Enterprise Software Selection & Implementation
As a business
manager choosing your next main transactional system is one of the biggest decisions that you will ever take.
Cyprus has a record of failed Enterprise
Software implementations and many businesses are littered with systems that will never return on their investment. Unfortunately
it is a complex subject and vendors offer a bewildering array of platforms, interfaces and functionality. Much of the
functionality may look impressive but in a small country too often vendors simply do not have the
skills or the business understanding to employ these functions or often they will not have a real, practical
application in your business. In other cases the software has not been designed for your size of operation and you will never
be able to afford the resources to administer and support it.
At Locii we have experience of many Enterprise systems and can
offer independent advice on what your requirements realistically are, match these with the functionality offered by your target
systems and asses the skills of the implementation team.
Successful Enterprise system implementation must be approached
in a highly disciplined manner with detailed analysis and careful planning throughout. We have many years experience
of project managing transactional system implementations and have joined the implementation team or
taken on the project management role in several local implementations.
• Portfolio Analysis
Are you selling the right products to the right customers ?
We
all know that as a company adds more and more SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) it will eventually drown in its own complexity. On
the other hand if you only have one product and you add a second you will probably make more money.
Deciding which products to keep, which to drop, which to focus on and which
new ones to go for, is the most challenging subject any company faces.
Locii has years of international experience at Portfolio planning. Whilst
we have worked with one of the world’s largest companies in this area at the same time have completed projects with
several small Cypriot companies and can offer rapid, cost effective advice relevant to the Cypriot market.
• Planning and Forecasting
Most
products in Cyprus are imported and therefore have long and irregular lead times. It is evident from observing supermarket
shelves that many companies are constantly going through out of stock and overstock cycles. This leads to lost sales, customer
dissatisfaction, out of date stock, and adds complexity and frustration across the organization. With consumers
demanding more variety, increasing levels of promotional activity and product shelf life reducing, these problems are only
going to increase for Cypriot businesses.
At Locii we believe that excellent planning and forecasting systems will be one of the key factors that will determine
which companies survive in Cyprus as the presence of the multinationals increases.
Locii advises some of the biggest companies in
Cyprus in the areas of Planning and Forecasting.
• Financial & Management Reporting
Operating a company without management reporting is like
flying a plane without instruments.
At Locii we have experience at advising on and setting up management
and financial reporting systems in companies of all sizes. We concentrate on practical solutions that fit the company size
and budget. This can range from simple spreadsheets to complex KPI (Key Performance Indicator) reporting, business dashboards,
multi dimension financial reporting and forecasting.
