The figures are looking good

Article Abstract:

Desktop publishing (DTP) software provide accounting firms the ability to produce in-house documents that match the quality of those produced by printers and professional typesetting services. The question, however, is whether accounting firms should try to do take care of all their publishing requirements themselves. Most small and mid sized firms opt not to do so since desktop publishing often proves to be economically unviable for them. The principal reason for this is that operators of DTP packages need to have specialized training in skills such as graphic design, sub-editing and lay-out if they are to make effective use of these packages. Even large firms that have the resources to maintain a proficient in-house desktop publishing staff find that it may be necessary to make use of outsides sevices, particularly when the documents to be prepared need to be ready on short notice.

Article Abstract:

Gordon Welsby, Finance Director of office supplies maker Filofax PLC, is profiled. Filofax had been steadily successful but unspectacular from its founding in 1921 to the early 1980s. Filofax grew rapidly in the 1980s, partly due to the success of one of its products, a desk organizer, and partly due to a company reorganization. At the time Welsby joined the firm in 1985, however, the company had no formal accounting systems and no budget; the computer being used by the company for management reports was giving inaccurate information. Welsby describes how Filofax is streamlining its stock control and order processing systems, and how the company plans to expand in the UK and the US.

Article Abstract:

Conferences and exhibitions have different goals and methods although they are often thought to be the same industry. Exhibitions are generally marketing events, while conferences are information events. Each industry is growing and changing and must work to achieve defined goals. A chief goal in the exhibition industry is to reach clients more effectively, while the conference industry must adapt to shorter and smaller conferences.
