PlanHQ Launches New Breed of Planning Software

PlanHQ Launches New Breed of Online Business Planning Software at DEMO Fall 2007
Helps small- to medium-sized businesses grow and achieve their plans

San Francisco, CA and Wellington, NZ, September 25, 2007 – This Wednesday at the DEMO Fall conference in San Diego, Plan HQ will officially launch its web-based business planning software on stage at 10am PT. PlanHQ is designed specifically to help small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) create, action, track and achieve their business plans.

Instead of relying on static documents or spreadsheets for formal business plans that are abandoned after completion, PlanHQ transforms an SMBs unstructured data into dynamic business tools for involving entire teams in the planning process. In addition to assisting startup entrepreneurs through initial launch, the PlanHQ program keeps your entire business focused on execution by setting actions, prioritizing work against goals and tracking progress based on financial projections.

“The problem with project management applications is they're too operationally-focused and it’s easy to get lost in the noise of messages and endless to-do
lists,” said Tim Norton, CEO of PlanHQ. “PlanHQ solves this by keeping you focused on where you’ve been, and where you're going as a business, ensuring everyone is always working to plan and achieving your company’s goals.”

PlanHQ provides simple visual indicators such as graphs and flow charts to track short- and long-term goals, competitive positioning, and overall progress. Several Venture Capital businesses, including hi-tech VC First Round Capital have started using PlanHQ to track their portfolio companies and work closer with management teams to stay on track.

Team members are reminded of, and held accountable for reaching targets, and board members, investors and advisers are kept informed with regular status reports. A completely up-to-date and comprehensive business plan with market analysis can be downloaded at any time as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF file.
