What will the world look like in 2 years from now?
Can you remember fidget spinners? Back in the late 2010s, it seemed that all kids between 8 and 13 years had at least 3 to 5 of these pocket-sized toys in their school bags.
Children were trading their favourite spinners at school, the same way as we used to trade Panini fan cards of our favourite football players back in the 80s and 90s.
But, look around now!
Do you still recognize fidget spinners today?
It seems that within 2 to 3 years, all of these handy and knotty bitty finger-tappers completely vanished from all kids-rooms and school bags. Even they are impossible to find in toys stores nowadays.
This sad story might also happen to your company! How can you be sure that your market offers will still be demanded in 2 years? Can you rely on this?
Without a crisis-resistant strategic framework, Managing Directors and CFO offices lose focus in today’s volatile and unsecure economic environment.
But, don’t worry! You are not alone!
More than 20 market leaders, we have worked with in recent years, were at the same point where you are now.
Do you want to regain the feeling of having your business processes fully under control?

The ONE reason why…
Centida was founded in 2013 based on the simple need to build an efficient cost monitoring system.
At the time, Christian and Ilya were working in leading positions for a large orange telecommunications company.
There they painfully realized that quick answers to crucial business specific questions were not available ad hoc, leaving leaders in despair. In order to obtain the simplest information on cost management, the heavy mills of the data machine had to be powered first.
These rigid structures were inefficient, cost a lot of time and resources and as soon as the information was prepared, it was already outdated.
For Christian and Ilya, this gave rise to the idea of setting up an agile information lab, in which business information could be produced faster, using agile tools and technologies.
A spin-off was founded whose outcome was so convincing that it gained a special status as an additional workbench alongside the core business in the Group.
Christian and Ilya had managed to master the transformation from dissatisfied Financial Controlling specialists to agile technology providers under their own steam.
Centida came to life.
Since then, Christian being the CEO has taken care of the management recipes and Ilya being the CTO prepares the meals, technologically delicious, based on a One-Truth-Model approach and conveying convincingly consistent truths at the first click.

Over-regulation, laws, cybercrime and an uncertain market situation – are these also the fairways through which you have to steer your company?
Are you passionately devoting 110% to your work and trying to keep your employees and investors happy, but instead of a transparent business environment, you are facing sandbanks and cliffs in strong currents?
At the end of the day, employees and investors are still happy. However, many customers and suppliers are already migrating to other locations. And you may worry about how long business relationships that have been built up over many years can be maintained in the future?
You are not alone! Over 20 secret market leaders have been exactly where you are today.
But how can it be that competitors are more stable in navigating the waters? As if they had a navigation system that predicts bottlenecks and traffic jams? They seem to be able to adapt more quickly to the market environment and juggle compliance requirements with ease. At the same time, they bring their visions to reality and make this world a better place… The key to success lies not only in efficient processes, but also in modern Business Intelligence solutions, which are indispensable today.
Economic success is a combination of a mature, solid corporate strategy and a reliable information base from which the management can derive important options for action.
Centida’s Advisory Services offer the optimal mix of both: you gain insights into your processes that previously seemed closed to you. At the same time, you are equipped with a technical portfolio that takes away any uncertainty and will be a reliable tool for the security of your company.
