How cloud ERP reduces mission-critical risk

Many businesses still run legacy applications that make it harder to meet operational and customer commitments in the world of digital-first and real-time information. But in order to reduce mission-critical risk and enable more resiliency, a move toward the cloud, innovation, and real-time data is needed.

Process management

Do basic processes, such as time tracking, recording travel expenses, or order to cash often not run smoothly?

Human experience management

Are you constantly searching for talented employees?

Project management

Is staffing your projects costing valuable time without you knowing if your teams are actually working well together?

Connectivity

Do you have to organize numerous transactions between subsidiaries?

Order to cash: Standardize all processes from the order to the receipt of payment and consolidate them in a central system for all employees to use. Our innovative professional services solutions and support enable you to do this. You ensure that time tracking is correctly and consistently managed due to simple and intuitive functionality, which is also available via a mobile app. You can analyze projects, from resource allocation to profitability, and ultimately bill for your services more quickly.
Scouting and recruiting: Compared to professional services, hardly any other industry is so reliant on finding specialist employees so quickly and being able to adapt them to projects. However, the shortage of highly-skilled professionals is showing no signs of improving in the near future. In the race to acquire top talent, speed and transparency are decisive factors.

Our experts support you with integrated software solutions to match the skills you need with what is available on the job market, and immediately prepare contracts.
Staffing: We are certain that your company has the proper talent and vital knowledge. But do you know who excels in certain tasks? Or who is available? And which colleagues work best together?

If you decide all of this based on a gut feeling, there is every chance that your next project may run smoothly – but there is a real risk that it won’t. A consistent talent base that comprises all employees as well as skills, and supports effective staffing of projects, offers you certainty.
Talent management: Specialists are currently in short supply. That is why it is important to take a systematic approach and nurture existing talent, including both new and experienced employees. Strategic personal development becomes a reality with NTT DATA Business Solutions. This enables you to retain top performers and develop your pool of expertise in a target-driven manner.
Intercompany booking: Behind many professional services companies, there is an entire series of legally independent units, often based in different countries. And while company executives want to see the figures for entire departments and projects, legislation requires a breakdown by country. This makes accounting complex.

You may even find yourself issuing more internal invoices than customer bills. Structure and automation are in demand. Our global team helps you simplify international intercompany transactions.

For us as a complete service provider, clear IT implementation is just a normal part of the job. Just like you, we do business based on projects, and we face very similar challenges. That’s why we understand exactly what is important in your day-to-day business. And we always do our very best, just like you do.

For projects to run smoothly, every step needs to be integrated – from the first meeting with the customer to the project billing. Our broad SAP expertise ensures that all of your processes can seamlessly function together. This is the case throughout the world, wherever you need us.
