  Testimonials:
"Our systems integration efforts on Enterprise Business Modernization (EBM) were greatly enhanced by using the Natural Process. It is a robust software engineering process that streamlines the activities associated with responding to performance-based requirements, software planning, IT architecture and management. It added both manageability and efficiency to this complex integration effort that will retire more than 20 government-wide systems resulting in a single enterprise-wide e-procurement system."

ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS > IT Architecture & Design
 
Our advanced architecture and design processes allow your organization to build and sustain larger and more complex systems that improve support to your business users while retaining a lower cost of ownership. Get through the requirements and design process more quickly with higher quality results.

Key Differentiators
  • Less Bureaucratic, More Efficient – Integrates with Design Process (no large meaningless spreadsheets of meaningless requirements)
  • Integrated with the Design Process – Quicker to Solution Construction Kick-off
Systems Planning and Design
Design and planning are the keys to success for any large and complex effort. This principle applies to information technology, yet most organizations focus more on selecting technology as the first step in design. This means that the business must change to suit the technology, rather than selecting the technology that is best suited to meet the needs of the business. For this reason, architecture and design should occur first, prior to the selection of technology.

Selecting a technology before you start design is like choosing the building materials prior to determining the type of building to be constructed.”

Requirements Analysis
Our design processes integrate directly with our requirements processes, allowing a more active role for the customer in the design process. The result is a system that more accurately reflects the business’ rules and processes.

Stakeholder workshops (from the executive level, user community, and support & administration) are held in order to get a complete understanding of the requirements needed. Business process analysis is conducted in order to obtain a true understanding of the business functions that need to be supported. Once the business processes are understood, use cases can be developed as a basis for detailed design and test planning.

Most requirements require the context of design. ‘There shall be an elevator’, is not applicable to a one story design.”

Quality Assurance
The quality of requirements and design will translate directly into the level of quality produced by the construction team. Our quality assurance processes are seamlessly integrated with our architecture and design processes, providing a greater degree of confidence in your designs and ultimately your IT systems.
