Software Objectives

As Peter Drucker says in Management Challenges for the 21st Century, “Until a business returns a profit greater than its cost of capital, it operates at a loss… until then it does not create wealth; it destroys it”

The objectives of Capex® Value Analyser™ are :

- Promote the strategic use of capital resources to grow shareholder value


- Provide highly automated, independently audited and extremely dynamic spreadsheet software which serves as
  an accurate and consistent modelling tool for many different types of appraisals. To cater for all capex evaluations as
  well as provide a consistent platform for ‘buy verses lease’, asset lifecycle optimization, business valuations, and
  depreciation forecasting.


- Automatically account for all depreciation and tax implications for the above applications based on country
  specific tax regimes.


- Integrate many enabling tools for users, to assist in the allocation of resources to best effect and for project
   risk assessment.


- Integrate best practice management policies, procedures and templates, so that these are accessible right at
  the point of use.


- Enhance quality standards in relation to capex proposals, through use of a system which generates many
   prompts and warnings.


- Integrate simple to use priority setting software tools for ‘must-do’ capex sub-categories. These tools must be objective so
   that ‘needs’ are scored ahead of ‘wants’.


- Provide on-line training resources and help tools to enable non-accountant users to prepare expert
   business cases – with ease.


- Provide an integrated system which enables workflow, collaboration and on-line approval of capex submissions.
   To provide approval status reporting and timeframe monitoring and exception reporting. To supply this facility either
   as a Software as a Service (SaaS) application or alternatively, via the client’s Intranet.
