| What is this?
This service facilitates the customers to model the business
processes for which software systems are being developed.
The activities in this service implement the activities of
the Business Modeling discipline of the Rational Unified Process
(RUP) after suitably configuring them to suit to the customer's
needs.
Why this?
Most of the software applications automate some or other business
processes. A good understanding of these business processes
is essential to identify the scope of the application, evolve
the software requirements and derive the software architecture.
Who can benefit out of this?
Both stakeholders and developers are benefited. Stakeholders
get a clear vision of what is being developed, especially
when they are developing products. Those stakeholders who
acquire developed system or outsource the development of the
system are also benefited as a clear business process model
provides a basis for developing the application or product.
The models form the contract between the stakeholder and the
vendor.
Having well defined and managed business process models help
the analysts identify reusable services and business components.
They also facilitate the software architects in evolving appropriate
architectural elements thus paving way for a robust system
that eliminates the waste due to rework. This, in turn, leads
to reduced cost, enhanced productivity and good quality.
What are the different models we offer?
Astra Infotech offers the following services with respect
to business process modeling:
- Training: This is a day's program imparting the basics
of business process modeling using UML.
- Consulting: This service helps implement the business
process modeling. Our consultants work along with the system
analysts in establishing the appropriate methodology that
helps the customers document the business processes as models.
- Quickstart: This is a combination of training and consulting.
The methodology is imparted in a short time with the hands-on
being done on the project itself. This provides the shortest
path to implement the methodology, ideally suited for small
teams and projects.
What is the normal working model?
- Trainings are imparted onsite with our trainers directly
interacting with the project team
- Consulting is either done wholly onsite or using an onsite-offshore
model. Part of the documentation activities could be done
offshore. This offers cost effective model for the customers.
