Order to Cash. Cash is King. Prime elements, points that block successful ETE flow. KPI's/metics and how to guage where your company really ranks: a Business leader, Average, or Laggard.
Order to Cash Overview slides can be used for high level training for O2C Or Accounts Receivable department in any organization. Anyone can use it as standard template and make necessary changes for their use. This is not just for providing designed slides, I've included desired sample data which ideally should be a part of O2C Function overview & training deck. I believe design is just to make it look nice, important aspect is which relevant information/data to be included based on the topic.
If you like it, I would be happy to help you in further topics as these are readily available with me. In case it seems interested to you, do not forget to Like It and comment with your suggestion for improvisation.

Project Storyboard: Reducing Cycle Time for Bid Tab Creationby 33%GoLeanSixSigma.com
Think it's impossible to make a significant change in government? Well, it's not easy, but GoLeanSixSigmna.com Black Belt Pamela Kuehling made a real difference from the inside. She overturned countless "honest wrong beliefs" with facts and data by modeling the Lean Six Sigma approach in her work and won over the doubters.
Initially the overall procurement process was the focus, but when that proved to be too big, she scoped it down to a more manageable project that can now be the basis for an expanded improvement. Her improvement was meaningful, but a bigger victory was in bringing critical and logical thinking into an environment often impacted by less scientific influences!

We describe the deployment and use of Globus Compute for remote computation. This content is aimed at researchers who wish to compute on remote resources using a unified programming interface, as well as system administrators who will deploy and operate Globus Compute services on their research computing infrastructure.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

2. What does the O2C process stand for?
Organizations try to accomplish their business objectives
through strategies. Strategies are executed broadly through
‘Programs & Projects’ or ‘Operations.’ Going a step further,
Programs & Projects are timebound with specific goals while
Operations are ‘ongoing’ in nature.
Most references indicate the O2C process like Order
to Cash Process or Order to Cash Cycle.
3. What is the Order to Cash Cycle?
From a Business-to-Business (B2B) context, they go on to explain Order to Cash in the
context of ‘Operations’ and include the following dimensions:
Step One: The Customer places an order for a company’s product or service.
Step Two: Fulfil Customer Order by ensuring that the product is ready for shipment.
Step Three: The company ships the product to the customer.
Step Four: Generate an Invoice and send it to the customer.
Step Five: The Customer pays the invoice.
Step Six: Record the Payment in the Accounting Ledger.
5. What are the KPIs to measure the Order
to Cash process?
There are two sets of KPIs – efficiency and effectiveness.
World-Class organizations are more efficient, by having:
Lower total costs
Faster cycle time
Higher Productivity
World-Class organizations are more effective, by having:
Accurate decision making
Better alignment to business
Optimized working capital
There are many software applications such as SAP, Oracle, and others that manage the entire Order to Cash
process.
6. Unlike in the past decades, we are now
living in a project economy.
Gone are the days when B2B customers could afford to wait till you were ready with your product
or service. Competition and technology advancements have changed the face of the game.
Customers, Government Agencies, Vendors, and Organizational Internal stakeholders want
‘predictability’ of outcomes. When customers give orders to service providers, they need a clear
timeline when specific deliverables would be handed over – giving rise to the power of the
program and project management discipline.
In the context of Programs and Projects, the O2C process has two possible interpretations:
Order to Cash
Opportunity to Cash
7. Observing the above two terms closely, it becomes evident that –
Order to Cash starts from the time a company has successfully received a customer order till the project is
delivered and payments received.
Opportunity to Cash starts with the pre-sales cycle and ends with the delivery of the project & money
received.
Opportunity to Cash is a super-set that includes Order to Cash Cycle.
We could split the Opportunity to Cash Cycle as:
Opportunity to Order cycle and,
Order to Cash cycle
8. Opportunity to Order
1. Opportunity Identification & Evaluation
During this phase, pre-sales teams look for potential customers or business opportunities. Based on
interactions with these potential customers, pre-sales teams start to rank these opportunities based on
potential business value as well as the probability of a closed deal.
2. Proposal Creation
In this stage, the probability of opportunities becoming real has increased. Here, the teams understand
the customer business problems and challenges and offer potential solutions through a formal ‘Proposal.’
These proposals may undergo revisions based on customer inputs. To prepare customer proposals, the
pre-sales / proposal teams understand and document:
High-level customer problem statement along with business objectives
Broad and potential solutions to address customer business problems
Soft-Book or tentatively block resources needed to deliver the solution
Likely costs, margins, and price to deliver the solution
Potential risks and constraints
9. 3. Agreement or Contract Creation
After a series of discussions, the customer agrees to confirm the engagement.
Subsequently, both the parties discuss the nitty-gritty of the deliverables,
specifications, timelines, costs, quality, payment terms & conditions, and formal
acceptance. Besides, there could be incentives or penalties applicable.
10. What are the challenges in the
Opportunity to Order cycle?
Lack of standard process for proposal making
Accurate estimation of direct & indirect costs (resources, material, travel, miscellaneous, facility,
overheads, etc.)
Ad hoc Master Cost profiles
Ineffective methods to incorporate costs, inflation, and margins
Unable to consider multiple project geographies
Understand & document customer requirements and scope; proposed revenue calculation based
on competitive margin.
Assessing liabilities, payment terms, legal & other terms. Manually preparing professional-looking
proposals in Word / PowerPoint / Acrobat PDF.
Seeking last-minute approvals from senior management. Tracking multiple versions of proposals
because of customer negotiations.
