ABOUT PARADIGM SES

Access to top-level technology firms … Do you have it?

For many companies moving forward with business intelligence (BI), business performance management (BPM), or reporting software implementations, there is an assumption that unless there are unlimited budget and talent resources, access to the best consulting firms is not possible. Thus, companies often move ahead with technical leads who have never built these types of systems, shortcut the development process to meet critical deadlines, and often exceed budget expectations.

At Paradigm SES, we have created a high-performance software consulting firm by refusing to accept these assumptions. As specialists in business intelligence and Oracle Hyperion implementations, we are privileged to work with a broad range of clients—from startups and mid-sized companies to Fortune 100 divisions—in delivering a level of technical expertise and service excellence previously considered out of reach.

› All work conducted on-site

Led by founder and president, Prince Thomas, Paradigm SES continues to build on a 14-year foundation in:

THE PARADIGM FOR YOUR COMPANY’S SUCCESS

Software Implementation(New Projects & Project Recoveries)

The implementation of BI, BPM, and other reporting systems is often a strategic move requiring a significant financial investment. However, there are numerous and potentially costly challenges that plague companies as they undertake these projects. From a lack of understanding about the technology solution and key features to a failure to plan for adequate time, budget, and talent resources to the utilization of inaccurate data and insufficient training, the Paradigm SES team has been sought out to reverse the underperforming trajectory of projects and ensure a winning conclusion to each client engagement.

M&A & Organizational Change(Migration, Integration & Implementation)

Against the backdrop of post-acquisition mergers, divestitures, and other forms of organizational change, the Paradigm SES team has worked with industry leaders in mapping, migrating, and integrating mission-critical financial and performance data across highly complex and global corporate structures.

End-to-End Business Process(Design & Implementation)

One of the most important parts of the Paradigm SES solution is the commitment to an extensive discover phase including due diligence, requirements gathering, and the matching of the appropriate solution to each client’s needs. This upfront process helps ensure the success of the downstream design, application, testing, and deployment phases.

Support & Training(Demo, Deployment, Upgrades, Ongoing Education)

There is no substitution for world-class support and expert-level training if the goal is to optimize each system’s capabilities. The Paradigm SES team is passionate about engaging stakeholders to ensure ongoing success.

“The success of our budgeting and planning project is due, in large part, to the technical expertise and proven experience of Paradigm SES. We hired them with only 2 months left before deployment, and they put us back on track to meet all delivery requirements. For our next software implementation, we will be going directly to Paradigm SES.”

THE PARADIGM TEAMThe success of a software implementation is heavily dependent upon the strength of its internal and vendor teams. Mobilizing the right team is one of the first steps toward success. For that reason, Paradigm SES builds project teams from a qualified organization of subject matter experts (project management, software development, data quality, implementation, and testing) in the specific technologies it supports.
