Business Process Re-engineering

The concept of re-engineering, to take advantage of new technologies is not a new one, indeed the concept of Business Process Re-engineering has been around since the early 90's. But what does it mean? As systems are added to and enhanced, to cater for changes within the business, they become a patchwork of disparate solutions, which are enormously maintenance intensive. There comes a time when these costs become prohibitive, and a decision is made to replace the disparate solutions with single integrated solution (DealHub). However in the same way that the original system became fragmented and outdated, operational, or administrative procedures have tended reflect the need to deal with the quirks of the legacy systems. However if the IT solution is to be re-designed, then this is surely an appropriate time look at business processes to see if the same processes can be achieved more easily and in a more cost effective manner. Why invest in a new IT solution, without also looking to improve the business processes it will manage? Option Computers can provide assistance with evaluating and mapping your core business activities, identifying areas where DealHub can provide real business benefit by re-mapping your business processes.

Return on Investment

Option Computers are very aware that in the current harsh economic environment, organizations can no longer invest large sums of money into IT without a tangible Return On Investment. This means that justification for any IT spend which in the past was expressed in terms of technology, will now need to be articulated in terms of measurable gains, be that in market share, or reduced costs. The Return On Investment for every company is unique, as each solution has been designed to address different situations. Since we opened our doors for business, Option Computers' strength and guiding principle has been to deliver real business benefit, be that in pure financial terms, or in increased productivity. A excellent example of this is one of our recent customers found that after going live with DealHub IM Connect, they are now saving a staggering US$2 million annually. With DealHub delivering real business benefit, you can be certain of getting an excellent Return On Investment.
