Multiple reports. Multiple formats. A different version of the truth in every view by the time they reach the board. DV8 builds the connected layer that turns ISG's overhead, revenue, margin and PBT data into one live decision system — refreshed in real time, with no new software for your team to learn.
This is a common problem across finance and project-driven businesses — and one that usually takes far too long to solve, because fixing it by hand means months of manual reconciliation before anyone trusts the output. Each report on its own is well built. The problem is the white space between them.
OH, headcount, revenue and PBT live in separate sheets. Someone re-keys numbers every month to make them agree.
"YTD run rate" and "FY forecast" are snapshots — accurate the day they were built, already aging by the board meeting.
Budget vs. actual vs. previous forecast — each report defines "variance" slightly differently. Confidence erodes.
Commentary explaining the "why" sits in a slide deck, disconnected from the live numbers it's describing.
Zoho, Microsoft 365 and Copilot can already do most of this. The gap isn't new software — it's that nobody's connected what ISG already owns.
Most teams or departments never see this table next to a live number — it lives in a strategy deck, reviewed once a quarter. Connected properly, it's not a reference document. It's the backdrop every report compares itself against, automatically, every day.
Below is a working preview of the connected layer DV8 builds — using ISG's own FY26 structure: overhead & headcount, secured revenue & margin, six-month PBT, the full-year revenue bridge, and a driver-level bridge most teams only build once a quarter. Drag the timeline below to see it for yourself. In the live build, no one drags anything — it updates from Zoho Analytics automatically, in real time, on whatever device someone opens it on.
Drag the timeline above and watch the revenue bar, the margin line, and the KPI cards move together — because they're reading from one dataset, not four. Today, three different people maintain that consistency by hand, every single month. The connected model maintains it automatically, in real time, for every report ISG runs.
This is the kind of view ISG isn't getting today: not just "PBT missed budget," but exactly which lever — revenue mix, margin compression, or overhead — moved it, for any month you select. Most finance teams build this once a quarter, by hand, in a deck. Here it updates with the timeline above.
Every existing report maps back to its source data in Zoho Projects — no re-entry, no new process for your team.
Power Automate and Power Query pull updates on a schedule — the model refreshes itself, no manual month-end push.
An AI agent on Azure OpenAI and Copilot Studio flags variance drivers and drafts board commentary in your voice.
Fixed-price, phased, board-ready at every stage. Your team owns the model from day one — built to be run internally.
DV8 isn't reselling one platform, and ISG's team isn't learning a new one. We connect the tools already paid for and already familiar — and leave the model ready to absorb the next acquisition without a rebuild.
The connected model below starts with financial data because it's the fastest path to a working system the board can trust. The same architecture extends to every other team holding a piece of ISG's full picture.
The board-ready transformation plan and the scoped engagement proposal are ready for review. No new software for your team to learn — the same reports, refreshed in real time instead of rebuilt by hand. The next step is a 30-minute working session to confirm scope against your FY26 calendar.
