ChatGPT has become a topic of discussion, especially in the business world. Entrepreneurs and professionals from various segments tirelessly debate about how it will impact the labor market and how it can help organizations lower costs thereby increasing profitability.

But the truth is that ChatGPT is only the visible portion of a large and constantly developing field that has been already in operation among us for a long time. If we investigate the history of artificial intelligence as they are known today, we will find their origins in the mid-1950s, when technologies such as the Logic Theorist, developed by Allen Newell and Herbert Simon at RAND Corporation in the United States; and the Perceptron, created by psychologist Frank Rosenblatt in 1957.

While the first reproduced human reasoning and problem-solving, even proving mathematical theorems, the second was a network of artificial neurons capable of learning, being one of the main precursors of Machine Learning, which is now the driving force of mechanisms such as ChatGPT.

Who is ChatGPT in the universe of AIs and what else is there beside it?

ChatGPT is a technology based on natural language processing (NLP), which enables it to understand text in multiple languages and generate natural language responses, without the need for specific programming to perform each task. In other words, it literally speaks our language.

And this is part of the reason it causes such a stir. Besides optimizing Web searches (posing a threat to powerful representatives of Big Techs, such as Google), promotes a conversational experience with the machine, without requiring the user to know any programming language. With the liberated access to its technology, those who are not feeling like the protagonist of a science fiction movie are living in the past.

But countless Ais work daily in other functions. In the financial market, for example, there are systems not only based on NLP but also on machine learning, fraud detection systems, as well as robo-advisors and trading algorithms. The latter two stand out because they act directly on transactions.

While robo-advisors offer automated investment guidance based on information provided by investors (being great allies for beginners in the financial market and for those who don’t have time to monitor the scenario), trading algorithms employ market data obtained in real-time to make critical decisions to buy and sell financial assets. This is possible because they are programmed to identify price patterns and market trends, enabling traders to make data-driven decisions and execute trades with much more agility and confidence.

And those who think this is new are wrong. The use of AIs in the financial market began in the 1970s, with systems like INGRES (Intelligent Graphic Reinvestment System). Developed by the investment company Dean Witter Reynolds (now part of Morgan Stanley, a world leader in financial services) it was a pioneer in the industry. By applying neural networks (in a Perceptron-like fashion), it analyzed transaction data and predicted market trends.

INGRA is no longer in use, but today systems like Sentieo, Kavout, Kensho, and Acorns are some of the AI technologies in application in stock buying and selling and investment advice.

What can we expect from the participation of AIs in the financial market and business environment in the coming years?

Amidst so many fears about information security (and even a possible machine revolution), it is difficult to predict exactly where these technologies will go and what role they will play in our daily lives soon. However, the market expectation is that their use will become more and more massive, as a tool to boost results and reduce costs in the medium and long term.

According to research by Market Data Forecast, the AI market in the financial sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 41.2% between 2020 and 2027, jumping from $6.7 billion to $15.8 billion over the period. This is in line with research by Tractica, whose estimate is that by 2025, AI-mediated e-commerce transactions worldwide will exceed $36 billion.

This growth is a result of the increased efficiency produced by these technologies. Nasdaq itself applies AI algorithms to accelerate and reduce trading costs, taking transactions to a new level.

Of course, such an advance would not be restricted to the financial market. Research indicates that the use of these technologies can also benefit companies and that this is why they will also play a greater role in the corporate environment.

According to Accenture, the AIs applied to business management can reduce costs by up to 30% and increase revenue by up to 38% in 16 different segments, such as Education, Food Service, Hospitality, Healthcare, Wholesale, Retail, and Manufacturing, among others. A true springboard of profitability for organizations that invest in these tools.

And businessmen are already keeping an eye on this trend. From a complementary perspective, data from Forbes indicates that by the end of this year, business process automation with AI systems is expected to grow by 57%.

Looking beyond ChatGPT, it is easy to note that the use of Artificial Intelligence has already become a giant competitive advantage aggregator for businesses across all industries. Thus, it’s up to CEOs and CFOs to be on the lookout for ways to get ahead in this race, investing in solutions that can make their businesses stand out from the competition.

The last few months have been marked by high-interest rates and many uncertainties regarding the global economic scenario. The recent bankruptcy of two large American banks has increased tension and the expectation of a possible recession of worldwide proportions.

The bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank is for many one of the expected symptoms of an inevitable crisis. But it is necessary to understand what happened in order to assess the possible impact on the activities of other banking institutions.

The startup’s bank

Located in the Silicon Valley region of California, SVB was one of the leading institutions providing credit to startups and technology companies. It was considered the 16th largest US bank by the Fed (the US central bank) and in 2021 it declared that Silicon Valley Bank was the main financial institution for 50% of venture startups in the US.

According to Alexandre Cancherini in an interview with InfoMoney, the SVB had a large fundraising through deposits. And according to the expert, the response of a bank when there is a lot of liquidity is to give loans and invest in securities.

But as the Covid-19 pandemic slows down investments in many areas, and therefore on credit applications, the bank directed its management to buying bonds. Now, with the increase in interest rates, investors that used to make large deposits are now making large withdrawals.

Cancherini explains that in order to cover the turnover, Silicon Valley Bank was forced to sell many bonds with low returns. In this way, the deficit that led to its bankruptcy was formed. The same phenomenon of bankruptcy was repeated with Signature Bank, which suffered the same fate.

A cascading effect with the potential to worsen the crisis

Two major bank failures in such a short time and in an unstable economic environment could trigger a cascading effect that worsens the situation in the markets. With the insecurity in the economic scenario, clients from banks all over the world have started a process of withdrawing their accounts and investments.

A possible massive movement of flight from the banking institutions would inevitably result in the bankruptcy of more banks, causing an implacable domino effect on the global economy. Not surprisingly, President Biden has spoken out on the matter, stating categorically that the deposits of US bank customers are safe.

As Biden put it: ‘The American people can trust that the banking system is safe. Your deposits will be there when you need them.”

In an effort to restore investor confidence in the American banking system, Biden indirectly referred to some of the safety measures implemented following the recession caused by the American housing bubble.

The lessons learned from the 2008 Subprime Crisis

The 2008 housing bubble in the US, known as the Subprime Crisis, impacted countries across the world and had severe consequences for the US, which in 2012 still had a public debt of 103% of its GDP. Therefore, during the recovery the country instituted a series of actions to protect banks, customers, and investors, such as:

In summary, the American system is prepared with numerous instruments to prevent the spread of a crisis throughout its entire banking system. Hence Biden’s request that investors maintain confidence and not withdraw their assets from their banking institutions.

One of the moves that confirm the availability of instruments to prevent further bank failures was the injection of about 30 billion in resources into First Republic Bank. The bailout was provided by a group of 11 US banks, which issued a statement informing that the action reflected the confidence of the institutions in the American banking system.

On the same path, but on another continent, Credit Suisse received support that could reach 50 billion Swiss francs (equivalent to more than 53 billion dollars). The bankruptcy of the institution culminated in its sale, the result of which will be the formation of the largest banking conglomerate in Europe since the Subprime Crisis.

Assuming the scenario stabilizes, and investors keep their assets in the banks where they are deposited, the expectation is that the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and the injection of funds into other banking institutions should not trigger a global recession. should not trigger a global recession.

Before the Covid-19 Pandemic, Duke University research gathered 848 financial executives in the United States and asked, “What are your organization’s top three concerns?” The number one concern of these executives was “Being able to maintain margins.”

Another study, this time from Gartner, of 482 executives asked, “What is your biggest technological challenge?” The biggest challenge identified was “Properly measuring Product and Customer profitability.”

In other words: obtaining adequate profit margins has been a difficulty and a widespread concern among companies. In this article, we will shed light on some of the factors that may be causing this problem in your organization, and how you can reverse the situation.

Every customer matters when it comes to improving your profit margin

In fact, we realize that the margins of organizations have fallen dramatically in recent years. This is due to several factors, such as the pandemic itself, pressure from government agencies, logistics problems, competition, and even increasingly demanding customers.

It is common to find companies that do not realize that one of their products is making a loss and continue to sell it below cost out of total ignorance! And in their eagerness to serve customers, organizations are often practically forced to give significant discounts – which in many cases ends up generating a loss-making sales operation, resulting in a significant impact on the overall profit margin.

In this context, it should be noted that those customers who demand a lot of effort from the organization are deficit customers. They are those who make special orders, impose a great logistical challenge of any nature, or require significant post-sales. Now imagine what it is like to sell to such a customer!

And, making matters worse, many of these clients are treated as “key” customers, because they buy a very large volume of goods (or in the case of the services segment, transact a large volume of services), often giving the false impression that they are “profitable” when in many cases they are loss-making!

On the “shop floor” the adversities are equally great. Every process or activity done in duplication, the rework, represents huge costs that the company must bear. Defective products or layout problems and high idleness are good examples.

If we go to the back office, several factors must also be evaluated in order to maximize the company’s profit margin. Is the size of the organization adequate for the challenges of producing, selling, delivering, and after-sales? Is there a way to be more efficient? These are some important questions.

These scenarios are reinforced by a study done at Harvard. The research found that on average, 20% of customers are very profitable, approximately 70% “stall”, and 10% are loss-making. The big challenge is to understand which ones they are and what to do with this information!

Know the results generated by each client and improve your organization’s margins

The issue of controlling profit margins is urgent for companies in all sectors. A pre-pandemic survey by Exame magazine pointed out that the average net margin of organizations in the last 10 years was 2.54%.

This means that a transaction made outside of compliance, or some additional discount offered to a customer is often the difference between profit and loss for the company.

From the moment we can measure costs and results properly, we can make the best decisions. Discount policies, salespeople commissioning, process outsourcing, exporting or not, opening new divisions, etc., are just some of the possibilities when we have true information for this decision-making.

In case you’ve just stumbled in here, read our full article that explains how the ABC costing method works by clicking here.

Let’s recapitulate some trivial points that underlie “Activity-Based Costing”.

If you are already familiar with the term, let’s go ahead and discuss why ABC (activity-based costing) has the power to increase your profitability.

What is the main objective of the ABC method?

Let’s get right to the point.

The focus of the ABC method is to have maximum control over the indirect costs (also called overhead) as well as the direct costs associated with a product, service, customer, or channel.

Through a costing system using drivers that respect a cause-and-effect relationship and aiming to bring an advanced analysis of the costs per activity within the operation.

And with this dense range of data, intelligently filter the numbers and transform them into strategic decisions. 

Data-driven decision making

The first step comes from what we call “data-driven culture”.

This is the natural habit of ALWAYS making decisions based on collected data and not on a gut feeling.

It all starts by identifying the main KPIs (key performance indicators), which are our key performance indicators.

Do I need KPIs?

If you intend to make decisions based on data and not just intuition, yes.

Performance indicators make it possible to measure how much a strategy is generating the expected result or not.

It is important to mention that KPIs are always measurable and concrete.

My data is not conclusive, now what?

Analyzing data is something automatic in large companies, however, not always creating strategies and defining next steps is provided by a study on top of what has already been collected and digested.

The ABC costing method is useful for companies that already have this data-driven culture and are looking for optimizations through detailed data analysis.

The more knowledge you have about how much and where your resources are being spent, the more precise your improvements associated with cost management will be.

And that is what we at MyABCM offer.

Pricing

The ABC method results in an advanced costing analysis based on each activity involved in producing some product, providing some service, or serving some customer or channel.

This is where pricing comes in.

One of the biggest challenges within a business can be made easier by applying the ABC method.

Keep in mind that failing to calculate your total costs can result in sub-optimal pricing, resulting in an unfavorable profit margin for the company.

With all the control of segmented expenses in the palm of your hand, pricing becomes clearer and effectively correct. The consequence of this is the real impact on negotiations with customers, discount policies and commissioning of salespeople, resulting in the end in greater profit for the company!

ABC Advantages:

1. Reliable and accurate data throughout the value chain

The option of being able to precisely manage all the organization’s costs. This opens up the possibility of making more assertive decisions about where to act to reduce costs, invest, and even serve the best channels and customers from a profitability standpoint.

2. Associate overhead costs with the products, services, channels, and clients that actually consume it

Instead of associating the same cost to all products, services, customers, and channels, you can allocate the fair value consumed by each.

This also helps identify costs that apply to more than one segment, making this feature more valuable because it potentially eliminates distortions in cost calculations.

3. Evaluate production efficiency and apply improvements

The ABC method makes it possible to assign value to overhead costs by working the data as if it were direct costs. By breaking down overhead costs and assigning them by activity, we can look for breakthroughs with precision.

In the same way, we can make processes more efficient and correctly monitor the key KPIs for each activity in the organization.

4. Accurate data to obtain the desired profit margin

Having accurate data will directly impact a leader’s decision making. It opens up the possibility to reduce or shift production costs and apply effective pricing strategies to obtain an adequate profit margin.

5. Unique Benefits

Other methods cannot cover what the ABC costing method provides.

Directly related to the particularity of activity-based costing, it can measure expenses related to activities, however small they may be.

How do I know if I should use an ABC system?

All the questions below must be answered with a yes.

Then you are prepared.

To be clear, there are not only advantages.

But it is the solution to a number of complex problems for those seeking cost optimization through a robust system.

After you have finished reading this post, you certainly have the clear answers as to how ABC cost management can increase your profits.

Management in the education sector aims to identify and plan a set of strategies and actions with the purpose of achieving the objectives of the educational institution by using the resources available in the best possible way.

In general, the management in this sector focuses on educational methodologies and practices, using different tools, techniques, and intellectual capital to lead and guide the teams during the execution of the project. For example, the development of the stages is monitored in order to identify the necessary adjustments, ensuring the quality and fulfillment of the activities.

Based on this context, we’ve prepared this post for you to learn about the best management practices in the education sector and put them into practice. Keep reading the article to know more about this topic!

Make a good planning

The first step in any management strategy is to start with structuring the project’s plan. Preferably, create a document, for everyone involved, containing guidance on the actions of the school year in question, such as:

The purpose is for managers to make the decision-making process easier. Keep in mind that this planning should undergo a periodic review so that the necessary adjustments and updates of the institution’s demands are carried out.

Set and monitor goals

Promoting a good management in the education sector is a task that can only be carried out assertively if the institution has very well-defined goals. The determination of objectives serves as a parameter for the pedagogical teams and other employees involved, having all the reasons to improve the teaching.

Set goals related to student performance and monitor them to measure aspects such as the student dropout and retention rates and the qualification of teachers. That way, managers will have all the data needed to develop strategies aimed at achieving better results.

Communicate with the team

Clear and transparent communication between the personnel that make up the educational institution’s team of collaborators is essential for the management in the education sector.

The faculty and other professionals who are part of the daily lives of students should have full knowledge of the goals and objectives to be achieved. Furthermore, feedback exchange between the team is important, so that everyone knows which points they are getting right and which ones they need to improve on.

Invest in technology

The use of technology in the education sector has proven to be a real ally, in and out of the classroom. This is due to the advances made by the digital transformation process.

Given the context, to invest in management technology in the education sector is to bring the benefits of automation to the school. In addition to automating manual and repetitive tasks, the teaching team is able to dedicate more time to teaching methodologies, just as managers are allowed to focus on strategic issues.

In conclusion, it is worth mentioning that, in order to optimize the management in the education sector using technology, it is very important to choose a software provider with credibility and knowledge about the area.

Present in the most diverse segments of the market, data analysis is a procedure that has revolutionized modern society. In short, it consists of using technology to process large volumes of information in a few seconds and generate relevant insights for strategic decision-making.

As the public sector has also been following the current process of digital transformation, modernizing its channels of communication with the audience, and carrying out operational processes, data analysis cannot be left out of companies linked to government agencies.

Therefore, we’ve prepared this post so that you understand the importance of data analysis for public services. Read the article to learn more about this topic!

What is the importance of data analysis for public services?

If you follow the technological trends for the corporate world, you may have noticed how the integration of company departments – using CRMs and ERPs – has gone from being a mere whim of entrepreneurs with a “modern view” to being a competitive “requirement”.

This is because eliminating communication noise and integrating all information sources in a single digital environment leads to cost reduction and boosted productivity, while also improving the data analysis. And these same principles apply to institutions that provide public services.

Let’s say the Municipal Department of Education wants to organize a cultural tour with public school students. To do so, it must make a formal request to the Municipal Department of Culture and the Municipal Department of Finance.

Without the use of technology capable of integrating communication and data in a single system, this process would be highly bureaucratic, time-consuming, and susceptible to several errors. Now, with innovative technological solutions, both the communication and the data analysis in the public sector are improved.

How can choosing a technological tool help in data analysis in the public sector?

The first step in choosing a public management system is to make sure that the software provider has enough credibility and experience to offer transparent and effective solutions, both for employees working in the sector and for citizens.

It is very important that this system is equipped with resources that allow, for example, the availability of information about expenses, the integration of departments and, of course, data analysis to improve strategic decision-making.

Another point to be considered is the tool’s ability to use data intelligently through Big Data, as this area of knowledge provides a series of benefits, such as:

As you could see, data analysis is already a reality in organizations of different sizes and market segments, which has led utilities to invest in the modernization of processes as well. We also showed you how to choose a technological tool for the public sector.

Cost analysis in the IT sector basically consists of carrying out a strategic planning whose actions are aimed at meeting specific business demands. To that end, it is essential that all departments have tools and methodologies to apply the cost reduction.

In simpler terms, we are referring to the multidisciplinary and continuous process of IT governance. Its goal is to integrate not only the expenses, but also support-related services and projects.

By employing good cost analysis practices, it is possible to add value to the business and provide unique solutions to the audience. And that is what we’ll talk about in this post, read on to check it out!

What is the importance of analyzing costs?

Planning the costs of a company is one of the best ways to ensure its survival and growth in the market, even when dealing with the most complex economic scenarios.

This is because the cost analysis aims to consolidate data on financial performance and the execution of corporate activities. Based on this information, managers are able to make more assertive decisions regarding the expenses that can be eliminated and what actions to take to foster the profitability of the business.

How to carry out the cost analysis in the technology sector?

Now that you understand the importance of carrying out IT cost analysis, we’ll show you some tips on what you can put into practice in your business. Check it out below!

Map the costs into an infrastructure

Determining the costs to be analyzed, that is, mapping them in an organized, functional, and intelligent way, will allow the finance department to account for expenses and investments with the infrastructure needed to carry out the business activities.

List the tangible and intangible costs

We know that much of the work done by the IT sector takes place in the digital environment and, therefore, has a series of intangible costs, such as the acquisition of ERP and CRM software, APIs, plugins, etc. In addition to these, it is necessary to consider aspects such as productive time, customer loyalty and delivery times.

When it comes to a tangible IT structure, it is no different, as it is also necessary to invest in hardware (computers, mobile devices, equipment, etc.) and labor, for example.

Rely on technology to automate processes

Finally, cost analysis can be optimized by using innovative technological tools that can automate repetitive tasks that were previously carried out by employees.

In addition to reducing the workload of IT professionals with minor issues, business management software have a wide range of resources that support the accounting and finance department.

After all, unlike human workers, these systems have algorithms that are not susceptible to failure and order issues, such as forgetfulness, fatigue, or misunderstanding. In other words, they minimize the margin of errors, rework, and productivity losses.

As you can see, cost analysis for the IT sector encompasses a series of practices and the use of technological tools that contribute to the company’s development, making it easier for managers to make strategic decisions.

Unforeseen financial events are inevitable and, in most cases, cause difficulties for the business’s management. If we consider the various obligations of the company, such as salaries of employees, suppliers and tax payments, the emergence of unplanned debt may cause indebtedness. And that is why cost mapping is so important.

In addition to making the financial organization easier, mapping strategies for the destination of the company’s capital allow managers to face economic challenges more easily.

Based on this context, we’ve prepared this post so that you can learn the best tips for mapping costs and optimizing results in the company. Read on and check it out!

1. Map the processes

Before identifying the costs, it is very important to map the processes. That way, the manager will have a broader perspective on all operational actions of the organization, which helps when identifying which one leads to little or no practical results for the business and, therefore, can be eliminated.

This strategy consists of identifying all the company’s expenses, showing the origin of each one so that the manager understands its impacts on the organization, as well as the margin obtained, among other aspects pertinent to monthly budget planning.

2. Invest in partnerships that can help

Promising corporate partnerships are an excellent way to map costs and reduce operating expenses in the company. Do research on organizations that offer innovative cost management solutions, review the proposals, and negotiate?

Have reliable and trustworthy partners by your side, whether they are software providers, third-party carriers or any other. In your decision-making process, take into account not only the price, but also factors such as on-time delivery, quality of inputs, special conditions, among others.

3. Have a technological solution to optimize processes

Investing in a financial management technology can make the company’s cost mapping significantly easier. As it is equipped with intelligent algorithms and process automation resources, managers can count on a multitude of solutions for the day-to-day of the company.

Among its benefits, we can mention:

Among many other functions that only a provider of innovative technological solutions for financial management can offer.

As you can see, mapping costs is a comprehensive strategy that aims to increase the managers’ knowledge of the business’s expenses and investments. Relying on technology is the best way to identify and categorize all the organization’s expenses.

Taking care of a company’s financial organization involves a series of strategic measures and the use of essential tools in order to ensure the economic health of the business. By using these practices, the enterprise is able to have good conditions to invest, funds for the working capital, among other advantages.

We’ve prepared this post so that you can learn about great ways to keep your company’s financial organization. Read the article to learn more about this topic!

Optimize the cash flow

One of the first steps to a good financial organization is to analyze all the inflows and outflows of funds in the enterprise (accounts payable and receivable), as well as closely monitor future transactions, as cash flow is one of the most important business tools.

With cash flow, managers are able to make projections of future scenarios and have a broader view of the company’s economic status, in addition to analyzing losses and gains and managing financial transactions.

Fortunately, to make this task easier, there are innovative resources such as the technologies developed to automate the management of financial and accounting matters in the company. We’ll talk more about this later.

Create an emergency reserve

Regardless of the market sector in which your company operates, and its size, having an emergency reserve is essential. In fact, this financial organization tip applies to any entrepreneur or self-employed professional.

In short, an emergency reserve should represent the amount needed for the business to maintain itself (paying its expenses and operating costs) for a period between 4 and 12 months.

In other words, it should ensure the company’s survival even when faced with the worst economic scenarios, crises and unforeseen events. The idea is to prevent the enterprise from resorting to loans at exorbitant interest rates and ending up in a debt “limbo”.

Use technology to automate tasks

In the era of digital transformation, companies can count on innovative solutions for the most diverse operational needs, such as technologies for financial organization, which have become increasingly present in the corporate environment.

These software are capable of automating a wide variety of processes and tasks in the accounting department, making the access to accurate information on cash flow and working capital easier, as they provide thorough reports with detailed data for strategic decision-making.

It is also possible to check expense and revenue graphs, daily balances, and even make future debit and credit projections, separating them by periods, which is essential for a good financial organization.

As you can see, maintaining the business’s financial organization involves using a series of good practices and innovative tools to ensure the good economic health and survival of the company, in addition to maintaining its competitiveness, even in delicate scenarios.
