It seems like 2020 is going to be known as the year that organizations will be tested on adapting to situations out of our control! But crisis often provides organizations with the opportunity to look deep into behaviors to determine what can be done to survive and come out stronger. For enterprise organizations, those “behaviors” include steps to improve the company’s business processes. But to improve your business processes, you must first understand them, which requires the need to explore and evaluate those processes.
The Association of Business Process Management defines business process analysis as “…the action of conducting a review and gaining an understanding of business processes. It involves reviewing the components of a process, including inputs, outputs, procedures, controls, actors, applications, data, technologies, and their interactions to produce results.” The analysis includes the evaluation of time, cost, capacity and quality of processes, being able to use static or dynamic visual models of the process, data collection from the beginning to the end of activities, analysis of value chain, end-to-end modeling and functional decomposition.
With all projects, personally or at the enterprise level, to be effective you must have the right tools at your disposal. The right tool will help ensure the success of the task in a timelier manner, and with a higher success rate, than if you used something else. That’s where OpenText™ ProVision comes in.
