Navigar follows a three phased approach to optimizing organization performance to meet the
requirements of clients at all phases of the Business Process Management lifecycle.
While some organizations may be just considering a Process Improvement initiative, other
organizaitons may be ready to implement a project while yet others are ready to improve
existing processes for continued improvement.
At Navigar we determine if a BPM project is right for your organization and then follow a strategic
approach to deciding which process provides the best return on investment. We follow a series of
modeling and simulation exercises to determine the valuation of each potential project.
Implement
Requirements
During this phase, we gather the necessary requirements through a variety of methods including
focus groups, use case diagrams, 'as is' and 'to be' models, and BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation).
Results are incorporated into comprehensive requirements documents that ensure all parties have the same
expectations of the process and the project.
Design
The Design Phase consists of screen designs and layouts, screen navigation, menus error handling and error
and informational message definition. Edit criteria and security rules are defined. Interfaces are planned
and designed. Standards are incorporated such as BPMN and the Business Motivation Model (BMM).
Develop
During the development phase the physical data models are implemented into physical structures.
Executables are developed from the design using a variety of languages and technologies including Business
Process Execution Language (BPEL) and XML Process Definition Language (XPDL).
Test
Proper and comprehensive test plans are critical to the success of any project. During this phase tests are
planned, documented, and executed. Test Plans are the basis for performing integration, system, and acceptance
testing activities.
Deploy
During the Deployment Phase, the modifications and or small enhancements to the system will be deployed to
the production environment, users are trained, data is converted (as needed), and the system is turned over
to the user. This phase includes efforts required to implement the system as well as to resolve any problems
identified during the implementation process.
Improve
Navigar recognizes that clients are at different phases of the Business Process Management (BPM) lifecycle.
While some organizations may be embarking on a single Business Process Improvement (BPI) project, other
clients have created Business Process Improvement programs while yet others have brought it to an environment
of Continual Process Improvement (CPI).
Client needs are different depending on where they are at on the BPM lifecycle.
To accommodate the needs of all clients, Navigar provides Marketing Outreach and Education, a Business
Process Competency Center (BPCC), and Staff Augmentation to meet the needs of organizations improving
their business processes.
