FOCUS IN YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS

Requirements Analysis

Zema’s approach to each client’s project is holistic. Zema starts by listening to the client, identifying present issues, and then establishing project goals – a process which establishes a project charter, scope, and definitions. This process enables Zema to design a solution that will meet the needs of various business units across a client’s organization. During this stage, Zema’s team will carry out the following activities:

Process Discovery
Data Discovery
Analytics Discovery
Process Documentation
Process Definition
Data Auditing
BUSINESS PROCESS AUTOMATION

Zema offers the service of converting any manual processes into automated processes in order to enhance workflow efficiency.

CURVE GENERATION

Zema consultants analyze existing methodologies and traded products/markets and help design the logic, structure, and workflow for automated Zema curves, which usually have a direct link to the client’s ETRM system.

SPREADSHEET CONVERSION

In instances where clients have existing MS Excel-driven spreadsheets or models, Zema fully converts these Excel-based solutions to dynamically leverage Zema’s data and analytics catalog. Organizations can embed raw or calculated data directly into MS Excel, producing dynamic and automated spreadsheet processes.

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS

Zema works with clients to ensure that Zema meets their requirements. If a client requests functionality that is not yet available in Zema, Zema will map out its development options. Zema invests heavily in research and development to improve Zema with the client’s long-term needs in mind.
