Systems that enhance performance
All business runs on systems and processes. Some are clearly defined and others operate more by “gut feel”. Which systems are the biggest levers for improvement?
Where systematising makes sense
Not all change creates enough upside to justify the investment of time, attention and resources. Look for areas where variance is high, customer service is impacted, volumes of information are managed or downside risk is elevated.
Advanced Data Analytics
What valuable insights exist within my current systems, documents, databases and spreadsheets that with data analytics would lead to better informed and quicker decision-making?
When unlocked the intelligence constrained within physical or digital documents provides a tool that saves organisations time and money.
Another set of hands
Workflow systems and automation often deliver the benefits of “another set of hands” in the organisation – No sick days, does not need lunch breaks, and without boredom-induced errors. Freeing up staff for higher value tasks or simply lifting productivity.
Cyber Security & Workflow
SAAS workflow and automation platforms bring together business information in a structured way. This allows vital and confidential information to be secured.
When you shine a light on systems, you will discover lurking in the shadows of most commercial and not for profit organisations an array of spreadsheets, bespoke databases, legacy applications, apps and sites. Most often these are not recorded, unmanaged, not secured or backed up … in short the information within them is at risk.
Moving away from the “Shadow IT” approach that often evolves allows organisational intelligence to be managed, protected and preserved.
