Business Process Improvement

Business Process Improvement is measuring how a business process or function is performed today,  finding and fixing the root causes, and implementing an improved scenario.

  • Reduce Your Operating Costs
  • Increase Productivity
  • Streamline Key Reports

IT Strategy

IT Strategy is based on a holistic operational process approach and includes the analysis to make a solid Buy verus Build decision.  The alternative paths need to be well-defined, fact-based, and should utilize a best practice business case technique taking the needs of all stakeholders into consideration.  A sensible amount of quantification helps you make sure IT dollars are not wasted and in fact that they are most effectively spent. We can mentor our client’s lieutenant level staff on this so they can do it themselves or we’ll do this part on our client’s behalf behind the scenes.

  • Requirements based on process needs and a solid Buy versus Build analysis
  • Knowledge of Industry Packages
  • Creation of a sensible enterprise Roadmap from our independent perspective

Implementation

Implementation is good project management to deliver the systems and/or business process improvement on time and on budget.

  • End-to-end implementation and installation of banking systems
  • Post-live support
  • Extensive user training and documentation
Here are some examples of how you can benefit from our skills and experience with information technology in the banking industry:
  • We know banking, so you don’t have to teach us your business.
  • We know banking, so we can speak your language and translate among your users, management, and “techies.”
  • We have knowledge about the vendor software packages that are available in the industry and can help save your valuable time and to avoid wasted effort.

  • We negotiate on your behalf very effectively, thus saving you money.
  • We can help you plan ahead and define your budget, so you know what you’re up against before you start or continue down a risky path.
  • We are not biased towards any particular banking software package or technology, so we’re working on behalf of your best interests.
  • We’ll manage your IT vendors for you in a structured way to make sure they fulfill their promises to you.
  • We’ll architect a solution that works for you by seeing the whole picture. Both your goals and technology constraints need to be considered.
