Why your business processes should start with Industry Standard Processes

In today’s dynamic business environment, efficiency and adaptability are key to staying competitive.

In today’s dynamic business environment, efficiency and adaptability are key to staying competitive. For many companies, this means re-evaluating and potentially overhauling their business processes. But does every company need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to creating optimal processes? The answer is a resounding “no.” Here’s why your business processes should start with industry standard practices.

1. Proven Efficacy

Industry standard processes have stood the test of time. They are a culmination of collective wisdom, lessons learned from failures, and best practices gleaned from success stories across the industry. Adopting these processes means benefiting from tried and tested methods that have been proven to work, minimizing the chances of costly mistakes or inefficiencies.

2. Immediate Functionality

One of the primary advantages of leveraging industry standard processes is the immediate functionality they provide. Best business systems are designed around these standard processes, ensuring that you can utilize a deep level of functionality right out of the box. Instead of spending months (or even years) tailoring a system to fit custom processes, companies can get started right away.

3. Minimized Maintenance Costs

Processes that deviate from industry standards can often require specialized training, bespoke software modifications, and continuous updates. All of these add to the cost of maintenance. On the other hand, systems built around industry standards typically have a wider pool of resources available. This means easier access to training, support, and updates, which invariably leads to lower long-term costs.

4. Simplified Scalability

Standard processes are designed with scalability in mind. As your company grows, the foundational processes you’ve adopted can easily be scaled up or adapted without massive overhauls. This simplifies the challenge of growth and ensures that your processes won’t become a bottleneck as you expand.

5. Reduced Business Complexity

Custom processes, while sometimes necessary, can introduce added layers of complexity into a business. This complexity can hinder clear communication, slow decision-making, and even introduce errors. Starting with industry standard processes helps in keeping the business model simple and straightforward, ensuring that everyone, from top-level executives to new hires, is on the same page.

6. Faster Onboarding and Training

With industry-standard processes in place, new employees are often already familiar with the way things work. This shortens the learning curve, reduces onboarding times, and ensures that your team can maintain high productivity levels even as new members join.

In Conclusion

While there’s always a place for innovation and unique business strategies, the foundational processes of a company are often best built on established industry standards. By leveraging the tried-and-true, businesses can hit the ground running, minimize costs, and focus on what truly sets them apart: their unique value propositions, products, and services. Embrace the wisdom of the collective and let industry standard processes be the springboard for your business’s success.

Driving Small Business Growth While Focusing on Core Competencies
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, IT strategy and digital transformation are no longer the exclusive realm of tech giants and large corporations. Even the smallest of businesses need a robust IT framework. However, not every company can afford or even requires a full-time Chief Information Officer (CIO) on their roster. Enter the concept of the “fractional CIO,” a model that is gaining traction and allowing businesses to punch above their weight class.
What is a Fractional CIO?
A fractional CIO is essentially a part-time executive who offers strategic IT guidance, aligns technology initiatives with business goals, and manages the company’s technology assets. Unlike a full-time CIO, a fractional CIO works on a part-time, contract, or retainer basis, offering the perks of top-tier tech leadership without the financial burden of a full-time executive salary.
Benefits and Advantages of a Fractional CIO:
  1. Focus on Core Competencies: Small companies thrive when they can concentrate on what they do best. By leveraging a fractional CIO, businesses can receive expert IT guidance without being distracted from their primary operations. The fractional model ensures IT strategy is in skilled hands, allowing businesses to focus on their core competencies.
  2. Financial Savings: Hiring a full-time CIO is a costly endeavor, with a significant salary, benefits, and onboarding processes. A fractional CIO provides strategic input and oversight without the associated full-time costs.
  3. Deferring Hiring Decisions: Especially in the early stages, startups and small businesses are in flux. The need for a CIO might be sporadic, intensifying during periods of major digital initiatives and ebbing in quieter times. By opting for a fractional CIO, companies can defer the decision of hiring full-time until it’s truly necessary.
  4. Rich Outside Perspectives: External consultants often bring a diverse range of experiences from working across industries and business models. A fractional CIO offers fresh eyes on old problems, often leading to innovative solutions that an internal team might overlook.
  5. Scalability and Future Growth: A strong IT strategy isn’t just about addressing today’s challenges—it’s about paving the way for future growth. With the insights from a seasoned CIO, even the smallest company can implement systems and technologies that are scalable and adaptable for significant expansion.
Setting the Stage for Tomorrow:
The shifting business paradigm means that even small companies must be forward-thinking, especially concerning IT and digital strategies. By embracing the fractional CIO model, these enterprises not only address their current needs efficiently but also set the stage for a robust and scalable future. The combination of cost savings, access to expert knowledge, and strategic growth planning makes the fractional CIO an invaluable asset in the toolkit of modern businesses. In an era where adaptability is key, fractional leadership might just be the secret weapon small companies need to compete in a big business world.

Need Of Prioritizing Treasury Solution
Continuous geopolitical instability, high inflation with pressure on foreign currency, and constant challenges with the supply chain have repeatedly highlighted the need for effective risk and cash management solution. Today’s key challenge for treasury organizations is to enhance visibility and optimize liquidity management with use of data. However, this is difficult with fragmented and standalone systems architecture and a lack of real-time data visibility across different parts of the organization. Hence, managing global risk remains a complex and resource-intensive process. The complexity and disparity of today’s realities must be urgently addressed. Resilience against multiple types of risk must be well embedded into treasury processes and system architectures to ensure robust financial management.
Treasury management processes built on top of Finance
Corporate Treasury function is increasingly viewed as ideal candidates for the initial phase of S/4 finance transformations. By prioritizing treasury solutions from the outset, organizations can significantly improve cash and risk management, enhance financial visibility, and improve the working capital requirements. Technologically, Corporate Treasury acts as a crucial hub, processing financial data recorded within the organization. This internal data is combined with external market information to generate strategic insights and support tactical decision-making. By leveraging advanced analytics and real-time data integration, corporate treasuries can identify trends, assess risks, and optimize cash flow management. This strategic intelligence not only strengthens the organization’s financial stability but also informs broader business strategies and operational decisions. This approach enables treasuries to lay a robust foundation for comprehensive financial transformation, ensuring a smoother transition and faster realization of benefits across the entire finance function.
S/4 HANA as The Powerhouse Of Key Global Treasury Management Processes
Identify The Right Deployment Plan
The scope and criticality, of course, depend on project specifics. However, the foundational scope for any corporate treasury typically includes delivering payments, Managing bank connectivity and communication and enhanced cash and liquidity reporting, as well as improving governance in areas such bank account master data (BRM). In the future, treasury can integrate more advanced functionalities, including a transactional hub, APM etc… As mentioned, the centralized nature of treasury often makes it an ideal environment. Various treasury processes, such as IHB, FX, hedge management, and risk analysis, can greatly benefit from leveraging the latest capabilities of S/4.
Having A Clear Vision
Creating a clear and practical vision for treasury systems is essential. Start by deciding how much you need to centralize processes to make them more efficient. Identify which third-party systems are needed to work well with S/4HANA. The success of the treasury solution greatly depends on these third-party integrations. It is crucial to onboard them early in the project and clarify all dependencies and alignments upfront. Review and update your risk management policy to handle current threats. Combining S/4HANA with a detailed transformation plan will bring the most benefits. This approach will help the treasury function better and meet its long-term goals more quickly.
Build A Flexible Delivery Model
We recommend a tailored approach to deliver treasury specific solution, ensuring alignment with your organization’s strategic goals and operational processes. Additionally, adopting an adaptable project methodology that accommodates your company’s requirements and considers third-party dependencies can help manage evolving needs and circumstances throughout the project lifecycle. Thus, SAP S/4 HANA streamlines treasury operations by enhancing financial visibility, optimizing liquidity management, and integrating real-time data for improved risk assessment.
