Foundational Health Assessment
A comprehensive, COBIT-based diagnostic of your SAP BPC environment. We establish an honest, evidence-based baseline to drive measurable improvement and protect your investment.
Structured, Repeatable, and Auditable
This service is a comprehensive diagnostic of your SAP BPC environment. It is structured using principles from COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies), a globally recognized framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT.
We use COBIT not to be overly complex, but to provide a structured, repeatable, and auditable approach. It ensures that our technical findings are always linked directly to business objectives like data accuracy, risk management, and operational efficiency.
"Technical findings linked directly to business objectives."
Our approach ensures every recommendation maps to data accuracy, risk management, and operational efficiency — so findings are actionable, not academic.
An Impartial Baseline of Your System's Current State
Clear, Evidence-Based
The purpose of this assessment is to provide business and IT stakeholders with a clear, evidence-based, and impartial baseline of the system's current state.
Beyond Assumptions
The goal is to move beyond assumptions and anecdotal evidence. We identify specific areas of strength, uncover hidden risks, and create a prioritised, actionable roadmap for improvement.
The Foundational Benchmark
This assessment serves as the foundational benchmark against which all future progress and the value of our partnership will be measured.

How the Assessment Works
The assessment is conducted in four distinct phases, each aligned to COBIT governance domains.
Alignment & Planning
We conduct workshops with key stakeholders to understand critical business processes, strategic objectives, and known pain points.
- Workshops with Head of FP&A, IT System Owners, Power Users
- Define precise scope of the review
- Map strategic objectives and known pain points
Technical & Functional Analysis
This is the core diagnostic work. Our team performs a deep analysis of the BPC environment.
- Performance: Response times, query performance, hardware utilisation
- Reliability: Health and success rates of critical process chains
- Data Integrity: Audits of financial models and data flows
- Security & Access: Review of roles and authorisations
Synthesis & Evaluation
We consolidate all technical findings and map them back to the business impacts identified in Phase 1.

- Assess and prioritise by risk level
- Evaluate potential benefit if addressed
Report & Roadmap
We compile findings into the formal Health Assessment Report and create a prioritised roadmap.
- Formal Health Assessment Report
- Prioritised roadmap of actionable recommendations
- Stakeholder walkthrough session
