CO | Optimize™
Business Process Improvement
As a business grows, most of its processes develop in an ad-hoc way. Inefficiencies creep in, duplication occurs, and important activities are omitted. Have Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ analyze your business’s existing processes and design superior ones. Flowing from your strategic goals, these target processes will ensure that the way the work is performed is consistent with them.
Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ will identify the incremental changes needed to implement the target processes. As well, this business process analysis and improvement will serve to inform enterprise architecture.
Decision Support
Analyzing financial statements is not the only way of monitoring your business’s finances. Preparing budgets and then analyzing the variances between the forecast and actual results are other ways to stay on top of your business’s financial performance.
Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ can analyze those budget variances and present the resulting information in the form of a user-friendly dashboard. The dashboard includes graphical and tabular summaries and details of the information.
The information presented in the dashboard goes beyond just numbers. It paints a picture of your business’s performance. Using tools, the dashboard allows you to manipulate the presentation of the information in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of that performance. This understanding will enable superior decision-making for your business. That’s Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ working to provide you with decision support.
Your business’s operations can be measured and analyzed in order to present information describing them in the dashboard, too.
Let Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ give you the view from the captain’s chair and the decision support you need to make your seat there more comfortable.
Financial Analysis
Don’t let the financial statements produced by Corporate Operative’s CO/Operate™ go to waste! Its CO/Optimize™ will analyze those statements in order to provide information necessary for monitoring your business’s financial performance.
Is your business profitable? Is a cash-crunch coming? Is your inventory turning over quickly enough?
Ratios produced from financial statement analysis will provide answers to those questions.
Monitoring your business’s finances is a necessary activity. Have Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ analyze your financial statements regularly so that you stay in-the-know.
Enterprise Architecture
Hand-in-hand with your business’s processes goes its information infrastructure. This can also develop in an ad-hoc way as the business grows and deter from goal achievement.
Have Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ design your business’s enterprise architecture. This information technology blueprint for business includes data models, information systems and hardware networks. It reflects how your business operates as well as supports it.
A properly designed information infrastructure will capture and process the data that your business generates and allow you to manage the business through managing that information. That’s Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ making things easier for you.
Information Systems
Part of enterprise architecture, information systems are computer applications developed with a specific purpose. Examples include your business’s web site, desktop software, mobile apps and social media networking.
Have Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ develop these information systems for your business.
Business Intelligence
Business intelligence is information about your business. It includes information derived from sources both internal – such as finance and operations – and external – such as your business’s environment. Have Corporate Operative’s CO|Optimize™ combine the information from these sources to create an intelligence that may be used for reporting, decision support or to inform the strategic planning process.
Competitive Intelligence
In contrast to business intelligence, competitive intelligence is information about your competitors’ businesses. It includes industry standards and best practices. Have Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ compare this information to that of your business in order to benchmark it.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is a process used to develop goals for your business. Have Corporate Operative’s CO/Optimize™ formulate your business’s goals through an examination of its internal resources, external environment, and in consideration of your desires and values. Strategic planning aims to describe how your business will compete in the marketplace.
