Case Study

The Problem

• Rigid legacy systems had spawned complex, time-consuming, Excel-based procedures that were unable to scale
   

• Reconciliation processes were at breaking point owing to very large amounts of data being handled in Excel
   

• Delivery of value was urgent to relieve over-stretched resources

Our Solution

• Focus on business value of processes (rather than technology directly)
   

• Identify biggest opportunities for improvement based on current time taken
   

• Automate existing data flows, improve version control, scale performance and reduce common errors

Our Delivery Differentiators

• Schematiq Workbench allows incremental improvement to existing processes, tackling highest priorities first
   

• Spreadsheets can be transformed to enterprise-quality applications without needing to migrate to a new system or platform
   

• Using existing technology reduces risk and is proven to improve user adoption

Results

• Automation of process reduced time from 3-4 days to 1-2 hours (saving 40 wd/year)
   

• Changes were implemented in under a week
   

• Project served as basis for further improvement using Schematiq, saving a further 100 wd/year within six months

"We’ve been really pleased with how well Schematiq is working for us – we are thrilled with its capabilities and how much time it saves us."
