TRUSTWORTHY ADVICE FOR YOUR ICT NEEDS

Business Process Study Services

Business Process Study is a structured method of understanding, docu-menting, modeling, analyzing and determining the best process for executing an evolving end-to-end business process to optimize efficiency.

Many companies lack the time and ability to get such a project off the ground when faced with new enterprise resource planning software. It is of utmost importance for IT decision makers to understand their organization’s current business processes and identify the most press-ing concerns before they begin to consider potential solutions.

Making the transition into a process-managed enterprise requires proper planning and analysis to ensure essential components are in place and the right steps are taken in the right order. ICT Africa’s Business Process Studies expertise delivers this full-fledged IT strategy to organizations seeking to differentiate themselves from the competi-tion, increase their efficiency and cut back on costs.

Benefits

• Define and document your as-is business processes

• Translate those processes into a set of prioritized requirements

• A long-term focus, clear vision and management commitment

• A structured approach

• Communicate goals and progress

Business Process Study is designed to help you select the right software solution quickly and with minimal impact on your day-to-day business operations. It involves:

Our Study Process

• Reviewing the structure and dynamics of the business domain from organizational charts to existing process documents.

• Documenting your business processes based on our interviews and your internal documentation as well as conducting GAP analysis on each process.

• Mapping your business processes to a standardized ERP software feature/function model. It’s the standard industry language that vendors understand.

• Generating your unique requirements using the vendor-friendly feature/function model that a company needs and vendors can understand and respond to accurately.

Identifying Networking Needs

In an ideal world, networking would just work. Your network connection would be fast, reliable and have low latency. In reality however, networking works most of the time; and when it breaks, it often paralyzes an organiza-tion. For example:

• An overloaded or broken network link can result in packet loss. If a link loses enough packets, it may be difficult to establish connections across that link resulting in below par performance.

• When a network link becomes saturated, routers on either side of that link buffer the traffic to avoid losing data. This adds additional latency. It is not uncommon to see latency measured in whole seconds over heavily loaded DSL connections.

• Captive networks (often used in hotels, coffee shops, and other public places) may intercept your HTTP requests and provide a login page instead of the expected data.

• Firewalls between the user and the destination may block connections on all but a handful of ports.

• Firewalls that perform network address translation (NAT) may not allow remote servers to connect back to ports on the user’s computer or other devices.

• Third-party firewall software may block your outgoing connection requests for minutes at a time while waiting for the user to grant permis- sion to open the connection.

Identifying Networking Needs

Although software cannot magically fix a broken network, poorly written networking code can easily make things much worse. If for example, a server is heavily overloaded and takes 45 seconds to respond to each request and your software connects to that server with a 30-second timeout, it contributes to the server’s workload but in essence, never successfully receives any data.

In light of these possible challenges, ICT Africa provides the following services:

• Network trending and forecasting

• Network design

• Network planning

• Network build-out

Identifying Hardware Needs

The need for new hardware seems to constantly plague IT departments. Company employees constantly request new functionality without a clear understanding of the underlying hardware requirements, leases run out and servers fail, often resulting in replace-or-purchase decisions and new technologies being incompatible with older equipment.

So how do you ensure that amongst all this conflicting information, you are able to make cost effective and suitable decisions?

ICT Africa will help you understand the technology and will engineer a sound hardware blueprint that will prove to be cost effective and will ensure optimal use of your existing infrastructure.

Techniques used by ICT Africa for successful project management

ICT Africa has categorized the management of projects into three different segments for an effective and efficient process:

• Defining the scope of the project.

• Controlling the scope of the project.

ICT Africa has developed a strategy for effective analysis and design that greatly reduces the time and money spent developing requirement and technical specifications.
