Business Analysis
Understanding your business processes is the foundation of successful projects
Anyone considering IT projects must first understand the underlying business processes. On the basis of well-defined processes, we then design and build your IT systems in such a way that you can control your company in an optimally effective and legally compliant manner.
The goal is to create transparency with regard to runtimes, resources and risks - during the business analysis we record the actual and the target of the processes as well as the requirements derived from them. First and foremost is understanding: What makes the company tick, what principles does it follow, and how do the processes run?
Project requirements and solution |
Whether harmonizing processes due to company mergers, digitizing manufacturing processes or introducing new business models. Understanding current and future business processes is central. This is exactly where we come in. Based on the experience we have gained as business analysts in many industries and projects, we quickly familiarize ourselves with specialist topics and know who to ask what questions. Added to this is our in-depth IT expertise, so we understand the business and IT language. The basis for all further steps in the project: A central result of the BA is always a modeling of processes, based on standards such as BPML. |
Business Analysis: Agile, iterative and together with our customers |
In agile project methods, the role of the business analyst does not end with the description of the business requirements:

A typical situation for a business analysis is the merger of companies where a new, overarching system for sales management is required - such as in one of our projects in the insurance industry. Here, it is important to understand the sales processes of the business units to be merged. We consulted the business unit and performed a methodical analysis - in the form of business process modeling. We also consulted data, because organizational structures can be identified with the help of a data-based analysis. We were then able to discuss this result with the department.
Another good example of this is a project currently underway in the financial sector. A backlog is used to show which communication processes with customers have already been processed by the customer service department. We took a close look and discovered that many processes were not open, but were simply missing customer feedback.
