Our Services – Business Consultancy
Pentagon specialises in addressing the changing demands of the business within financial services organisations and is well placed to advise and guide clients who wish to consider potential options associated with such changes and enhancements to operational practices and processes. Whilst, Pentagon supports all business areas within such organisations, from front to back office, middle office development and data management are becoming increasing areas of focus. 
Pentagon supports clients by providing expertise in the following areas:
- Consultancy / Advisory Services
- Business Process Reviews – Re-engineering
- Specification Scoping and Selection
- Project / Programme Management and Business Analysis
- Specialist Practices - Solution Implementation /Integration
.
With constant changes to industry standards, regulations and the ever increasing automation of processes, Pentagon offer a service whereby current practices and processes are reviewed and assessed to ensure that clients can operate in the most efficient way. Such reviews often identify flaws in processes that can be easily remedied and adds efficiencies to operational activities.
As part of the analysis Pentagon perform process reviews prior to outsourcing or system selection processes, to ensure that client requirements accurately reflect their core business practices. This includes the creation of ‘road maps’ for either strategic or tactical business plans for both the short and long term development of infrastructure and operational models.
Pentagon’s consultancy proposition is based on many years of successful solution implementations, along with extensive market knowledge and we recognise that the word ‘solution’ does not simply refer to new applications or products.
Whilst it is important for a business to optimise operations, processes and the use of technology, making changes always carries risk. Our knowledge of the products and solutions in the market along with our detailed understanding of key business processes can minimise this risk and support effective decision making.
