franchise networks

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, 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.

Do you have a successful business model and wonder if you can franchise? We can conduct an assessment of your business systems and determine how much effort would be required to start up your franchise network. We identify hidden costs, potential pitfalls and work with you to devise an action plan to take your business forward.

If you are already franchising, we can provide professional advice on ways to grow your franchise network, which may involve the automation of your information and reporting systems, streamlining your sales and training programs, and reviewing all your business systems at both a strategic and operational level to ensure your network is functioning most effectively.

A specialised business coaching package tailored to suit the specific needs of your franchise network will ease the workload on your Business Development Managers. You may outsource certain business coaching functions such as the regular follow up and review of business development action plans, as well as providing motivation and support for local marketing activities by fostering creative and innovative thinking.
