bs propaganda?

It looks like a mobile phone web site, hardly the corporate image you would expect from a company plowing 300k in to their systems, or maybe it's just bs propaganda?

Shame on the design company...

£300k!!!!! Talk about being stitched up like a kipper, I could have done that for a fifth of the price, especially if I cut my hours down by ripping off design ideas from other established sources (not that I would of course)...

The new Parasol site design concept appears as if it has been ripped off from Orman Clarks Online Portfolio - http://www.ormanclark.com/ Deja vu anyone?

Whats that all about? You would think that if they spent that amount of money they could at least come up with their own unique corporate identity for the front end, not that it is very corporate in its current state...

timesheets and details fine, not business expenses submit

No problem for me on timesheets or my details, I quite liked the new system.

BUT here I am at nearly 1am trying to submit Jan, Feb and Mar expenses to print the cover sheets to put in an envelope to post tomorrow before going away on holiday and all I'm getting is blank pages

Bar Stewards!

Why do Parasol always make system changes near the end of the tax year. Sheer madness.

Phew, old one re-instated while 'dedicated IT Support Team' sort it out.

So it was well tested then!

My Parasol

The new 'add yer timesheets' portal on the Parasol site. Oh Lordy...

Proof that .NET re-writes (when there's nothing wrong with the old site) can be a bad thing.

Is this Bob Shawadiwadi's idea of April foolness?
