Fill The Gap and X is Y sign Partner Agreement to complement the Partner Network in NZ
On the 28th October 2020, Fill The Gap and X is Y signed a Consulting Partner Agreement, allowing X is Y to provide services using the LINQ Digital Twin SaaS platform in New Zealand
“We’re very excited to welcome X is Y to the LINQ Consulting Partner community.” says Scott Kennedy, Managing Director of Fill The Gap Limited and Master Reseller of LINQ. “Cyrus and Jared have a wealth of experience dealing with customers at the “top end of town”. I’m sure that being nimble and applying their wealth of experience, when partnered with the powers of LINQ, will be a winning combination for X is Y and their clients.”
Cyrus Facciano, X is Y Director, commented that
“We work with many different organisations of varying sizes and across multiple sectors understanding and optimising their processes and how data and analytics can help super charge their goals. We have always favoured interactive and collaborative workshops for discovery of current state and design of future state. Whilst post-its and pictures work OK, it can take a long time to translate the outputs and then analyse them to build the case for change. Plus, with more and more remote working these days, physical workshops aren’t always an option.
Using LINQ, we can capture a process, the people, systems and information flows for our clients in real-time, in person or remotely and tweak together to get it right. The beautiful thing is that we can then quickly see the costs and risks in a current process and model the projected benefits of the designed future state. So, not only are we able to integrate the change management process, by bringing business users on the journey, we can also help accelerate the business case for change so we can keep moving. It’s a win win!”
LINQ is a SaaS developed in New Zealand and sold around the world that allows organisations to rapidly build the Digital Twin of the Organisation, and model alternate twins to determine impacts associated with change before any real world changes are made. Changes to Information Assets, Systems, People and Processes can all be visualised through dynamic dashboards along with financials.
Better business cases are produced, and evidence-based decisions can be made.
“Having Cyrus and the X is Y team join the LINQ Partner Network in New Zealand creates some incredible opportunity for us both”, said Neil Calvert, LINQ CEO. “X is Y are hugely respected for the managment consulting they offer their clients. The recognition that the discovery phase of any engagement is accelerated by using LINQ is fantastic to hear. Having people of Cyrus’ calibre recognise and utilise LINQ for this purpose is significant for us as we continue to see LINQ expand within New Zealand and overseas.”
Our motto is invest thousands before committing millions.
One project with a large utility in the United States identified savings in excess of $5M through reduction of rework, removal of paper as a “system”, and automation of manual tasks. While a recent case study published shows document storage company DocuVault realising a $140,000 annual saving from removal of “waste” in their processes.
