How ESE can help reduce SG&A

Enterprises worldwide are exploring new ways to reduce SG&A spending. Achieving continuous sustainable SG&A reduction requires a systematic, disciplined journey through the following:

• Constructing a process-centric taxonomy for each SG&A domain (example: Information Technology, Finance & Accounting, Human Resources).
• Developing detailed profiles for each process (example: costs, staffing, service levels & metrics).
• Benchmarking each process to identify shortcomings.
• Exploring Scenarios to uncover viable optimization avenues (example: a market-test to understand outsourcing benefits or perhaps a decision to strategically outsource).
• Accomplishing best-of-breed outsourcing agreements.
• Establishing extended collaborative process networks.
• Governing sourced relationships.
• Continually tracking metrics for both retained and outsourced processes.
• Executing corrective actions collaboratively where needed.

Whether this journey is undertaken alone by the enterprise or includes others such as transformation consultants, sourcing advisors, benchmarking firms or outsourced service providers, Senable's ESE compliant products cater to the needs of each entity with the right tools to get the job done.
