HOLZER & Associates Services
Technology and data management relates to the Business Intelligence (BI), Data Warehousing (DWH) and CPM Corporate Performance Management (CPM) architecture and interconnectivity of IT systems responsible for supporting strategy execution within an organisation.
The efficiency of decision making is based on the quality, relevance and timeliness of information reported to key individuals. The BI systems in place takes care of capturing, recording and analysing the data accumulated for conversion into useful information for decision making and performance management.
The critical component of any BI/DWH/CPM architecture will be the tools selected to fulfill the reporting requirements. HOLZER & Associates Ltd has wide and neutral experience with all the major suppliers with reference to BI/CPM selection, implementation and project management. Emphasizing top-down leadership and a strong governance framework to address BI/DWH/EPM’s requirement of a cultural shift from managing by reports and numbers to managing by influencing changes in actions and behaviours.
Your organisation’s mission is the driving force behind everything you and your staff seek to achieve. EPM will look to not only align strategic objectives upwards, but critically downwards throughout the entire organisation, right down to every employee.
The unique approach chosen by HOLZER & Associates Ltd balances the importance of strategy development against execution by keeping focus and alignment through six key enablers:
- Data (Sources and Targets)
- Processes
- Business Cycles and Timeframe
- Organization and people
- Location
- Goals and Prioritization
While strategy development is the natural starting point of BI/DWH/CPM, HOLZER & Associates Ltd recognizes it as the start of a continuous loop.
Each individual is accountable for strategy execution but our Program Management Services oversee the alignment of all management processes within strategy. It safeguards the strategic focus and alignment within the entire organisation. BI/DWH/EPM processes included:
- standardizing and developing unified reporting
- safeguarding change processes
- maintaining and improving data quality
We consider activities as series of end-to-end processes, e.g. Strategy to Plan rather than discrete activities like strategic planning, budgeting, etc. It advocates the translation of strategy into tangible metrics, measured and forecasted into the future and ultimately into the reward culture of the organisation to create and deliver value.
The idea is to promote a clearly defined business reference model describing the information needed to drive the business underpinned by a robust, integrated technology framework. The information platform within the framework serves as a data repository linking the EPM & BI applications to the diverse transactional systems within an organization.
Finally HOLZER & Associates Ltd will support you in focusing on identifying important metrics across the entire organization and linking operational performance to corporate strategy, so that operational stakeholders can understand their contribution to the global organization’s strategic performance.
