Data Silos: A Challenge to Efficiency
The Finance team at CAP PLC encountered significant challenges in maintaining timely and accurate financial reports. A major hurdle was the reliance on manual data consolidation from multiple, disconnected sources, which led to delays and inefficiencies in financial processes.
During critical periods such as budgeting cycles and month-end closing, the team often worked with outdated or incomplete data. This slowed down reporting timelines and limited the team’s ability to provide the timely, data-driven insights needed to support strategic business decisions. As a result, decision-making was often reactive rather than proactive, impacting on the organization’s agility and financial visibility.
Scattered Data
Critical business information was dispersed across multiple personal drives, making it difficult to maintain a single source of truth.
Security Risks
The absence of centralized management exposed sensitive data to potential breaches, with limited control over who had access to what.
Accountability Issues
With no clear ownership or tracking of files and communication, it became challenging to ensure accountability and compliance, especially in a highly regulated industry like maritime services.
Increased Operational Complexity
The team faced difficulties in collaborating effectively, leading to time wasted searching for data and a lack of transparency in the decision-making process.
To address these challenges, Frebloom Marine Solutions sought a more secure and efficient solution to centralize data management and enhance collaboration.
Data Silos: A Challenge to Efficiency
Frebloom Marine Solutions recognized the need to streamline their operations and enhance collaboration across their teams. To address their challenges, they partnered with Reliance Infosystems. Working closely with key stakeholders from Frebloom, we implemented Microsoft 365, a comprehensive solution that centralized their operations, improved data management, and enhanced collaboration across departments.
