We Help Our Clients Grow

Fortune 100 – Products and Technology

The Client Need
A Fortune 100 company was looking to implement a robust requirements gathering and process standardization function.

The Challenge

• The division was growing faster than existing processes could support
  
  
• Over 20% of the budget was wasted with duplication and process inconsistencies
  
  
• No formalized process functions existed within the business group to facilitate work within and outside the company
  
  
• Updates were monitored in an adhoc manner and provided no easy way to communicate progress with the eventual customers

AustinCSI Results

• Implemented a robust “business driven requirements management process” to work with internal groups
  
  
• Saved ~$18M by providing cost competitive resources and eliminating duplication by employing standard business driven processes
  
  
• Facilitated higher visibility into cost and profitability across the entire supply chain
  
  
• Developed and deployed accurate and detailed processes

Fast Growing – Financial Services

The Client Need
AustinCSI was tasked with the opportunity to establish a formal PMO with structured business requirement processes and project management functions.

The Challenge

• Different business lines were driving their processes independent of each other
  
  
• Technology groups could not deliver in a timely manner because of inconsistent business requirements
  
  
• Multiple technology platforms were used adding an additional $10M in yearly license cost
  
  
• Roll up of financials would add additional effort and time to the monthly reporting

AustinCSI Results

• Developed a fully functioning business PMO function with proper processes to work with technology groups

Large Entrepreneurial – Telecommunications

The Client Need
A large Telecommunications company was looking to establish a sound governance and project management process.

The Challenge

• Grew faster than the processes could support resulting in individual delivery silos
  
  
• No formal project intake and approval process
  
  
• Project cost had escalated without any measurements
  
  
• Business processes and technology approaches were not integrated

AustinCSI Results

• Implemented a formal change control board with disciplined approaches to cost, timeline, and expectations
  
  
• Developed and deployed a requirements management process and a formal approval process
  
  
• Reduced yearly costs by 30% ($3M) without reducing the project workload
