New Offsite-Onshore Service Addresses the Escalating Costs of Business Intelligence Reporting

News Release

For immediate release:

New Offsite-Onshore Service Addresses the Escalating Costs of Business Intelligence Reporting

For many years now American corporations have been outsourcing technical work to Asian work centers as a way to control costs on development projects … with mixed success.

In some cases great cost savings are achieved, but stories of failed projects that cost companies millions of dollars abound. Language and communication problems, time zone difficulties, sweat shop conditions and cultural differences all contributed to an environment where achieving true cost savings is problematic. The end result has too often been poor quality work that does not meet user requirements and must be redone, eliminating cost savings and in fact, resulting in far greater costs and delayed business opportunities.

Additionally, the rising cost of living and wages in Asia, coupled with the erosion of the value of the dollar, reduced the amount of savings to be had with offshore development.

ACE Consultants is stepping into the breach to address this problem with the creation of our Offsite-Onshore initiative. Simply put, we are advocates of offsite development for Business Intelligence projects, but the labor is not overseas. Instead, the labor is here in the United States where there are no significant time zone issues, where language barriers are not a factor, and where American workers with experience working in American companies can bring their expertise to bear.

Working offsite eliminates expensive travelling costs that are usually built into consulting rates. Moreover, there is additional incentive for consultants to work at lower rates in order to avoid the wear and tear of travelling. These two factors enable us to significantly reduce consulting rates while retaining American expertise and experience.

ACE consultants specialize in SAP’s BI offerings. We make use of standard content to reduce requirement gathering time and development time resulting in shorter project life cycles.

We focus customization efforts at the query level, whether that is Bex, Webi, Xcelcius, or Crystal reports.  We can also tie our initiative into SAP’s new HANA technology.

Why reinvent the wheel? Why pay more than you have to? Why depend on offshore resources with poor quality results?

ACE Consultants has the solution to BI reporting requirements. You CAN get the reporting you need without spending a fortune.

If you would like to find out how you can have Business Intelligence reporting in Financials, Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, Human Capital Management, CRM, SCM and other areas at a reduced cost, please call David Fradin at 908 553 3366 or via email at aceconsultantscorp1@gmail.com. David has over 30 years in IT and 15 years in SAP; worked for America’s greatest companies on projects large and small; hands-on expertise and is considered a leader in Business Intelligence.

Let ACE  help you realize the reporting needs of your organization.
