It's important that your BPM project is deployed on time and that it provides sustaining value into the future. Ultimus has a proven BPM Delivery Approach that aligns our software & services to your company goals. The Ultimus BPM Delivery Approach is iterative, scalable, and comprehensive, meaning that it covers the full life-cycle for successfully implementing a BPM solution.
In our Approach we combine important concepts of the leading methodologies available today. This blending leverages the Microsoft Solution Framework for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) structure, the IBM® Rational Unified Process® (RUP®) for iterative development and visual prototyping, Six Sigma for applying industrial engineering techniques to IT development, and System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for the development structure and discipline.
The Ultimus methodology includes the following steps:
- BPM Visioning – understanding the goals for the initiative
- Process Discovery – identifying and laying out the process
- Solution Architecture – designing an automated solution utilizing all available tools
- Visual Prototype – providing a “first glimpse” of the proposed solution
- Process Implementation – selecting the business rules and connecting the people and systems
- Solution Evaluation – matching performance versus expectations
- Enhanced Solution Rollout - identifying and implementing improvements
The approach is time boxed to assure efficiency in implementation, allowing for structured planning to follow the fastest route to a production process and a demonstration of value to your business.
