Cost and Cashflow Optimization Assessment

Realize near and mid-term cost and working capital optimization

CHALLENGE

In the wake of the impact of the pandemic on businesses, CXOs are focused on key imperatives such as containing costs, ensuring liquidity, and managing cash and working capital, assessing new products and markets, adjusting guidance, and revisiting their merger and acquisition strategies. TCS’ Cost and Cashflow Optimization Assessment service addresses all these concerns.

TCS SOLUTION

TCS’ Cost and Cashflow Optimization Assessment is a rapid four-week evaluation to identify opportunities and create a roadmap for the realization of near and mid-term costs and working capital optimization. The assessment spans through F&A, HR, supply chain, procurement, and IT (cloud, workplace, data center, network, edge), followed by the evaluation and charting of a roadmap for cash optimization. The assessment uses machine learning algorithms to analyze, detect new patterns, and provide intelligent recommendations to drive payment prioritization.

The solution takes a consultative approach utilizing TCS frameworks focused on a questionnaire and analysis-based approach to optimize the cost and cash flow of enterprise backend functions. For example, finance and technology cost optimization. It is a CXO-level offering targeted at functional owners. The solution also enables an enterprise to optimize the backend process, technology costs, and improve the working capital efficiency.
