Transforming your business services across the organization

By integrating different business services, you will gain a better view of your business performance across the company. Integrated business processes and IT systems, automated processes and the resulting cost savings enable your business to achieve its fullest potential. This is achieved by releasing your in-house resources from time-consuming, typically routine-like and non to low-value adding tasks to  value adding analytical activities – allowing everyone to focus on tasks where the real value lies.

Our Business Services Transformation team is here to transform your business services across the organization – whether it be Finance, HR, Tax, Procurement, Facilities, IT, sourcing, etc. 

Efficiency, quality and cost savings

Our experts work with you to identify your challenges and needs based on a thorough analysis. We will design the services that best contribute to your business performance, optimising and integrating your business processes and IT systems.

To this end we use standard operating models (processes, organizational structure, governance, Data and performance insights, technology insights) and corresponding supporting IT systems (configuration, test scripts, interfaces, etc.) which KPMG has developed and optimised for each business function. We will make sure your employees embrace the transformation and are able to navigate through it, and that you have the right people within your organisation to advise and maintain a constant dialogue with the business.
