Monthly Stock Reviews - March 2006
Stockbrokers WH Ireland recently reviewed their corporate image with Electrum's print partners Perivan.

Electrum was on hand to help them through this change and supplied an advanced set of Microsoft Office templates, which they used to produce a 50-page print-ready document with detailed stats and charts on 64 stocks, all meeting the new corporate design guidelines. The system reduces timescales and costs, while increasing quality and consistency.
Benchmarking - January 2006
Electrum recently completed further enhancements to MilkBench, a benchmarking system used by dairy farmers in England and Wales.
Milkbench is based on a generic benchmarking toolset that consists of a web interface, an underlying database and a reporting engine. The toolset can be used on its own or customised to create a bespoke system for benchmarking risks, measuring performance and quality, etc.
The toolset is easy to use, requires no installation and is available on a low-cost, pay as you go basis. Users determine what needs to be benchmarked and the tool produces comprehensive reports, which can be downloaded for inclusion in other reports and further analysis.
A more comprehensive paper on benchmarking is available from here.
