With the experience, we will support you every step of the way.

Development of Grand IT Designs

Consultation Overview

Information systems are now widely used in business activities regardless of the fields, as more companies adopt them.

In many cases, these information systems have been planned, studied, and implemented for individual operations, departments, or organizations. Such systems may be optimal for individual entities, but very often not the best as a whole. Sometimes companies face changes in management needs, organizational structures, or market environments, or they are required to improve efficiency and reduce technological costs. At such times, they need to reform their existing systems or technological infrastructures, and drawing a solid grand design for the reform becomes essential. However, when systems or infrastructures are so individualized and complex, it often poses difficulties to perform this critical task.

Our consultants will make the best proposal for your individual systems to solve apparent problems. On top of that, we will examine an entire flow of your operations from beginning to end, evaluate an optimal flow as a whole, determine hurdles and even potential problems to eliminate, and then formulate a grand design for you.

Clients

Companies that are considering organizing, reevaluating, or renewing their overall information systems (operational systems).

Request for Proposal (RFP) Documents

Consultation Overview

Problems associated with system development are often attributed to improper requirement development and preparations. To avoid such problems and achieve successful system development, more user companies today are opting to prepare a RPF before implementing a system.

Our consulting members, led by certified public accountants with technological expertise, will carefully analyze what your operations and systems are and what they should be (including BPRs) to formulate a RFP for you.

After creating a RFP, we will further support you with software vendor selection and/or system design (for defining requirements). We will be the bridge between you and a vendor and work from your standpoint. You will save time and money with us because we will remove unintentional omissions or errors in requirements and prevent problems to happen later during a system development stage. With us, your system implementation will be highly satisfactory.

Clients

Companies that are considering implementing a new system or replacing an existing system.

Business Process Reengineering (BPR)

Consultation Overview

In our consultation and support on BPR, with a main focus on accounting operations (financing, non-consolidated and consolidated accounting, and disclosures), we carefully analyze your operations in details, visualize them, determine hurdles, and propose you the most efficient flow of the operations.

Clients

Companies that are considering improving their accounting operations (financing, year-end closing, and disclosure).
