Business Process Solutions

Denovo is committed to helping you ensure that your business processes are configured to make the most of your existing or new software applications and service processes. We work with you to identify and map business process systems -- to rethink and redesign core processes in a way that easily communicates the entire system and quickly identifies areas that deliver measurable business value. Through our Process Before Technology℠ approach, we help you streamline your processes and work closely with you to deliver a solution that provides maximum benefit to your operations.

The Opportunity: Intentional analysis, design, and management of key business processes can lead to competitive advantage and successful execution. Rigorous business process definition and alignment of processes and resources are being increasingly used to seek sustainable improvements in financial and operational measures.

Despite awareness and focus on the importance of business processes, translating this vision into a proven reality remains an elusive goal. We believe a major reason for this is an "execution” gap between the vision and its technical implementation which prevents realization of improvement goals, despite buy-in and best efforts on the part of leaders and workers alike. What's missing is a tangible, understandable and implementable answer to the questions: "By what method(s) are you:” improving your business; building your organization for long-term performance; and considering the future of your business?

The Answer: Denovo's business process methodology is designed to answer this question through a convergence of software technology, systems thinking, business process management and powerful knowledge representation techniques. Denovo applies methodology, tools and skills to provide a comprehensive view of your operational execution. The initial step is a Business Process Search Conference event held with your team of business analysts, subject matter experts, functional representatives and management. This customizable workshop typically consists of:



The guided use of this methodology and its related systems and tools creates actionable business insight for your enterprise.

A Foundation for Improvement: Effective use of technology to automate processes is often limited by process failures. It is critical to thoroughly define and understand business processes and their interdependencies and relationship within the enterprise before process automation can product maximum benefit. In Denovo's Process Before Technologysm approach, we provide the knowledge, guidance and tools to analyze existing processes and clearly define the true nature of your business execution systems in a quantified framework. Deriving a select set of quantitative metrics for the evaluated processes provides an objective standard useful in assessing process performance and improvements. Rigorous, system-wide description of processes and their quantitative monitoring allows determination and application of the proper level and nature of technology to produce maximum benefits. Furthermore, this information forms a foundation for establishing and demonstrating the control of business operations necessary for the compliance with corporate governance and fiduciary stewardship requirements and regulations (like Sarbanes-Oxley).

The Benefits: The real economic rewards come not only from savings in operating costs and reduction in waste. Effective understanding of and alignment of business processes allows the enterprise to leverage existing assets and human capital for maximum effectiveness. Further, supportive and managed business processes enhance organization agility and the ability to flexibly adapt to real drivers of business change.
