IST Corporate Performance Consultants

What IST Corporate Performance Consultants does

iST-CPC is a privately held Pakistani business consulting and IT outsourcing firm founded in 2016 and headquartered at Beaumont Plaza, Karachi. The company delivers Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Corporate Performance Management (CPM) solutions to mid-market enterprises, complemented by management and technology consulting, professional services (PMO, outsourcing, training), IT infrastructure, application development, and information security consulting. Its addressable segments span trading, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, textiles, FMCGs, energy, construction, and business consultancy — a deliberate multi-vertical positioning within the Pakistani mid-market. The company self-describes 130+ client logos on its website, though no individual anchor accounts are named.

The core product is a SaaS-delivered ERP/CPM stack complemented by a proprietary 'Sure-Success Deployment Model' claimed to deliver ERP implementations in months rather than years and at the lowest total cost of ownership. Functionally, CPM provides graphical scorecards, dashboards, forecasting, planning, and budgeting capabilities layered on top of ERP. The technology stack is built primarily on the Microsoft platform (SQL Server, SharePoint, Power BI) with adjacent capabilities in Asterisk-based IP Telephony and IBM Domino; iST-CPC also resells the Sidat Hyder Enterprise Applications Suite (Microsoft .Net + PowerBuilder), which supports multi-company, multi-location, and multi-division ERP. Strategic partnerships anchor delivery: iST-CPC is Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates' primary Outsourcing Services Partner and an Epicor ERP channel partner, giving it access to Epicor's globally benchmarked SaaS ERP (positioned as 'Visionary' in Gartner's 2018 Magic Quadrant for cloud ERP).

Revenue mechanics blend subscription/recurring SaaS (ERP & EPM), time-and-materials professional services (consulting, PMO, IT infrastructure, application development), and software licensing (Sidat Hyder suite). Pricing is opaque and quote-based. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales and direct engagement with C-level buyers, supported by vendor channels. The company is founder-owned, with three principals (CEO Sohail Rizwan, CTO Imran Rais, Director Sales Ahmer Kashif) all previously employed at Sidat Hyder, alongside a bench of consultants averaging roughly 10 years of experience. There is no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no evidence of a recent operational update beyond the website's 2017 copyright — limiting visibility into current scale or trajectory.
