ISG helped a water solutions company establish an optimized global business service delivery model.
Opportunity
A global water solutions and water technology company created a corporate strategy to expand shared services and build a Global Business Services (GBS) organization across Finance and Procurement as a means to achieve savings needed to meet financial targets. The finance organization required a technology orchestration layer, global process framework and standardization and automation to transform and enable GBS.
The company engaged ISG to develop a service delivery model strategy, establish current baseline, complete an automation assessment and perform business case analysis, and ultimately chose to outsource global F&A with ISG supporting service provider selection and contracting.

Imagining IT Differently
ISG conducted a data collection exercise to develop a baseline and identify opportunities for service delivery model improvements including automation (RPA/AI). Concurrently, ISG led the client through an RFP to evaluate and deliver a technology orchestration later for finance, select an outsourced service provider, implement and manage automation, implement a Global Process Framework, right-sized retained organization with proper roles, and implement full Governance.
ISG advised and supported the client through a comprehensive, end to end program that addressed resolving technology challenges, quickly implementing and realizing the benefits of RPA, addressing operational effectiveness with global process standardization and implementing GBS.
