CRM Dashboard serves Luxury

A customer in Luxury Consumer Goods approached us to automate and simplify their CRM reporting processes. After a short audit, we realized their current ways of working involve far too many manual processes and heavily relies on excel with macros, which were not a match for the large amount of data they were processing daily. After a strategic brainstorming we defined a new process for data acquisition, storage, and processing leveraging PowerBI. Total cost : 5 days of consulting. Total time saved : more than 25 days of data crunching per years.

Business Intelligence 4 Pharma

Posted creaXum

A large pharmaceutical actor took the strategic decision to move their BI platform to the SAP suite.  As SAP BI experts, we ramped up both the local and the off-shore in India, bringing in ready-to use best practices and ways of working.  They were so delighted with the results, they extended the original 3 month assignment over, and over again for 6+ years.

Banking Project Management

This was quite a large one.  We were in charge of 7+ Mio CHF over 2.5 years.  This means 3 releases of a critical Bank application. Up to 13 persons under our direct responsibility.  Accountable for scope, budget, relation with stakeholders and suppliers. To be honest, we were quite happy to take a break at the end of the project.  Oh, did I mention we finished on time, within budget, all three releases ?

Project Management under pressure

When we asked to turn around a failing SAP BW project, delivering the remaining 60% of the original scope with only 40% of the original budget, we knew we were in for quite a challenge. But that only made us more interested in raising up to the challenge. Thanks to tight but collaborative project management and minor changes in the team,  we managed to stay in time, in budget.  Much to our customer’s delight, obviously.
