For software development projects, a qualified Business Analyst will determine business requirements quickly and thoroughly, consider stakeholder expectations and perform gap analysis, and then translate the requirements into industry-standard documents that are readily usable by designers, developers, end users, or even your customers. The suite of documentation we produce include:

• Business Requirements - drawing out and developing requirements from the business unit stakeholders and subject matter experts,
• Functional specifications - written for both business and technical stakeholders,
• Test Plans - each test object is traceable and aligned to a business requirement,
• Project Plans & Schedules - tracks and monitors smooth implementation,
• Training Manuals, User Guides and Online Help, and
• Policies and Procedures Documentation - aligns business strategic goals, work ethics and industry best practices.

We can also be responsible for the successful completion of a major business or technology transformation effort. Activities conducted by a Project Manager may include coordinating the delivery of multiple projects, developing cost benefit analyses, communicating to an executive committee, creating and reporting program status, allocating resources across multiple projects, defining project governance policies and managing the financial concerns of the project.

We manage the development effort from design through to go live and post implementation reviews, following the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMPOK) methodologies.

Our software solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing intranet and Internet sites, to automate and streamline your workflow processes, and to provide real time updates for both internal and external information management.

We first focus on understanding your current business procedures and workflow and we listen to your business concerns and challenges. We then analyse these processes and issues against best practice to determine where improvements, enhancements or the application of technology can increase effectiveness, improve bottom line impact and resolve issues.

The solutions we propose are aligned with your core business objectives and strategic direction. Examples of areas where we can assist include the establishment of new departments with proper policies, procedures and workflow in place, and management of business development projects from design to implementation and hand over to Business As Usual (BAU) teams.

To achieve the desired results we perform activities such as workshop facilitation, process modelling, information modelling and impact analysis, and we utilise a range of skills and experience including knowledge of industry best practices, business process re-engineering, use case analysis, modelling tools and diagramming techniques.
