“There’s no question that technology is always delivering new opportunities for businesses to streamline and become better at what they do, and to do it more efficiently.

Technology though, is usually the easy bit…

It takes real feet on the ground, to figure out what actually makes sense, and how to translate this into real outcomes that not just make sense from a practical level, but also address the surrounding cultural and process issues that need to adapt and be supported along the way. Most consultants miss this point!

I’ve focused on the “back-office” and specifically for small businesses that are either on the cusp or in the middle of rapid growth because there are real challenges and nuances that make designing and implementing solutions in this sector problematic for anyone venturing in with just a surface level understanding. I bring you real experience solving these same issues for some of the largest enterprises in the world on a massive scale, a strong technology focus and a level headed understanding of the business drivers that will lead to real and measurable outcomes”

Stephen Tangerman is an accomplished business and technology strategist, with over 18 years of expertise architecting, developing, implementing, and supporting business critical IT systems for some of the world’s largest enterprises across several industries. A large portion of this experience has been primarily focused on working with business stakeholders to asses their current operations and goals and finding practical applications of technology to produce clear and measurable savings while minimizing technical debt. He has experience directing large-scale transformational initiatives and ensuring executive alignment with vision and desired outcomes.

“Communication across an organization is key to what ultimately becomes financial health.  Having well designed processes and a central place to capture that communication from all functions within the business will ensure and enforce that desired level of transparency and consistency, which in turn allows more visibility into that data. 

The devil really is in the details, and without a strong foundation of data to build upon, it is challenging to sustain or even grow a business. 

Reporting on that comprehensive and consistent data becomes information, and information is knowledge and power.  You are then armed with knowledge at the click of a button, in the driver’s seat, and can move your business forward in a more strategic versus reactive manner.

One of my roles at REV4 is to work with clients to transform and streamline financial and operational processes to maximize their investment in software and to scale those processes with growth.”
