Business & Systems Analysis

Most projects that go wrong went wrong at the start, when nobody wrote down clearly enough what the system had to do. Analysis is the stage we spend most care on, because everything that follows is built on it.

Our analysts are members of, and certified by, the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA).

Business analysis

We work with the people who do the job and the people responsible for it to understand the process as it actually runs: the normal path, the exceptions, the reports that are needed and the rules that must be enforced. Workshops, walkthroughs of existing systems and reviews of the paperwork all feed into it. AI tools turn notes and existing documents into first drafts quickly, so our analysts spend their time on the questions rather than the typing. The result is a set of requirements everyone recognises as their own.

Systems analysis

From the requirements we produce a functional specification: screens, data, workflow, integrations, reports and non-functional requirements such as security, performance and accessibility. It is written to be read by your staff and built from by developers, and it becomes the reference point for testing and acceptance.

What you get

• A documented picture of the current process and what needs to change.
• A functional specification that can be put out to tender or built from directly.
• A clear basis for estimating cost and time, and for testing the result.
