CASE STUDY 1
ESG Data at a LUXURY GOODS COMPANY
The Challenge
A global luxury goods company had been producing a Climate Report as part of their ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) reporting suite since 2020.
Unfortunately, the manual effort to gather and combine all the source information from 450 individual sites, as well as upstream and downstream supply chains, meant that the report could only be compiled annually.
They wanted to streamline and automate the process so they could track progress throughout the year, allowing them to course-correct if they were in danger of missing their targets.
What we did
Loaded spreadsheets from regional manager surveys into a Solidatus model
Connected each element of the Climate Report with its applications and sources
Identified which regions needed to adopt data from an authorised source
Tagged transitions between layers to indicate automated and manual data flows
Filtered to identify Climate Report elements for which no data was being sourced
The Benefits
Recommended changes to reduce the number of applications needed
Found ways to automate 68% of the company’s Climate Report
CASE STUDY 2
Solidatus at a Big 4 UK Bank
The Challenge
A Big 4 UK Bank had decided to implement a new General Ledger fed by strategic accounting data feeds.
However, a disparate team of Business Analysts working at speed and in parallel were having to use spreadsheets to define the feeds, and the formats were starting to diverge.
It was complex and time-consuming to look across the strategic feeds to verify consistency and alignment to the original business requirements, and they realised they needed a better approach.
What we did
Loaded the various feed specification spreadsheets into a Solidatus model
Showed the Lead Business Analyst how to interrogate and filter the model
Discovered that feeds were being inconsistently mapped
Identified critical accounting data items that had been incorrectly mapped
Caused the Lead Business Analyst to exclaim “Why have we done that?!”
The Benefits
Discovered issues far earlier than otherwise possible, with little overhead
Enabled the team to harmonise and review their work across multiple feeds
Provided an easier way to share mapping information with stakeholders
Gave the bank far greater confidence in the mappings being delivered
