Helping Business

CMP’s experience equips it to efficiently understand the implications and value of existing business processes, the objectives business has set itself, and the external challenges it faces.  We take a viewpoint that considers the usefulness of a solution or requirement from the perspective of an informed understanding of what it really contributes to business objectives.

Our daily work confirms to us that our understanding of business needs and the different functional roles is a critical success factor towards reaching intended goals.  It allows us to generate efficient conceptual solutions and business requirements, and effectively validate these with business owners and stakeholders across organisations. CMP’s business and technical expertise then supports implementation, helping IT deliver the cost effective solutions it wants to provide, and supporting business’s governance of projects.

Examples

Our capabilities are a consequence of CMP’s core capital markets business expertise, which is rooted in our direct personal experiences in business roles.
