    Flex Financial (or Financial Flex)?

    A knob-head techie at one of the punters is causing problems. I’ve got an e-mailed from my guy asking if I’ve considered using Flex Financials (or it may be called Financial Flex) . I know what Flex is; it’s that stuff from Adobe. However, Google isn’t being of much help here and my guy has gone off somewhere and I don’t know if he’ll be back today.

    Has anyone heard of it? Is it some stuff that isn’t known to many people, or is it, as I suspect, Chinese whispers and it’s all a load of tulip? Either way, the answer is, ‘Frak off!”

    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        If it is then I'm even more confused.

        I think Flex is just the latest flavour to come out of their techie department. They will be off on to something else in a few weeks. I've got more than one punter to worry about so I tell 'em to shove it most of the time.

            Does he mean FlexCube?

            I don't know what your software does, but flexcube can be used to present your data pretty much however you want it - a bit like a pivot table in Excel but much shinier.

              I'm sure that he's got the wrong end of the stick. It was Adobe Flex he was on about, but I think he got blinded by the technobabble from their IT guys.

              Anyway, I'm not going to use it.

                It's funny, a lot of my fellow maths undergrads when I was a student went on to be accountants and one of them called accountancy "the anti-maths"

                  Flex is neat but I'm not aware of any official financial libraries for it... unless he's meaning Flex Charting components?
