
orders by either of these means.

| What data do I need
for Insight? |
|
Insight
works at the Earnings and Balance Sheet level. All the
financial data required by Insight is available from any
standard set of financial accounts, and does not require
you to prepare any additional information.
Via
our On-the-Web Information Service, we provide Insight
financial models of selected listed companies for
benchmarking and analysis purposes. All of these models
are prepared from the published financial results of those
companies.

| How do I get my data
into Insight? |
|
There
are several methods to load financial data into Insight.
You
can can import directly from several other financial
products, including Solution 6's practice management
software. In addition, Insight will both import and export
data in comma-delimited format. It is common for
users to extract data from their accounting systems
into comma-delimited format and then import into Insight.
Insight
works on a total of approximately 30 numbers, with most
financial models using only about 20. In many cases it's
easier to enter the data manually - made even easier by
using Insight's "Accounts View" and "Data
Entry Advisor" facilities.
