Business Process Mapping

Datawright’s implementation strategy is designed to deliver the greatest benefit in the shortest time scale with minimum risk to our customers.

In 2001 Datawright, working with BAE Systems and the University of Durham Business School, began to develop a set of standards for the capture and defining of existing processes within a business.

The Business Process Mapping (BPM) program is designed to:

• Give a view of processes ‘as are’.
• Allow the management team to make significant changes to processes to ensure greater efficiency, reduced replication of effort, stronger visibility, defined ownership and best practice.

BPM works by interviewing key users from across the business – including those at the ‘delivery end’ – to identify their roles and activities and any processes used. This gives a top-to-bottom, end-to-end view of the business with a full footprint of systems, enabling the creation of a series of process maps.

The maps can be published on your company intranet or server in html format or produced in hard copy to allow feedback. Feedback obtained at sessions involving all users can help identify requirements for process amends.

The maps are specifically designed to allow companies to manage major business change and position them for continuous improvement.
