Transitioning Into a Customer-Service Support Organization

Transforming University Finance Department to Shared Environment Organization
Transforming University Finance Department to Shared Environment Organization

After a complicated and rocky ERP implementation, the University finance team engaged Percipio to ensure consistency and efficiency across processes and create a more customer-service-oriented support organization to assist departments with their financial requirements.​

Percipio conducted a comprehensive assessment of the organization – from leadership to processes to team organization and workflow, we compiled a full report, recommendations, and roadmap to transition to an efficient and customer-focused organization with streamlined and reallocated processes, life-of-ticket transparency, and a clear communication strategy.

Through close partnership with the Finance team, Percipio established more efficient processes, established process owners, and developed standard operating procedures (SOPs) to support these new processes. Additionally, communication and training plans were created to ensure the sustainability of the processes beyond the engagement. As a result, the University finance team now has new streamlined processes and leadership has a clear roadmap to integrate this new way of working.
