GBS Impact Dashboards
01
Internal Benchmarking (+external)
Set informed targets based on best demonstrated performance. CI
enables you to benchmark at all levels of your organization. Our
module for APQC integrates external benchmarks.
02
Connected Objectives and Drivers
Investments in GBS or process automation are made to drive
improvements in focus, cost and agility. CI enables you to analyze
your organizations and processes by connecting the metrics for your
objectives with the underlying drivers.
03
Measure the Impact
Track your ROI across organizations and processes as you install
automation and expand GBS. CI enables you to see where the impact
is and where you are leading and lagging.

don’t move from a high cost manual process to
high cost automated process”

15. Q: Can CI integrate with our network and our PowerBI?
A: Yes. CI is a cloud app hosted on AWS, with a secured API to easily integrate with
your network.
Q: What is the cost?
A: The platform is licensed to you on an annual basis. The total cost of ownership is
equivalent to saving or redeploying a FTE or two annually. The licensing cost
covers ongoing support when you need it.
Q: The data and analytics cover GBS and the business end-to-end by
process and/or different business dimensions. We can isolate to GBS
only or combined with business data to analyze and evaluate. How?
A: CI uses two integrated modules: “Center” for GBS and “Enterprise” for the
business. The data collection process uses two different purpose-built methods
for Center and Enterprise. The data structure is designed to enable the
integrated analytics and eliminate blind spots.
Q: How or where do you get the resource and cost data? ERP? HR systems?
A: No. CI uses an efficient and highly automated template-driven process for
gathering the data. No IT involvement is required. By doing this you get 10x
more visibility and flexibility versus relying on ERP or HRIS data. The process
moves fast and requires minimal time from the business.
