Business Process Optimization

The key question that we need to ask is, “How do we ensure cost effectiveness across the enterprise?“

SQA Centre understands challenges faced by you; of increasing budget pressures and the delivery of best quality and service to your customers using organization's restricted budgets.

SQA Centre’s business process optimization (BPO) program will help you boost staff productivity and maximize performance of your enterprise technology. In the past, ignoring process opportunities and specific measurement programs often initiated a destructive cycle, as organizations disappointed with their project results blamed their technology, and then were reluctant to further invest in systems and related processes. This drove them to inadequately fund and scope technology upgrades and expansions, which crippled their ability to leverage the technology and led to even further disappointment.

With SQA Centre’s BPO program, you can break this cycle and finally achieve the enterprise technology performance and payback you expect. As you start with the BPO program, you can instantly start measuring and evaluating your company's processes, you will obtain valuable insights into their efficiency.

Nothing can be improved unless it can be measured. As a result, your company’s processes will be faster, less expensive and more transparent. Continuous optimization is the route to Business Process Excellence!

Integrate the Enterprise

Organizations address business needs through established processes and complex information systems. In order for your business processes to create synergy and value, the information systems that support operations must be integrated across your organization.

Traditionally, enterprise integration has been accomplished with data aggregation and integration, client server architectures, and middleware. With the advent of web technologies, N-tier architectures and web services have become common facilitators of integration. However, enterprises do not remain static. They are called upon to address new business needs or incorporate additional information sources. Even if there are existing software components available, your IT departments might typically build new code to integrate them into the enterprise. This is an expensive and time-consuming process and would not confide with the organizational standards. SQA Centre consultants understand that Enterprise Integration is not just about sharing data between applications; it’s primary focus is on sharing both business data and business process. We can provide insights into how the new designs and traditional applications can work effectively together in your enterprise. And we will show you how to streamline and simplify implementation and what the bottom line impact can be. – Find out more ...

Change & Configuration Management

In the world of business, change is a competitive advantage and survival often depends on adaptability. But change in the IT environment is not simple. The IT environment is fragile and increasingly complex so it’s hard to know what IT components support which critical business services. And, changes in one area can break things in another.

These factors can make change intimidating. But changes in IT can be a positive force if properly managed and controlled. They can be quickly made to react to and improve the IT and business environment. Nonetheless, unmanaged changes made by IT are responsible for up to 80% of system outages. More often than not, someone, somewhere in IT has made an unapproved change, and created an unsupported configuration. They often do so with the best intentions, but with limited perspective on the potential impact of these changes. Even when planned, 20% of changes cause system failures because IT lacks visibility into the up-stream and down-stream dependencies that enable a critical business service.

IT outsourcing for strategic advantage

IT outsourcing has grown rapidly from the early 1970's through the client/server revolution and into the Internet age. This growth has occurred while IT has evolved from focusing on IT reduction (hardware, software and staff) to IT Expansion and IT Access - driven by the Internet revolution. The economic realities of today dictate that IT needs to focus not only on IT Access - including virtual marketplaces, supply chain integration and Web-to-Enterprise Integration (WEISM) - but accomplish IT Access while reducing cost and improving service levels.

All this needs to be done while also demonstrating the Business Value of IT. This is where outsourcing comes in. Strategic IT outsourcing has the goal of increasing the Return on Assets (ROA) of an IT organization's capital investment, as well as maximizing operating income through outsourced application maintenance and development. The savings from these efforts can be used to fund top-line initiatives like supply chain and Web-to-Enterprise Integration – Find out more ...
