Key project activities included defining material requirements, analyzing the capabilities of the supply market, developing an evaluation model for suppliers, and negotiating supplier contracts. • Deloitte Consulting partnered with FCY to custom develop their next generation clearing system for financial products, a 500 person-year, $100M effort. The first steps of the project were to revise FCY’s existing Systems Development Life Cycle process to better suit such a large-scale endeavor and to develop a roadmap for the project. • The custom developed application consists of 680 screens and 210 batch programs Results • The strategic sourcing process implemented at MCX has led to $5.7M savings in the first year.
