Expertise in Data Integration:
Data availability forms the foundation of successful Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) implementations. EPM requires data to flow in from multiple source systems, like ERP, CRM, HRMS, Salesforce, etc so that plans can be consolidated, reviewed and decisions can be made.
Keansa’s Data Integration team can deliver enterprise-grade data integration for EPM solutions with various data sources and devices using multiple integration patterns.
The key aspects where Keansa can add value to this area are :
- Data Hub Design
- Source Data Quality Testing
- Data Connector and Data Flow set up
- Data Migration support
- Data Load Automation
Keansa provides flexible packages for post implementation support of integrated planning solutions.
The maintenance involves:
- Post Go-live hyper care
- Feature enhancements, making changes to the present model as per the changing business requirements
- Addition of new templates and reports
- Addition of data integration scripts
- Annual business cycle support
Change brings exciting but challenging opportunities, and the success of large-scale transformation programs depends on how well the organization embraces the change. Keansa supports organisations in change management during EPM initiation by directly involving the customer in the design phase, EPM implementation using the train-the-trainer concept and EPM roll-out by providing user training and post go-live support. The objective of this process is to transfer the knowledge to the client’s application owners giving them full control of their solution.
This phase includes:
- Training Content Development
- Readiness Assessments
- Super User Training
- Business User Training
- User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Support
- Clear and Concise Documentation
- Coverage Review
- Hypercare after UAT
