Strategic Accounting Solutions

Strategy

 

Are your competitors talking about you in their boardrooms? Does your strategy guide how you allocate resources? Can every employee articulate your strategy and are they empowered to execute on it? At SAS, we see strategy as much more than a plan. Since SAS's founding in 2003, strategy has been our core business. We work with companies in every industry to develop strategies that deliver results.

 

• We see things that others miss, offering you more creative solutions that combine our deep geographic experience, intimate sector knowledge and clear insights into how to create value in your business.

• We work collaboratively, build lasting capabilities into your team and help your organization mobilize for change.

• We define our success by your results. We care deeply about our clients. We enjoy our work―and we have fun doing it.

Performance Improvement

 

SAS is the best consulting partner for companies that are committed to quickly achieving and sustaining their full potential. Our clients realize, on average, results yielding 25 times returns on our fees and margin improvements of seven percentage points within two to three years.

 

SAS's holistic and data-driven approach enables clients to achieve leadership in their core business, leverage their core strength to grow into adjacent opportunities, and operate at superior levels of performance to drive industry-leading results.

 

We start by analyzing what full potential means in practical terms–for a whole company, a business unit or a function. Our first step is to perform a diagnostic and size the opportunity based on hard factual data. Our strategic and cross-functional approach helps clients unlock value beyond cost containment measures within a specific area of the organization. In fact, in our experience, addressing operating problems at the nodes–the points where business units, functions, geographies, and layers of management intersect and have to make and execute critical decisions–creates between three and four times as much value as traditional approaches to right-sizing and functional excellence.

Advanced Analytics

 

Big data and advanced analytics are creating profound new opportunities for businesses, yet we found that only 4% of companies are able to combine the right people, tools, data and organizational focus to take advantage. To realize the value of big data, organizations need strategic—and not merely technological—solutions. SAS’s strategy experience and analytical expertise help ensure that businesses build the right capabilities to mine data for insights that can enable better decisions and create value.

 

Big Data isn't a technology initiative to be left entirely to data scientists and IT departments. It's a strategic business opportunity that requires technical savvy and organizational coordination. To succeed, companies need to embed Big Data and analytics deep into their organizations to ensure that information and insights are shared across business units and functions.

Information Technology

 

A company's technology organization should support its business strategy, not constrain it. SAS focuses first on the strategic needs of our clients' businesses to determine the technology capabilities needed to support their long-term goals. We help companies confidently address technology-related decisions and ensure their IT organizations and operating models are agile and effective, equipping them to cut through the noise of fleeting technology trends to create enduring results.

 

At SAS, we value technology as an integral and potentially differentiating component of a business. We help clients transform their organizations; enabling holistic digital strategiesto catch up with consumer demands, maximizing value in turnaround situations and ultimately, developing technology operating models that make organizations more agile.

 

Our technology projects start with business strategy. We believe that a company’s corporate strategy both guides and is influenced by its technological capabilities. Our industry experts take a unique approach to engagements by working with business leaders to initially understand corporate goals and then determine what technological capabilities, systems and support they require to succeed.
