MATRIX OF SILOS
EC-United was approached by a massive global manufacturer pushing out over 26 million units each year to consumers across the globe that embrace their strong brand with quality and affordable products.
With a portfolio of over 100 IT projects, this enterprise lacked a clear structure for reporting and tracking improvements, causing gross overspending and misallocation of resources.
Gaining insight into financial levers that control programs was essential for the long-term stability of their growth strategy.
UNITED TRACKING & REPORTING
EC-United helped standardize reporting and tracking across all major initiatives, bringing expertise and knowledge to an area that lacked governance and accountability.
By converting a matrix of siloed organizations into a framework for standardized and consistent reporting, EC-United was able to discover 15% more savings than originally targeted through collaborative and flexible financial analysis.
In total, $17M in funding was issued back to the budget and planning offices for a massive impact in savings. Through discovery and analysis, EC-United was also able to imprint significant changes to security policies, furthering the reduction of risk across the enterprise.
