Business Process Re-Design
Optimizing a business process is frequently the first step in identifying candidate SOA services.
Some clients have a "Business Process Architect" and identify a portfolio of core and supporting business processes. Lean design techniques can optimize these processes.
Hot spot analysis can identify where services can have the most impact on the business functions supported by targeted business processes.
By identifying common process patterns across business domains you can discover opportunities where SOA services can be re-used across business domains and deliver significant value.
Whether you are doing SOA or not we use Lean techniques to optimize business processes. We can perform the analysis and facilitate Kaizen sessions to promote and improve standardized activities and processes.
