Need and Opportunity Analysis
This activity is foundational in the pyramid of activities that leads to the realization of value from technology initiatives. Cost-benefit analysis and alternatives evaluation are key to finding the optimal way to realizing strategic goals and objectives for your organization.
Business Analysis
ATS Partners believes that well elicited, documented, modeled, reviewed, approved and managed requirements are the cornerstone for any successful organiziational change or transformation effort. It is essential to create requirements, along with supporting visual artifacts, in a form and format that provides shared clarity and understanding between both business stakeholders and technology delivery teams. We employ a five-artifact framework that drives that clarity for both business and technology stakeholders, resulting in quicker delivery of value, minimization of costly re-work, all while providing a foundation for ongoing business agility and responsiveness to changing marketplace dynamics.
Business Architecture
At a more strategic organization-wide level, we assist clients with the development or optimization of an organization’s business architecture, taking into account key value chains within the business, the organization’s strategic objectives, and an assessment of supporting functions and technology systems to realize those objectives.
Business Process Optimization
BPM Governance: At the most strategic level, we assist clients with overall process governance, reporting and management practices to ensure that BPM efforts are ongoing, as opposed to one-time improvement efforts.
Business Process Modeling: This activity is at the core of process awareness, and is often the first step toward process maturity and excellence. We bring proven practices that will drive clarity for stakeholders across functional silos.
Process Performance Management: This is the most detailed and analytical level of process management. We employ a “four lenses of analysis” framework to assess process performance, and leverage tools from disciplines such as Lean Six-Sigma to ensure maximum process efficiency and effectiveness for competitive advantage.
