Your European point of contact
SBSI builds and operates the platform. As SBSI’s official representative for Europe, Cloud Tower Group runs demos, scopes studies with you, supports your teams through data collection in English or German, and helps turn the results into a decision paper. Where the numbers point to a change of platform, organization or leadership, our own services continue from there.
ClearView WorkSuite
Who it is for
Four situations in which the same question comes up: what does the current landscape cost, and what would a change return?
Consultants
Supporting clients with total cost of ownership and business case work for HCM or ERP, on a repeatable method instead of spreadsheets.
HCM and ERP suppliers
Providing systems, services and support to enterprise clients, and wanting benchmark-backed ROI in the sales conversation.
Private equity and acquirers
Buying or merging businesses and needing a clear view of back-office cost before and after the transaction.
WorkSuite
Platform capabilities
From the first cost survey to the transition plan, inside one platform.
Detailed TCO/ROI analysis
A comprehensive cost collection method across HCM and Finance functions. Start with a single pillar such as payroll or general ledger, or cover all of them. More effort than the express route, and a very precise view of total cost and a highly accurate business case in return.
Express TCO/ROI analysis
For HCM when internal teams are stretched. Shorter surveys with guided drop-down questions; reports combine your answers with averages from SBSI’s benchmark database to forecast total cost and the expected savings.
Implementation transition planning
Once cost and return are known, forecast savings against the key decisions of the programme, so executives see when savings can be expected over the life of the contract, and why.
RFP management
End-to-end RFP analysis with multi-vendor comparison, question scoring and weighting, and best-fit reports. Use SBSI’s question libraries or create your own.
Benchmark reporting
Research on SBSI’s study database by industry, organization size and platform, including the average potential ROI across comparable companies.
Mobile app
Native iOS and Android apps: complete surveys on site, follow dashboards, receive study notifications and generate executive reports on the move.
Beyond HCM

Questions we are asked
Who provides the software?
SBSI, based in Grantsville, Utah, USA, develops and operates ClearView WorkSuite, ClearView RFP and ClearView Security Hub. Cloud Tower Group is SBSI’s official representative for Europe and your contact for demos, scoping and study support.
Where is our data processed?
In Europe. Studies for European clients are hosted in Europe. The platform is operated by SBSI; before a study starts, the required data processing terms under the GDPR and the Swiss FADP are put in place. Many cost studies can be run on aggregated figures without personal data.
Does ClearView favour a particular HCM or ERP vendor?
No. The method compares cost and fit across platforms, and our own advice remains independent of which platform you choose.
What does it cost?
That depends on the product, the scope and the number of pillars. We quote after the scoping conversation. Prices are not published.
