WHAT WE DO

Tailored solutions that meet your business needs

Custom Solutions

Processes often evolve in response to specific needs or out of tradition, leading to fragmentation. This fragmentation causes problems, such as difficulty retrieving accurate data, as users form silos to address system gaps, leading to organizational chaos that hampers efficiency.

We can help bring this chaos to order, relieve information bottlenecks, and integrate a custom interface with systems, allowing users to access the information they need, when they need it, and in the way they need it.

Consulting Services, Business Processes and Data Management

Most data within an organization is scattered about in ERP systems, spreadsheets, Access databases, and other sources, possibly unstructured or manual, making it often difficult to compile a complete picture of an organization’s financial health.

We can help you design a solid data and technology strategy to set the foundation for what comes next for your organization. If AI is in your sights, for example, here is where you begin to build that foundation to get the most out of AI.

Data Governance Tips and AI

“Data is the new oil,” said British mathematician Clive Humby in 2006. Most companies have not developed a data governance strategy. The issue is that they might not know where to begin or fully understand the importance of having a data governance strategy.

A good way to get started is to start at the end. What information do you want to see in your reports? What questions do you want answered in your data analytics? Now define a strategy to collect the supporting data. Consider all the sources that may hold that information and make notes of fragmented sources. An example is that key data is stored in multiple systems and must be compiled in or manually tracked in an Excel spreadsheet, for example.

Creating a data governance strategy is an investment in your company’s future, and research has proven that companies that adopt a data governance strategy are more profitable; however, commitment, patience, and perseverance will also be essential. The results will continue to help the organization year after year with minimal added investment, aside from a small team responsible for supporting the process and keeping the data governance plan current and on track.

If you don’t have an IT department or internal resource with data management expertise, seek assistance from a professional to help get you started. It shouldn’t require an ongoing engagement, just enough to get you on the right track and support the process as needed.

Get A Grip on Apps – Digital Tool Fatigue

Studies show that employees experience “Digital Tool Fatigue” due to the numerous applications and software systems within an organization that are not integrated, resulting in confusion and frustration for employees, and in many instances, creating extra work for them. Not to mention the cost of keeping the licenses.

Now is the best time to develop guidelines for implementing software and to require a process for vetting and evaluating new software. The savings and process enhancements are invaluable.
Make this a part of your data governance team’s responsibilities as a more comprehensive strategy for improving technology in the workplace.

What Does This Do? Software Optimization

Software underutilization is common, unfortunately. A significant amount of profit is lost due to this problem, which is found in most organizations. What is software underutilization? Software underutilization is when a system is poorly configured for or misaligned to the business needs. Insufficient training also contributes to inefficient use. Also known as garbage in, garbage out.

Signs that your system may be underutilized?

  • Data is missing from fields or entered with inconsistencies.
  • Reports are not accurate or are missing information
  • Users are not adequately trained.
  • Spreadsheets and other tools are needed to track information that should be in the current system, but doesn’t have a way, or no one was properly trained.
  • Features in the system are not used or understood, resulting in a user spending more time to do a task rather than utilizing the automation features.
  • Data entry is cumbersome and/or not properly validated.
  • Some companies blame the current system and then seek to replace it with a different one, only to perpetuate the problem by not properly defining the needs of the business and not asking for input from end users or properly training them.

Before replacing any system, a thorough internal discussion and analysis should take place to understand the business's needs and the issues with the current system. Document the processes and workflows and engage the end users for feedback.

Reach out to the vendor and verify whether the system can be optimized better to meet the needs of end users and process requirements. If not, begin the process of evaluating other systems. As part of a broader, more comprehensive technology governance strategy, develop a plan to evaluate current or new software. Conducting a thorough business process evaluation of key areas within your organization will help you select the right system and maximize its benefits.

How do you create the right solution for clients?

The process will vary depending on the nature of the client’s request. If it is just consulting services, we establish the area to be reviewed and devise a plan.

The amount of time required will vary depending on the project, but the scope of work will include the estimated time to complete the project. Throughout the project, we will update the scope as needed and adjust the completion time as necessary.
