Market Drivers
As a result of on-going growth strategies, many of our customers were able to extend their global
footprint. However, mergers and acquisitions, as well as green-field plant ramp-ups, often come alongside
with heterogeneous business process models and diverse IT landscapes. This diversity often causes
significant inefficiencies for operational processes and communication.
Our global business template toolkit supports our clients in solving these inefficiencies by creating a
sustainable globally harmonized business process landscape based on a unique toolkit consisting of a lean
template process library, unique template governance models, a proven process standardization procedure
and a successful and exclusive rollout approach. The approach promises a considerably high ROI for our
clients, which is captured and determined by a proven business case calculation model.
