Business Process Analysis
A proper business process analysis is a critical component to achieving the desired end result for a software implementation or upgrade. It should answer the “why” behind everything you do.
Why are you in business? Why do your customers buy from you?

This allows us to properly calibrate our broad scope business software systems to align with your company’s specific needs.
Some of the areas we cover during this phase include:
- Identifying the most important factors in your business’ success.

- Learning how your business operates from the inside out.
- And seeking ways in which enhancements can be made regarding: improving efficiencies, doing more with less, increasing communication, and decreasing mistakes.
Process Review
The focus of a Process Review is to identify the ‘how’ in your business process.
- How does your business function day to day?
- How do people perform their individual tasks, and how do those tasks relate to others?
- How does information flow through your company?
Understanding how you operate is a vital component in our ability to design a business management system that fits your business processes. We want to improve efficiencies by increasing automation.
Needs Assessment and Risk Analysis
Knowing what you need is the first step to achieving the goals of a business software implementation. Our needs assessment focuses on identifying the pain points and opportunities for improvement within your organization. Once we are aware of the factors which may be holding your business back or causing processes to be less than efficient, we can configure your new software application and business processes to overcome them.
With the needs assessment complete, and all pertinent information gathered, we will perform a thorough risk analysis. Doing this prior to beginning an implementation enables us to reduce risks and develop a plan for mitigation ahead of time.
