Agnostic Services

Our Best Practice Decision-Support Tools offer a Method-neutral approach (COBIT, TOGAF, BCG, Gartner, Zachman EA Framework™, Holzer & Zimmermann i-Transformation Framework™, Forrester, etc.) as well as a Vendor-neutral approach in order to determine the most appropriate technology, quantifying the added value generated that you might reasonably expect to obtain and creating an implementation blueprint addressing people, process and technology to ensure this return is obtained. Main questions to be answered: what, how, who, when, where, why (what for).

Automated business processes are managed collectively to improve your overall workflow in terms of achieving greater efficiency, adapting to changing business needs, reducing human error and clarifying roles and responsibilities

Internal and External needs

Most organizations prepare some type of financial reports, either for internal or external use. Common reports include balance sheets, general ledger reports, profit and loss statements, financial statements, and 10-K and 10-Q reports. In the wake of the 2007 banks scandal, external financial reporting requirements for Financial Services Companies have become more rigorous. The FINMA, SEC and other Regulatory Authorities now mandate that companies file a variety of reports to disclose their financial condition, and missed deadlines could result in fines.

Open Line communication

Giving vendor -neutral recommendations and delivering sound advices does not mean not having communication with vendors.

If you're able to get a sense and appreciation of what can be and needs to be done, as opposed to what you'd like to do, you've got far more opportunity to actually be reasonable and rational when you create your BI/CPM strategy!
