Exploring the System

Data analysis as a service

Profit from valuable insights into corporate processes without tying up resources. Simply tell us what you need and we will provide detailed evaluations including result reports – effortlessly and efficiently!

Knowledge base

Our ImpactBoad as a pre-check

Our in-depth pre-audit identifies gaps in control by running the entire analysis portfolio for the process. We put results into perspective, consider corporate deviations and trends in order to identify the greatest potential for improvements.

Selection of analyses for in-depth checks

Based on the pre-analysis and the resulting risk assessment, the required in-depth assessments are selected from our extensive analysis portfolio. Our analyses include both master data and transaction data for the most important areas of the company.

Performing analysis

The specified standard analyses are performed on the dataset for the requested period and business area. The identified deviations are then quantified, evaluated and visualized by experts.

Reporting results

In a joint workshop, we delve deeper into the results regarding causes and effects. The insights gained are incorporated into a detailed final report, which includes a risk assessment and well-founded recommendations.

What happens next?

Individual analyses

For specific questions, we create a customised analysis that delivers exactly what is needed.

Definition of the requirement

Describe the objective of the analysis and the associated process. Together we will define the requirements, on the basis of which we will then provide an exact estimate of the work involved.

Obtaining the data

Before implementing the analyses, we agree which data is required and whether this can be obtained directly via our tools or needs to be provided.

Realisation of the evaluation

As soon as we know the data structure, we automate the evaluation logic. This enables seamless tracking and repeatability of all steps.

Handover of the analysis and results

The insights gained in this way are discussed in a workshop and the relevant data, including the final report, are handed over. The resulting analysis script is also part of the result and can be reused for other projects.
