Project Case Study: Crossrail Standardizing Business Processes and Coding Structures Across Companies
Our work with the Crossrail project addressed inefficiencies and inconsistencies caused by varied business processes and coding structures across participating companies. By implementing standardized coding and reporting structures and developing a centralized data model for automated consolidated reporting, the project significantly improved data accuracy and integrity. This standardization reduced the reporting period from 10 days to 3 days, enhancing responsiveness and agility in project management.
