Adaptive Planning has launched a new version of its on-demand performance management software suite. Adaptive Planning 5.5 contains a number of upgrades in the areas of collaboration, interoperability with other applications, and global accessibility. This version includes two new features: Cell Notes is a new interface that allows end users to add notes to individual data cells, and Audit Trail enables users to view and search the history of changes entered into any cell in the company’s plan. New data connectors facilitate the import of data from a variety of G/L systems and databases. In addition, a Web services API now supports automated import of information. To increase its global reach, version 5.5 supports the Firefox Web browser. And, Adaptive Planning says, by the end of this quarter the software will offer local-language interfaces, data entry options, and number and date formats for French, German, Spanish, and Japanese.
