Kalleid Business Analysis

At Kalleid, we apply a comprehensive, personalized, user-centric methodology to your IT project. Our integrated approach delivers maximum business value by keeping the ‘big-picture’ organizational transformation in our sights.

Importance of Business Analysis (BA)

The digital revolution has spawned an abundance of information technology (IT) promising to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate all sorts of data and information. Many IT projects fail to meet their full potential for delivering business value because of the misplaced emphasis on the technology itself, without addressing the organizational context and supporting business processes that are necessary to achieve the desired transformation. The first step in any highly successful IT project is a thorough workflow and business analysis.

Benefits of Kalleid BA Methodology

In addition to maximizing business value delivered, the benefits of applying the Kalleid BA methodology to your IT project include:

Time and money saved by preventing costly project rework
User adoption and management buy-in facilitated
Project team aligned in a common vision
Change champions and early adopters engaged to support transformation efforts
BA deliverables utilized to design and implement the solution
Essential foundation provided for effective system development, project management, change management, and system testing and validation.

Kalleid business analysts (BAs) work to harmonize the people and technology aspects of IT projects. Our professionals serve as a communication bridge between IT and business stakeholders, while also helping to align the goals/needs of the management team and users within the context of available IT resources.
