Solution: Envision Process

Modeling and management tools for business process, activities and organization

Business Process Management System - BPMS

BPM allows governance of a business process environment to improve agility and operational performance.

 Continues process improvement or re-engineering?

Enterprise business process and activities modeling is the first stage of any serious study for seeking performance improvement. Should the objective is to improve the performance, to define an IT strategy aligned on the operational needs, to map

 and urbanize the data processing system (IT), to seek for an ISO-9001-2000 quality certification or quite simply to understand the company details in order to better sell it, success will obligatorily pass by a perfect knowledge of the current situation in term of process, before proposing any scenario of improvement. The processes being the most stable elements of any organization, it is natural to consider them in priority.

To analyze thousands of data, to identify a point of improvement in a forest of information, to maintain up to date a great quantity of process and activities diagrams, to communicate synthesis and recommendations to many and heterogeneous actors, to work in group, require a perfect organization without weakness, adapted tools and nerves of steel…

Graphic modeling is the most used technique and the most tested to achieve the goal while keeping the control of the project and its cost, without intensive hiring of costly external consultants.

Envision is certified TOGAF 8

and based on the following methodologies : VOLLE - UML - WOJTYNA / BRANDENBURG©

 New   Includes risks management over business process and activities

 Envision Risks for Business

Risks Management allows:

  • Identification of hazards sources from process and activities

  • Generation of scenarios in order to find the origin (genesis) of new hazards

  • Definition and characterization of risks criticity (gravity/frequency or probability)

  • Definition of operational and technical barriers in order to reduce to an acceptable level the consequences of un wanted events and help to master the residual risks

  • Management of incidents to continuously monitor new risks and the performance of the barriers impact

  • Implementation of actions plan

  • Control protection cost and actions efficiency

Solution key points

  • Productivity, personnel engagement and motivation
    The simplicity of the tool's implementation associated with an automatic and  interactive checking of the modeling rules allow error free entries of activities diagrams, directly by the staff in charge of a business or activities. A greater motivation is then observed due to a better vision of the common objective and its benefits. This approach reduced time for interviews, facilitate interviews management and greatly increase the quality of the collected data.
     

  • Information leveraging and traceability
    Centralizes and shares information in real time across actors, projects and organization, thus all actors share immediately the same definition of the project

     

  • Evolutionarily and flexibility
    At any moment you can completely reconfigure the tool to add new views (or sub views) and new diagrams…
     
  • Decision-making aid
    The “as is” model described the current processes, activities and data and makes it possible to identify and focus the effort on the critical aspects. The “will be” model shows a vision of the future, the necessary investments and the awaited benefit. You evaluate the options with confidence because information is reliable and up to date. You measure the costs and the deadlines to find urgent solutions and long-term changes.

UML: The cement between the bricks

The UML method is integrated in each stage. This method is transparent to the users for the higher stages. It is voluntarily hidden in order to facilitate the approach with not initiated users. UML elements  are present in all lower layers of the models in order to maintain general coherence and to prepare the work for object oriented design which could result from this. At any moment the user has access to all UML diagrams. A UML-C++/Java code and applications generator option is available, for designing the missing elements. Thus the traceability is total over processes, activities, programs and data bases.
