About the Client

3. The client was working towards automating their process for asset creation/ build and managing them after
they were operational in an automated system. The current process used spreadsheets that were not
efficient and took too long to complete. The client realized that this process could not be scaled to provide
them with efficient usage and reporting details to help their management understand how they were doing in
each location (data center).
Business Requirement
The client was working on projects that created and managed data centers in various locations which
needed to be tracked and reviewed for financial viability. The areas/ cages within these data centers were
specific to their customers and needed to be tracked, managed and billed to the customers at appropriate
times. All these activities in spreadsheets were too cumbersome and inefficient. The client wanted to
leverage the Oracle system, that was already in place for other financial processes, and include the Project
Tracking and Fixed Assets functions to help them with these business processes.
Business Challenge
Jade Global deployed a cross-functional team to help the client implement and integrate these Projects and
Asset functions into a system. The team worked closely with the business users to help them dove-tail their
current processes into a seamless integrated process. This helped the client collect all specific data that
would drive collecting costs for the projects and create the asset to be tracked. The integration in the
functions that they had been already using helped the client with the overall objective of being able to track
project costs and be able to bill at the appropriate time. This also systematically helped the client to track
profitability on each data center location with relation to the customers who were using specific cages at
these locations.
Business Value Delivered

4. The client prior to having Projects and Assets implemented used to spend countless man-hours managing
these details using spreadsheets. Since the deployment of this solution the processing time has decreased
dramatically.
The Benefits
The timeline prior to the deployment of Projects and Assets was long and manual. The process was:
anywhere from 2-3 weeks
not auditable
not verifiable
Since the deployment of Projects and Assets the process is
automated and streamlined
performed weekly, it takes 2 days to close the transaction processing
auditable with all details in Projects, AP and Assets
verifiable with source data from operational systems and systematically stored
The client is now also able to report seamlessly on location based asset management
