- 18. C2C: Becoming Mainstream
What is C2C for IBM? Apple?
IBM and Apple do not specifically mention C2C in their annual
stockholder filings.
However their recent C2C performances clearly indicate:
― They closely manage their working capital and
― Find it strategically and tactically important to continually find greater efficiencies in
their cash conversion cycles.
2007 C2C:
― IBM; 6.4!
― Apple: (58.2)!
© 2008 Tatum, LLC All rights reserved. 18
- 19. C2C: Becoming Mainstream
C2C can also be used for software and service companies who
don’t have inventory!
While processes for providing services aren’t required by GAAP to be
“costed and capitalized” as with companies with inventory and
manufacturing activities,
These processes can still be analyzed in a C2C-like fashion.
Examples of Processes used:
―Insurance Company: (Claims and New Customer Appraisal /
Renewal)
― 3rd Party Healthcare Provider: (Receivables optimization)
―Any service provider: (Warranty Services, Returns, CRM)

- 20. C2C: Actionable by Benchmarking
C2C can also be an actionable metric;
To quantify cash opportunities!
To indicate potential business processes which can yield cash
opportunities.
How?
Through Benchmarking or “Show me the money!”

Identification of Cash opportunities is relatively easy
But what are the obstacles for realizing these cash
opportunities?
Typical Working Capital Improvement Efforts require
Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR).
BPR is often a difficult, frustrating, and long process as
exemplified by Figure 1; 4 Phases of a Working Capital BPR

These BPR efforts take time and resources before any
indication that change is necessary.
Time, Resources, and Change are common and significant
obstacles in achieving success.
BPR efforts often indicate new / enhanced software is
required.
New or enhanced software also require significant time,
significant resources, and significant management
