PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT:  Media company expands online presence shoring up market position.

Technology had jumped well ahead of our customer’s print and online offerings with competitors edging ahead of them in the internet world.  

After a significant capital investment in a web application, they were left with an online presence that was crippled by hardware and software inadequacies.  In conjunction with the client staff, our consultants provided triage analysis, project planning and leadership that resulted in a quick shore up of the website and supporting applications.  Following that Symphony worked to develop  new online product enhancements, marketing and promotional plans, and redeployment of the web application to support other media companies.  Today, this company is a leader both in print and online media.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:  Manufacturing company financial policy and practice assessment leads to improved cashflows.

An international manufacturing company needed to know more about their cash flows from their eight major business units.  We helped them review their cash management, investments, risk management, insurance, financial reporting/accounting, sales tax, and accounts payable processes.  In the context of historical performance, peer benchmarking and simulation modeling, new opportunities were uncovered for generating cash, improving operations, and reducing the cost of funds.
