Ochiba offer 3 levels of business
consultancy each of which can be undertaken independently, but are incremental.
These are:
1. Business Review - High level requirements study
What it will do
A snapshot of the business at a high level
Identifies key risks & issues to the business
Identifies improvement opportunities
It is the start point of any implementation project, feeding key areas of
the Project Initiation Document
What it will not do
It will not define every piece of work required for an
implementation project
It does not capture all of the processes because of
the limited amount of time allowed
Not a review of legacy systems
2. Core Process Study
A review of business processes and business-critical
functionality. This process identifies the key processes that
support the business and contrasts these to best practise. The
study will identify all off line activities and core activities
that add little or no value.
Whilst every process will not be captured in this review a core
process map will be produced. Where this is part of an
implementation, say of SAP Business One, this will form a key part
of the requirement and will allow software to be mapped to the
processes and functions defined.
3. Full business and IT strategy study
A full study that aims to align the strategy of the business,
the business processes, people, and the IT system.
