At the completion of the Architect phase, members of the next client’s Architecture Team will use the PowerPoint deck which documents deliverables to answer questions.
How Targets System(s) have been ranked as their enterprise’s #1 system, using data on contributions which members of the team collaborated to over a very short duration to decide will be consistently made to hitting top line targets over a very long duration Manage phase.
How data stored in databases will be extracted, transformed if required, and used to update synchronized databases used by Targets Systems.
How State-of-the-Art Financial Systems have been ranked as their enterprise’s #2 system, using data on productivity gains which members of the team collaborated over a very short duration to decide will be realized publishing their enterprise’s financial statements required to pass an audit by a CPA firm.
How an ERP System has been ranked using expenses which will be incurred to use a system to maintain databases and to use a system as an integral part of State-of-the-Art Financial Systems.
How; social media systems, other digital advertising systems, digital marketing systems, CRM Systems, Human Capital Management Systems, other systems hosted in the Cloud or hosted on premise have been ranked using expenses which will be incurred using systems to maintain databases.
How; travel and entertainment systems, time and attendance systems, payroll systems, benefit adminstration systems, E-Commerce and classic customer transaction systems, accounts receivable systems, E-Commerce and classic supplier transaction systems, accounts payable systems, fixed asset systems, consolidation systems have been ranked using expenses which will be incurred using systems as integral parts of State-of-the-Art Financial Systems.
How members of team collaborated over a very short duration to decide if it is in their enterprise’s best interest to make the 1st progress payment to Enzweiler and then collaborate with one of Enzweiler’s Senior System Architects to plan to complete the Demonstrate phase.
4. How will the Demonstrate phase start?
Demonstrate contributions will be consistently made to hitting top line targets using Targets Systems.
Members of the next client’s Architecture Team will collaborate to manage to demonstrate;
Using forecasting models as integral parts of Targets Systems to forecast the most probable scenario for the impact of external head/tail winds on future earnings targets, computed using earnings projection models.
Using earnings projection models as integral parts of Targets Systems to set managers’ metric targets which are used to project at least (4) future quarters’ top line targets and SG&A expenses listed on Income Statements.
Using an Income Statement model to compute at least four (4) future quarters’ earnings targets, given the most probable scenario for the impact of external head/tail winds.
Managers, planners, analysts on their organization chart(s) collaborating to continually improve at setting and hitting their metric targets to consistently make their contributions to hitting top line targets, using Actual vs Metric Targets dashboards as integral parts of Targets Systems.
Using Actual vs Top Line Targets/Budgets dashboards to validate; metric targets are being hit to consistently make contributions to hitting top line targets, discretionary SG&A expenses are being managed and/or being controlled their enterprise’s system of internal controls.
How data stored in databases will be extracted, transformed, and loaded to update synchronized databases used to integrate parts of Targets Systems.
How expenses are being incurred using systems hosted in the Cloud and/or on premise to maintain databases.
And how drill down analytics of synchronized databases will be used to explain how rare earnings targets misses have been caused by external headwinds, which could not be accurately forecasted, and which could not be managed using Targets Systems.
5. How will the Demonstrate phase be completed?
Demonstrate productivity gains will be realized using State-of-the-Art Financial Systems.
