Vero Consultants are used across the private sector in a
range of different roles, for different reasons, and in
different operational areas. The decision to use a
consultant is not only based on the requirement to deliver
a specific project, decision, or piece of research but also
on the recognition of the added value that a consultant
over a company employee can bring. Identifying the
required consultant values for an assignment is important
both for the client in documenting and validating the
reasons for using a consultant, and for the supplier in
understanding why they are being engaged and how this
relates to the delivery of customer objectives as a whole.
Getting the consultancy specification right is one of Vero
key strengths, ensuring the right skills, experience and
approach are available to see the assignment through to
a successful end. The purpose of this guidance is to
provide a simple framework for identifying and expressing
the value expectations at the start of an assignment, in
order to provide a baseline against which delivery can be
measured in the post-assignment review.
Application of this Vero Value approach will enable both
suppliers and clients to determine whether the initial
requirements of the consultant are appropriate, as well as
whether the benefits have been achieved as expected.

Vero Solutions with BO certification has extensive experience of using
BI/BO techniques to maximise the benefits obtainable from data already
stored in customers existing data warehouses and databases. This
experience has been primarily gained by providing BI/BO services within the
ICT sector in particular the Telecoms and Financial sectors.
Our typical approach is:
1. For BO or BI team to analyse our customer’s databases and data
warehouses and to give a high-level presentation of the existing data’s
capabilities. Vero then works with our customer to identify the key data
elements from which required reports can be generated.
2. The Vero BO team in consultation with the Vero BI team and customer
creates the BO models, BO universes and BO reports
By the use of Vero’s BI/BO services which analyse and present existing
collected and stored data our customers can maximum the benefit to them
from the systems they already have and thus greatly increase the return on
their original investment.
