About Us

SERVICES

Step up a gear!  Our value-discovery services include a targeted consultation to help identify gaps, challenges, and  opportunities, in business spend management.  This is a specific business oriented service aimed at identifying improvements, gaps, and opportunities, profitably. 

The outputs are a business case that incorporates success metrics, and specific goals for the whole organisation.  Unlike typical value discovery sessions, this is not centred around software application fit, rather it is aimed at adding transparency to the current state of an organisation's spend processes and enabling comparisons with the global community. 

With implementation times that are routinely less than six months, and typically around four, a Coupa implementation accelerates the time to benefit, quickly and smoothly, in ways other approaches simply can't match.

REPORTS: Gartner, Harvard Business Review, Coupa Benchmark Report.

There are many great articles on Business Spend Management and on Coupa's capabilities and ranking in the market;  they are a true global leader innovating in many areas and second to none when it comes to an holistic platform approach to Business Spend Management (BSM)

MISSION

DATALAKE's mission is to leave our clients more knowledgeable and more capable. We have partnered with Coupa who are transforming the way businesses manage their spend, to deliver the best sustainable outcomes for businesses across many industries; regional and global.

LEADERSHIP

DATALAKE is led by Stephen Lloyd-Jones (FAICD). With over twenty five years in senior management, he has taken local and regional organisations to excel to new levels of performance and led some that were on the verge of complete failure and in deep distress, to robust, sustainable, performance in the space of months.

Building on his extensive expertise in information technology, particularly in business applications, he has considerable expertise and had significant successes in organisation turnarounds, restructures, mergers, and takeovers.  He has been a trusted adviser to many local and international companies as well as government organisations.

He has been responsible for procurement reviews spanning billions of dollars. In developing new approaches and reusable IP, he has generated tens of millions of dollars in savings by using an holistic approach to Business Spend Management (BSM).
