Digitised solutions and holistic approaches – optimised IT Finance and Contract Portfolio Management Corporate IT investments on the one hand need to be well thought-through. On the other hand, the complexity and scope of these transactions often make it hard to maintain an overview. TEXT: SILKE HENKELE
“At the core of our business areas of IT Finance and Contract Portfolio Management lies the tool-based optimisation of IT financing and of contracts related to our clients’ IT landscape. We are clearly focused on holistic solutions and their resource-efficient implementation,” reveals Dirk Stobbe, founder and CEO of Berlin-based company CSC - Common Sense Consulting. As part of the fast-growing FEG - Finance Elements Group, CSC GmbH is an independent market player. With more than 60 employees, the company is a pioneer in the digitisation of IT financing and the platform-based implementation of efficient contract and administration processes. “Leasing contracts, once concluded, for example, often continue to run and are not 76 | Issue 73 | April 2019
adapted to current innovation cycles of the IT landscape. Missing contractual agreements at the end of a term may also incur additional costs. Through the development of our very own E.VIEW software-suite, we are able to quickly gain a neutral, well-founded insight into a company’s contractual and economical IT financing situation. And can thereby design customer-specific, implementable solution concepts – concepts with common sense,” underlines Stobbe. The sound analysis and development of optimisation concepts, however, is just one component of CSC’s holistic consulting approach: “Another one is the creation of a sound basis for further investment decisions by assisting our clients with the implementation of optimised, customised financing and contract solutions.” These are ground-breaking:“We support our clients in
reducing expenses, meeting budget targets and implementing future digitisation projects so they become able to build a modern, competitive IT infrastructure. We promote innovation and assist with challenges like corporate mergers.” The further growth of the business group is a major topic for CSC’s experts. “We have launched the investment programme, ’Speed-Up FEG’, in order to accelerate the digitisation and automatisation of our service portfolio. For this, we market our E.VIEW CORE platform for the automation of our clients’ business processes and independent management of their asset and contract portfolios. We are also developing a provider management platform for the transparent controlling of supplier contracts. Furthermore, from May 2019 we will give key account managers access to relevant knowledge, from sales representatives for sales representatives, on our self-developed web-based platform,” concludes Stobbe. www.csc-it.com www.eview-core.com
