Business
Performance Services (BPS)

Our Business Performance Services (BPS) practice provides services to a wide range of industry sectors that are experiencing common opportunities and challenges caused by such diverse factors as increasing requirements on financial reporting standards, increasing competition and the drive for efficiency. The increasing need to focus capital and resources on meeting regulatory and compliance requirements has often meant that there is little time to devote to internally improve processes, competitiveness and margins. Very often, the need to devote time and money to meet mandatory compliance requirements has meant that investments in initiatives to improve business performance have been postponed or cancelled. However, if you are not continuously improving your internal processes and performance, then this may potentially inhibit your ability to compete, grow and

strengthen over the long term. Emcore studies, along with our experience with clients around the world, consistently show that successful business outcomes are only achieved through effective strategic planning, continuously striving for operational excellence, managing risks, and balancing compliance with effectiveness.
