In recent times, many unexpected and uncontrollable global changes were imposed upon traditional business functions, operations, and supply chain, inadvertently impacting economic stability. That instability railroaded reliable business operation “functions”. Amid known competition among companies, global economic “wars”, and the latest spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, many large, medium-sized and a significant number of smaller and family-owned companies became casualties of sudden and unprepared change in business.
The need for process and operational improvement has become an absolute necessity; companies designed to be more proactive and preparatory rather than just reactive and recovery driven. In the Technology space, the past two decades have clearly defined technology as an integral fixture in a success model delivery for business growth and sustainability. We have moved from being an expense to an investment; delivering consistent significant savings, optimized operations, faster delivery of goals, and high marks in customer experience.
Amede Deane,
Entrepreneurial Business Strategist
Having worked in different positions for different top tier companies, Amede Deane has driven required changes that keep technology positioned to proactively and reactively respond to internal company changes. One of the companies Amede worked for is a global financial giant. The task was to transform some of their legacy-shared systems into a more optimized model – an 18-month endeavor that cost $3.1m.
“I worked with 16 teams across three global regions to determine the best options available. In a collaborative effort between the teams and myself, we determined that a PaaS approach was the best option. I constructed a step-by-step design solution covering current functions on the platform all the way to required changes that would prepare the system for transformation into a virtual platform, before finally moving it to the cloud seamlessly and successfully.
“During design, planning, development, and execution, I worked with a select number of end users who were involved in every step of the process to ensure changes could be adopted, repeated and sustained,” said Deane.
The result was an annual average of $1.7m save in legacy system maintenance, 120-employee hour reduction, a refreshed and optimized shared service platform, faster delivery of services, and the lowest recorded downtime for maintenance and user satisfaction.
