The partnership between providers of Performance Management / BI technology and business consulting partners offers companies an optimal solution for their financial controlling needs. By combining technological innovation and business expertise, companies can enhance their performance, minimize risks, and ensure long-term success.
"Many can introduce a BI technology, but a functional controlling system that relieves departments and optimizes processes is the masterpiece."
“It has always been clear to us that we want to offer the best of both worlds. Modern, flexible technology and business model contents plus consulting. We have a customer’s perspective and are technology-independent, thus neutral. This allows us to advise prospects on the best technology for their specific use case. This has proven to work many times,” says Alexander Hein, CEO of smartPM.solutions,
“We work daily in the technologies and know every advantage and disadvantage. Experience has simply taught us that the controlling platform is an important component – but the skillful implementation from a business perspective remains the most important success factor for digitalization in controlling. Many can introduce a technology, but a functional controlling system that relieves the FP&A department and optimizes processes is the masterpiece.”
The FP&A technology providers Acterys/MS Power BI, Jedox, SAP, and Unit4 keep bringing smartPM on board to offer the right business content for Controllers.
This year, leading technology providers once again recognize smartPM.solutions as a strong and reliable development and implementation partner. They certify the team at the highest partner levels: Gold Partner with Jedox, Elite Partner with Unit4 FP&A, Silver Partner with SAP SAC (a new partner!), and MS Power BI Acterys Top Partner. Few can match this achievement so quickly.
Especially noteworthy is the enhancement of these core technologies in terms of business value. Ready-to-use, field-tested models from smartPM – such as Integrated Financial Planning, Project/Portfolio Controlling, Sales Controlling, S&OP Management, or Sustainability Controlling – are integral components of the technology and have been precisely developed to meet the needs of Controllers.
Practically speaking, one benefits from a template solution that only needs configuration. This is also financially appealing, as it eliminates many consulting hours and one’s own time spent building content. The focus then shifts solely to optimizing for one’s specific use case.
"Many controlling departments are approaching us with failed projects ...."
Here are 4 reasons why the collaboration between a technology provider and a consulting partner is optimal for customers:
We remain committed to quality – that's a promise.
We stand for the highest quality as a strong development and implementation partner of our four core technologies.
We ensure this commitment to quality with competent contacts before, during, and after the project. The satisfaction ratings of our customers justify this trust: 4.9/5 stars for project quality – and 6.8/7 stars for support results.
