Simplified Delivery Risk, Quality and Cost in context

Download case study

Preamble:  Various techniques were deployed in assisting companies, projects and individuals in profiling activities and behaviour In particular in highlighting anomalous practices and irregularities There was no need to be dependent on a host of support staff or a plethora of systems requiring ongoing refinements Products and processes deployed were user-end adaptive. Such activity involved: Profiling the demographic challenge, the demographic threats to various industries such as Real Estate, Liquor etc Profiling the breakdown of processes of large entities across HR, Finance, Engineering and Project Management Testimonials are available

The Challenge:  A plethora of products (Access, Excel sheets, Macros, VB objects) are used to compliment the organisation's set of core systems - be they SAP, Peoplesoft, etc. These increase the potential risk and exposure to the continuity of business should any of these products fail or require support. More often than not, they are not even listed in the BCP or DRP. Whilst these have been built to bridge functional or data deficiencies, they have also introduced inefficiencies and data integrity risks. To mitigate this risk, an approach has been formulated which allows the replacement of these with a more simplified, integrated and automated range of processes.

The Answer - Technique:  A rapid paced technique known as Algomatics™ was deployed. This technique draws upon the principles used by profilers and forensic analysts to ascertain requirements. It then uses algorithms and mathematical techniques to design and build the new process. At all times, data (used by the current process to be replaced) is the working capital for building the solution.
