The supply model used by Corvallis SpA focuses on the needs of the banks, insurance, industry & services and public administration needs and includes important partnerships that enable the construction of a highly-competitive proposal and, together with the customer, the making concrete of business models of excellence, based on the sharing of objectives and opportunities, the optimisation and development of the business missions

Consolidated assets, specialised competences and a long-standing knowledge of the business processes of the reference markets characterise the Corvallis offer particularly in the Finance market, where is present in 90% of Italian banks, with a team of specialised resources and is one of the top suppliers of outsourcing services in the insurance industry.

Corvallis flanks businesses as they evolve also in the Industries & Services market, supporting them in the adoption of business models enabled by the most innovative technologies. A close-knit network of partnerships grants greater competitiveness to the Corvallis proposal and generates a highly-integrated and specialized IT offer. It works clients in the industrial sectors for Oil & Gas, Defence, Energy, Aerospace and Construction, Services and Manufacturing. Over the years, it has acquired specific skills in Project & Portfolio Management, also standing out as partner of Oracle – world leaders in project management – an area in which it boasts more than 200 installations in Italy.

A wide range of services to optimise the approach to and relations with customers, including Application Management, Business and Process Consulting, System Integration, meeting the demands for innovation in business models and supporting performance and competitiveness objectives.

Innovation is one of the key aspects for renewing the offer and Corvallis invests in Research and Development through its own factories software, to which 20 percent of its EBITDA is allocated. The company also adheres to numerous research programmes and initiatives, both nationally and throughout Europe, including through partnerships with universities, research institutes and other European agencies.

We strongly believe that the value of the service is its quality in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, professionalism, innovation and flexibility and we aim to offer our customers only this, freeing advice from everything that is ‘superfluous’, which generates costs without creating any value. For example, our approach tends to minimize on-site interventions, as these are important only if they are required by the customer and useful for building mutual trust, and they are critical to achieve the objectives of the initiative

From this perspective, we propose and decline the whole service portfolio even in a ‘remote mode’ and “on demand”, which is, in our opinion, the new frontier for the provision of professional advice.

While this may seem, from one side, like a very simplistic solution to respond effectively to the reduction of the budget, on the other side is a challenge that can be supported and won only by really competent professionals. The creation of the total value for the customer is our unique purpose. In this context we have hence created two proprietary methodologies, which we apply in an integrated way with the most important internationally recognized frameworks (such as PMBOK®, PRINCE2®, but also the ISO Standard 21500 and more and more Agile approaches and methodologies), by putting stakeholders at the core of the projects, turning them from ‘viewers’ into main characters.

That’s why our virtual oriented model allows you to fully release all the potential value of the initiative, in all of its axes or dimensions: 1. shorter projects (reduced time to market); 2. most effective projects with measurable results, since the targets are shared by and with stakeholders; 3. cheaper Projects because results-oriented, without unnecessary inefficiencies (value for money).

We help companies in gaining and consolidating an ‘agile’ mindset, by redesigning the organizational model to support customer centrality and value creation.

We offer high-quality professional advice to clients across the world, combining leading-edge thinking with expert practical application, providing access to the latest developments in risk management best practice.
