Our Services For
Finance Executives
ElevatIQ services for Finance Executives include business process re-engineering, documentation, and improvement; change and project management; post-merger integration, ERP, CPM, and FP&A selection and implementation; and managed services.
Business Process Re-engineering
Our business process re-engineering services help are especially helpful for finance executives that might be outgrowing non-standard, heavily customized, or legacy ERP systems. Our process of re-engineering services starts with an assessment, with a thorough analysis of current data and systems, followed by a site visit and interviews with stakeholders. Once the changes are identified and agreed upon, as-is and to-be models are built, along with the training and governance materials that teams can use.
Change and Project Management
This service helps finance executives in managing any transformation initiative, whether they are making process or system changes. The change process has three major steps preparing for change, managing change, and reinforcing change. Each of these steps has a deliverable, such as a business case, implementation roadmap, training plan, engagement model, and change governance plan.
ERP Implementation
This service helps finance executives when they have already decided on the ERP system they would like to implement. ElevatIQ can help whether you want ElevatIQ to implement the ERP or act as the client-side project manager. Our implementation process takes a comprehensive approach, not just focusing on the ERP implementation. But also building the entire architecture.
Managed Services
This service provides most finance tech stack support services for a fixed monthly fee, whether you need help with support with your ERP, CPM, or FP&A systems, as well as with master data governance. This service is also very useful when you need consulting expertise at manageable, fixed monthly costs.
Business Process Improvement
This service helps finance executives in hitting a specific KPI such as the amount of waste, inventory turns, or demand forecast accuracy. Through the root cause analysis of current data and processes, an as-is and to-be plan is built. Using an MVP approach, an initial pilot is created to understand the impact of the change, followed by continuous monitoring and improvement.
Post Merger Integration (PMI)
This service helps finance executives when they might need help with pre-diagnosis of technical risks, strategy for consolidation, or consolidating the system footprint post-merger. This helps companies reduce the system footprint and streamline processes, as well as remove data siloes and improve operational efficiency as they get ready for the next phase of their growth.
ERP Project Recovery
It’s very common that the ERP implementation would have substantial issues with implementation due to the overengineering of components or processes. The service helps finance executives clarify the architecture, remove overengineered processes and data, remove any unnecessary customizations, and rebuild the architecture designed to scale.
Business Process Documentation
This process helps finance executives reverse engineer the processes deeply buried in business systems. This exercise is helpful for companies that are building operational capacity plans for the next phase of their growth. The process is then followed by the to-be process models, comparing the changes and investment that would be required to grow to the next inflection point.
ERP Strategy and Selection
Our ERP Strategy and Selection services help finance executives with an assessment of the current pain points with the current systems and existing ERP. The assessment results in building high-level as-is and to-be processes and change management and process reengineering recommendations. This phase is then followed by RFP development, vendor demonstrations, and finally, vendor negotiations.
ERP Optimization
This service helps finance executives in optimizing the performance of an ERP. The poorly implemented ERP may have performance issues such as customers taking more than 15 mins to retrieve a record, the planning not being aligned with operations, or BOMs not being consistent with the needs of the production floor.
