Implementation of Business Processes in IT Systems

Clear requirements & service orientation for optimal support of your business processes!
The analysis and definition of IT system requirements is the crucial step for their design and subsequent development. Insufficient requirement analysis can cause increased follow-up costs in the system development or they become the principal reason for failed acceptance tests. This can lead to the failure of the whole project. BOC have supported many different software-developing projects in this area and have extensive knowledge in relation to action models and methodologies for requirements management and requirements design.

IT services are another main focus for the utilisation and further development of applications in your company on a long term basis. Hence, it is essential to homogenise IT landscapes with the purpose of reducing the number of interfaces (technologies) between applications. We support you in developing a function driven service oriented architecture (SOA) which leads to the simplification of the structures of your IT landscape, cost savings, and more flexibility.

Application Analysis & IT System Design
The process based application development services and products offer technical and organisational solutions to clarify the complexity of application development projects. The result is a seamless transformation of the functional requirements to application systems – the closure of the gap between business and IT. This service is complemented by designing methods for technical test cases, the design of on-line help systems, with structures for the identification of user roles and user competences as well as process models and technologies for the transformation of processes into feasible systems (workflow, business rules, service orchestration etc.).


Construction of a Service Orientated Architecture
A function oriented SOA guarantees that changes to products, business processes, and organisational structures of the company can be quickly implemented in the respective applications. We develop and rearrange the existing IT architectures into service oriented architectures with a view to simplifying the structure of your IT landscape. This can lead to a substantial reduction in costs
and the company will be substantially more flexible in relation to any change in general conditions like a change in the marketplace or in law.


Introduction of Standard Software
The introduction of standard software, SAP for example, is a huge organisational and technical challenge for any company. We support you on the basis of using technical processes to analyse the potential of standard software, to discover and specify the required adaptations, and to determine the complexity at an early stage. We ensure that the functional view is never lost or out of focus. We support you with sound planning of the implementation and realisation projects as well as the early recognition of project risks. The departmental processes provide the guideline for the implementation of standard software. They are the base for technical test cases and can be used – supplemented with additional information – for the planning and realisation of the software introduction and training.


Developing Business Architectures through Enterprise Architecture Management
On the basis of SOA our knowledge of the industry adds value to the sustainable implementation of business architectures in your company. This includes the changes of the procedures like the design of algorithms, the assignment of the IT, and the design of IT master plans. We utilise sophisticated and approved methods to identify and define services, taking into account the specifications of your IT landscape and your industry. We are convinced that it is only possible to realise a SOA based on defined business processes. In particular we help to identify services based on these processes and to define and develop functional service repositories.


Model Driven Architecture
Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a software design approach launched in 2001 by the Object Management Group (OMG). As the OMG provide rough specifications the procedure is therefore adaptive to different technologies and development tools. Standard concepts and terms have arisen from the OMG standardisation. Other advantages gained by the model driven architecture approach include the ability to automatically derive active software from formal models, resulting in qualitatively high-class applications.
