Started in 2009, the company is proud of having helped several of clients transform their Operations and IT to make it an enabler for their company’s growth.  As examples, they prepared the Operations and IT strategy for Religare Finvest Ltd (a financial services company).  Also helped Religare evaluate and select their Loan Management System.  For Hamdard (a FMCG company), they did the evaluation and selection for the automation of the secondary sales function – including helping them with the Commercial and Contractual negotiations with the selected vendor – and then did the Program Management to deploy the secondary sales system at over 150 point of sale locations across the country. For ILBS (a hospital), we helped strategize the Healthcare IT applications (HIS, EMR/EHR, PACS, Telemedicine, BI, ERP, mobile apps and internet apps), prepared the “to-be” Process Workflows for all the processes of the hospital, prepared the business requirements documents for all the functional areas of the hospital and prepared the RFP Tender document for inviting proposals for the IT Applications. For MetLife (a insurance company), we helped prepare the International IT Strategy Blueprint and the e-Servicing Strategy document for their UK & Europe region.  

The company carries experience in reviewing operational processes looking for opportunities for business process improvements and cost reductions – and recommending the steps to be taken.  Their team has prepared the “to-be” business process maps for several clients – and driven the change & implementation of the new business processes. With several years of experience in implementing large projects, in doing Program/Project Management and driving projects end-to-end across client organizations, they will coordinate with the various stakeholders to ensure timely implementation, within budget and at the same time meeting the quality parameters. Also they carry extensive expertise in Change Management, Process Workflows Reengineering, Business Analysis and implementation of large systems – and have successfully helped several of clients transform their Operations and IT to make it an enabler for their company’s growth.

Testimonials

"It was Kasper's expertise and experiences in assessing system implementations that ensured migration of all finance users from the legacy system to the new ERP. They mapped all the processes, standardized the procedures and delivered a (system) solution which had no major functional gaps. Their hands-on training exercise was very effective in ensuring system acceptance by the users. I can confidently say that Kasper is very good in change management and it has been a pleasure working with them."

Senior GM IT,

“The rigorous and meticulous approach of Kasper team towards analyzing the huge volume of data was really commendable. Kasper consultant on the job ensured that the data to be migrated was error free to the maximum extent possible and was correctly mapped between source and target systems, considering the vulnerability of the target system since it was still under development. We went through multiple rounds of migration, with minimal cut-off time, to ensure the smooth transition from the old to the new system. Moreover, project management from Kasper team was remarkable. We were able to involve the key stakeholders in every aspect of the project with the help of Kasper team. Kasper team played a key role in motivating the stakeholders and the end users to ensure timely and successful delivery of the project.”
