Our Core Expertise

End-to-end advisory across the full transformation lifecycle — from strategy and vendor selection through implementation and evaluation.

We Don't Just Advise. We Deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of financial institutions do you work with?
We specialise in insurance companies (life and non-life), banks, and financial holding groups — primarily across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Greece and other European countries. Our team has deep expertise in the specific regulatory and operational landscape of each market.
What are the top benefits of collaborating with BUST Advisory?
  1. A standardised end-to-end methodology — covering discovery, design and measurement — that brings structure from day one.
  2. An outside perspective that challenges legacy assumptions teams may no longer question internally.
  3. Fresh eyes that surface automation opportunities often invisible to those closest to the process.
  4. Benchmarks and proven patterns drawn from comparable insurers across the region.
  5. Our professionals spend 95% of their time on deliverables - no long waits on the bench leading to extensive knowledge and experience from real projects rather than from theories.
  6. A lasting shift toward a more change-ready, pro-transformation culture.
Does collaboration with BUST Advisory primarily lead to efficiency gains through FTE savings?
Efficiency through FTE reduction is a byproduct, not the sole objective. The primary goal is the reallocation of human capital toward high-value strategic initiatives — ensuring savings are sustainable, not short-term.
How long does a core system replacement typically take?
The full lifecycle — from RFP through go-live with first product line — typically spans 18 to 36 months depending on the complexity of the institution and the number of product lines in scope. We can engage at any stage: pre-implementation advisory, vendor selection only, or end-to-end program management.
Do you deliver RPA in-house or with partners?
Our team includes certified UiPath and BluePrism developers, business analysts, solution architects and team leads. However, we prefer to lead our customers to set up RPA teams within their company to become full self-sufficient from the very beginning. We provide guidance on how to select platform, how fully leverage it, what skills the team should have and how to scale up.
What makes BUST Advisory different from larger consulting firms?
We bring Big 4 methodology with a boutique firm's agility and accountability. Our senior consultants — many with 10–15 years of experience — are personally involved in your project throughout. You work with the people you hire, not junior staff.
