CogNIAM Finance is a joint venture of ABN AMRO Bank and PNA Ventures. We enable organisations to implement knowledge intensive and complex projects (based on first time right principles). The methodology we use is designed to find and structure existing knowledge objectively. This helps organisations re-use company wide knowledge in an efficient manner. Using CogNIAM improves an organisation’s ability to adopt changes and the speed at which this occurs. What are the business benefits? 1) Decreasing Time-To-Market for new products, services and processes as well as implementation timeframes of already started and new projects by 20 to 30% 2) Decreasing the cost of new products, services and process introductions. Cost reduction through high efficiency and leveraging automation may result in savings of 20 to30% 3) Reducing the cost-of-change associated with updating products, services and processes: The impact of these changes is made transparent enabling reductions of between 60 to 70% 4) Sustainable access to available knowledge because it is being maintained at a single point and re-used whenever possible 5) CogNIAM/finance bridges the gap between “IT” and “business” ensuring that IT understands the business requirements 6) Not being locked-in to the technology due to the use of “open” World standards (SBVR & BPMN) and the ability to choose your own software suppliers.
