What's Included?
In order for any project to be successful, there needs to be a clear understanding of what is being built and how it will change your current environment. The first step in any project is defining a documented scope and desired future state that everyone can follow the same direction towards. We provide clarity around your project, define what the project should look like, quantify your key pain points, and create a Business Value Analysis to help you prioritize on the values that matter most to you.

Assessment Workshops
Remember the last time you had to make a list of everything that was wrong with your organization?. You probably found yourself overwhelmed by everything you needed to do, and everything you needed to fix. You probably felt like there was no way you could get it all done, and that you didn't even know where to start.
That's why we created these workshops. We want to help you get a better understanding of the challenges your business faces—and then help you prioritize them so you can start tackling them in the right order.
Executive Session
We outline all your business pains: what are you doing wrong, what are you missing out on and what you wished could be done better internally or externally. We then look at value: how much is each pain costing you? Then we came up with actionable technology strategies that would help alleviate those pains and get you to your desired future state. Lastly, we take a look at what KPI’s (key performance indicators) are most important for your organization.
Order to Cash
An organization’s "order-to-cash" process is vital to its success. it's what makes a business money and how a business builds customer relationships. The O2C process is made up of tasks that are performed by various departments within an organization. Because of its central role in every company’s success, we review your O2C process to make sure it is efficient as possible, define Key KPI’s and determine your desired future state.
Purchase to Pay
Purchase to Pay is the end-to-end process of purchasing and paying for goods. An efficient P2P process leads to greater control over the management of suppliers, which results in reduced costs for the organization and improved customer service. In this workshop we will explore Core Processes, E-Purchasing, AP Automation, Budgeting, Contingent Workforce Management, Dynamic Discounting and Supplier Information Management / Registration, Employee Expense Management and payments.
Inventory Cycle
Inventory management is often overlooked, but represents one of the most valuable tools in growing your business. The inventory cycle is a time-based process which allows you to maximize resources and cash flow. This workshop will explore ordering, production and delivery and gain an understanding of the inventory cycle in relation to its impact on potential gross margin and spend. We will look at current KPIs and create new objectives to focus on like reducing stockouts or reducing inventory cycle by X days.
Back Office (Finance/HR/Other)
The back office is the part of your business that's behind-the-scenes. It's where you keep track of the things that keep your company running, like keeping track of customer information, cash flow, and payroll. In this workshop we will evaluate the fiscal period processes, cash flow analysis, banking, accounts payable, and account receivable.
Systems, Integration, Data
Integration of systems, data, and processes is a key component of any successful business. In this workshop, we will review the key business systems that have been implemented at your client and how they are integrated with each other. We will also define the integration requirements at a conceptual level. Finally, we will discuss data conversion and migration best practices.

Desired Future State
