Big-Four-Accounting Firm (Tax Group)Situation:As our client’s practice grew, development teams were forced to perform the same tasks on every new project, greatly decreasing productivity and increasing delivery time. A kit was created to standardize application development patterns, and thus reduce new application startup overhead while making all applications using this kit easier to maintain and simpler to integrate into the practice’s application ecosystem.Impact:InfoWorks implemented this kit, a foundational .NET solution, to distribute core functionality and enforce a common architecture across all applications developed by the practice. Features deemed useful for all applications were included with extensible implementations that are customizable for each application’s requirements. Once the kit was adopted by several application teams, InfoWorks assisted in the production of an automated project provisioning process that greatly reduced new application startup time. InfoWorks’ involvement in these efforts has been a major factor in this core library and provisioning process gaining global recognition and interest across the client’s associated firms.Solution:Application Development, Systems Integration
Multinational accounting practiceSituation:Our client’s internal IT team and assignment practice needed a solution that allowed the practice to transition to a more granular security structure within their docbase as well as eliminate a large number of manual processes around data synchronization and the tax return submission process.Impact:InfoWorks’ Technology Solutions team developed and implemented a middleware application that integrates the client’s global tax system with the practice’s docbase as well as with the third-party vendor for tax return preparation. This application saves millions of dollars in man-hours by allowing tax professionals the ability to offer their specialized knowledge to benefit their clients while reducing wait time, thus removing a process bottleneck to improve project team agility.Solution:Application Development
Convenience and fuel retailerSituation:Our client lacked a standardized process to receive daily paperwork from its 80 retail locations. Paperwork was delivered without a strict timeline or accountability. Auditors manually reviewed paperwork before inputting results into their accounting system.Impact:InfoWorks managed the implementation of an enterprise content management system which integrated the retail locations and corporate accounting department by sending daily audit paperwork electronically. We also oversaw the creation of a paperless audit process that documented all paperwork, audit results, and corrections in an online format, reducing turnaround time from weeks to days.Solution:Process & Workflow Improvement
