Automated business processes function hand in hand with your human business processes. Defining which business processes will be automated, what they will do, and how they will interact with humans and other systems is the objective of requirements definition, analysis, and logical design. They are the crucial initial phases of all IT projects.
With over 13 billion dollars being spent in 2002 on these activities, it represents 20% of Systems Development Life Cycle costs. Manually intensive, expensive, slow and error prone, it has been recognized time after time as the root cause of project failures. ProActivity automates, accelerates and advances requirements definition analysis and logical design.
Our clients achieve a 400% improvement in speed and quality for ¼ the cost of their existing methods.
Unlike any other business process analysis solution, ProActivity is the first & only that:
- Automates the detail capture and validation of “AS IS” business processes;
- Generates all graphical process maps dynamically on the fly;
- Provides multidimensional analysis of your current state & future design;
- Creates a strategic process knowledgebase that can be reused and extended
The ProActivity solution is groundbreaking because unlike any other solution and approach, ProActivity treats business processes as data, not pictures or a collect of distinct models. Business process information is collected, validated and stored in a relational database as individual pieces of information, which can then be retrieved and presented an a wide array of formats. For example, when you want to see a process map, you can decide on the fly which processes you want to see and by what swimlanes, and ProActivity draws the map for you automatically, using the data in the relational database. This approach also allows the maps to be “alive” and dynamic, enabling complete drill down into the data behind the process. If the data related to a process is updated, the maps are updated in real time. No other solution comes close.
The ProActivity solution provides tools to automate, accelerate, and advance and the three main components of requirements definition, analysis, and logical design:
- Discovery, validation, and analysis of how your business really works.
- Understanding your requirements and logical design options in detail.
- Acting to effectively communicate, integrate, and advance logical forward design(s).
These tools include;
- Automated interview wizards to extract business process knowledge from your subject matter experts quickly and effectively, eliminating endless rounds of meetings and follow-up sessions to clarify and "get it right"
- Patented validation tools to weave together the knowledge from a variety of sources to test, challenge and make certain that the process knowledge is accurate in detail, greatly improving the level of confidence of the resulting analysis and logical design
- Extensive user defined attributes to extend the data and type of data contained in the business process knowledge base, providing unlimited customization possibilities to capture and analyze information relevant to your business
- An analysis and reporting engine that allows you to view and create unlimited reports in multiple dimensions of your business process knowledge, creating catalogs of reports or dynamic “what if” analysis via a simple drag and drop interface, eliminating the need for three ring binders and out of date requirements definitions and logical designs
- Simulation to test new processes "in the lab" and their impact on interrelated systems and processes
- Publishing capabilities to HTML, Word, Visio, etc. to keep all stakeholders and team members up to date and on the same page
- A centralized, common, synchronized Business Process Knowledge base to provide all of the stakeholders and team members responsible for physical design, coding, testing, training, and ongoing maintenance phases an up to date, collaborative resource to get their jobs done properly
- ProActivity Process Exchange (PAPX) which enables any process map or report output to be exported from the Business Process Knowledgebase via XML directly into physical design, data modeling, simulation, BPM, and web services tools, automating the handoff between business analysts and system developers
ProActivity is scalable. Start with a single process, project, or system and expand to define your entire organization and portfolio of systems. Start with a single user and scale so that everyone in your enterprise can access, communicate and collaborate with the business process knowledge that defines how they deliver value to clients.
The ProActivity Solution is redefining and revolutionizing the field of business process discovery, analysis, and optimization. We invite you to take a closer look.
