Cincom helps streamlining complex business processes

Reduces document creation efforts by 50 percent – sales productivity climbs from 9 percent to 26 percent

Schwalbach/Ts., Germany, February 14, 2006 – At a time when products have lost their character as competitive advantage on many markets, successful companies look to internal process improvement as a way of reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Efforts that do not increase value need to be minimised. Cincom Systems is a leading specialist in helping companies to simplify their business processes in sales, marketing and customer service.

Cincom helps banks and insurance companies be more efficient

Cincom has shown in numerous projects that greater efficiency is a goal that companies can achieve. At Barclays Bank, document production time was cut in half. A Cincom solution at American Health & Life, an insurance company, reduced claims processing from ten minutes to less than one minute – a savings of more than 90 percent. And at BlueChoice HealthPlan, a US American provider of health insurance and medical services, Cincom consultants implemented an automated solution for marketing, sales and contract preparation, which significantly reduced costs for document creation and distribution and which additionally shortened sales and transaction cycles.

Increased efficiency for quotation and sales processes

Cincom also has extensive experience in simplifying processes in sales, quotation management and order processing for complex manufacturers. Configuration systems, for example, help companies improve their quotation accuracy by more than 90 percent. Best-practice analyses based on Cincom projects show that the time sales actually spends with customers can be increased by as much as 25 to 50 percent, and that sales productivity climbs from 9 percent all the way up to 26 percent. That means that orders can be processed within 30 minutes instead of the previous 17 to 33 hours, and the cost per lead can be reduced by 30 to 60 percent. In order processing, Cincom solutions can lead to a cost savings of 95 percent and to a reduction of the order completion process by 65 percent.
