Business Process Analysis and Re-engineering

AQUAS facilitates and adds value to the assessment and identification of process reengineering opportunities and the related functional area requirements. We'll give you an assessment report that you can understand and use - one that will detail the various options for reengineering the targeted process and their related costs. Further, we have the technical capabilities and strategic partnerships in place to implement your reengineering solution. See the examples of our reengineering projects below.

Department of Defense Medical Services

In support of the U.S. Navy, Army and Air Force medical corps, AQUAS assisted a business process reengineering effort designed to provide rapid network access to a patient's medical record from any military medical unit within a hospital or in the field. AQUAS helped develop the functional and technical specifications, conducted the technology review and assessment to identify appropriate hardware and software, developed an acquisition plan, and supported the military BPR team with facilitation services, meeting support, report preparation and document change management. AQUAS also supported the project officer in maintaining and updating budgetary data, preparing briefings and presentations, and providing functional representation in conferences and working groups.

USDA Poultry Program Grading Services

AQUAS conducted facilitated working sessions with key Grading Service representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to identify opportunities for streamlining processes, and for reuse of information to enhance program area objectives. The effort included the development of As-Is and To-Be business models, process flows and entity relationship diagrams.

U.S. Small Business Administration

AQUAS assisted the U.S. Small Business Administration in a major reengineering project designed to dramatically improve information access and exchange within the SBA as well as between SBA and it's business partners, utilizing client/server and Internet/intranet/extranet technologies.

As part of this effort, AQUAS designed, developed, deployed, documented and tested the Partner Identification and Management System (PIMS), a three-tier, Sybase and web-enabled information system for managing financial institution data. AQUAS was involved in the full system development life cycle. Tasks included conducting Joint Application Development (JAD) sessions and one-on-one interviews to collect functional requirements, designing the system using ER-win and BP-win CASE tools and developing a prototype of the system. AQUAS also conducted peer reviews, established test and verification procedures, and conducted unit, system and integration testing to verify that the system met all the functional requirements.

Further, using state-of-the-art replication technology, AQUAS designed, developed, implemented, and tested the stored procedures and system interfaces required to replicate Oracle data from Thomson Financial Services to the SBA's client/server Sybase environment, a system designed to dramatically improve the accuracy and timeliness of the SBA's database.
