More About Us

Our Latest Projects.


Explore our recent projects to get a sense of our experience across various industries and SAP functionalities. Each sector has its unique demands, focus areas, and ways of working, and we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to these nuances. The key to our success lies in truly listening to the customer's requirements, understanding their business processes, and collaborating to envision impactful improvements.

Throughout the project, we ensure that change management remains a central focus—helping the customer become a genuine part of the process and making the transition smoother by involving them every step of the way.

Tailored Finance Business Process Education.


Our recent finance business process training sessions were designed with a customer-centric approach, making it easier for participants to grasp the concepts. Each session was fully customized to the client, using screenshots from their own SAP system to ensure familiarity. The exercises were tailored to align with their specific business processes, and participants had the opportunity to apply what they learned directly in their own quality system, providing hands-on experience.

An additional benefit was the incorporation of real issues and challenges the client was facing, making the training highly relevant and practical. This personalized approach not only enhanced understanding but also increased the effectiveness of the training overall..

Our training sessions are thus fully customizable, allowing us to add topics based on your specific requirements. Below is an example of a structured multi-day finance training:.

Testimonials.


Customers and colleagues that worked with me gave their personal insight, which I would like to share.

William Madden

OpenText Technical Consultant and Business Process Analyst

I am fortunate to have worked with Vicky during a customization of the AB Inbev invoice processing system. At a functional level, Vicky knows the business process well. She has a strong sense of "where we are" and "where we want to be" during the project process. Vicky also knows her team well, which is vital and can also be difficult when you are working with members from across countries. During our project she knew exactly which technical questions to refer to me and which to refer elsewhere; she also took the extra time to ensure that all relevant parties had information which they could need. I would recommend Vicky for any financials related project going forward.
