What I offer

I conduct audits and create documentation (design) that answers these questions:

  • How does our company work?
  • How does our company serve customers and suppliers?
  • What duties do specific employees have, and what are they responsible for?
  • How do our IT systems work, who do they support at work and when?
  • How are our systems integrated, how do they exchange data with each other and with contractors’ systems?
  • How can we improve the efficiency of our company’s work?
  • How should we describe our needs so that the software supplier knows what we need and how to implement new software efficiently?
  • Will this documentation be continually updated? Yes, it will be.

Does it cost a lot? Always much less than the mess and failed implementation.

Business & Systems Consulting Services

I have 30 years of experience in business analysis, system design, ERP and CRM implementation supervising. I offer:

  • business process mapping and modelling
  • software requirements gathering
  • IT system integration designing
  • data and business logic designing
  • product and production systems analysis and documentation,
  • documenting all of the above with BPMN, UML, SysML
  • supervising any software development and implementation process

You have come to the right address. I’ve been analysing companies, designing their systems and overseeing their growth for 30 years. I have worked for small companies and large corporations.

Solution design

I am an information and systems engineer. I can oversee an ERP implementation.

As a solutions designer, I fill this gap in projects.

Are you planning to implement new software and afraid of trouble? I will help prepare your company and help supervise the supplier.

Suppose you are struggling with preparing for a digital transformation, implementing an ERP, developing requirements for software dedicated to you, or maybe you need professional technical documentation (see unsuccessful ERP implementations).

Your requirements and my skills mean better software from a software provider for you.

I’m a person who can help you succeed in your business software implementation.

Business Process Analysis and Design

Do you want to improve your company by analysing and improving your business processes to make them more efficient?

In that case, I am the person you are looking for. I have 30 years of experience in practical projects and am constantly gaining knowledge as a university lecturer.

You can hire me for:

  1. Process & Software Documentation
  2. Business Process Optimisation.
  3. Software requirements for ERP are off the shelf and have dedicated add-ons.
  4. Software architecture design and application integration.
  5. Teaching and support (mentoring) your team of software engineers, analysts and designers: training, lectures and mentoring (business analysis and software design, BMM, BPMN, UML, SBVR notations, design patterns and best practices)

I work remotely and on-site. Need to talk about it? You can meet me at my office: 214 Union Str. Aberdeen, more on the Contact page).

Digitalisation

People say: we have failures in IT projects because we are: “Customers that don’t know what they want. Requirements that can’t be found. Tests that can’t be defined. Programmers who don’t have methodological discipline. Project managers who are certified but can’t manage.” This is to say: that they all need a designer before coding.

I’m a designer, and I can:

  1. Analyze your organization: business processes and procedures to understand how your business works.
  2. Try to find all the places where you can improve your operations and their efficiency.
  3. Design more efficient “to-be” processes and procedures.
  4. Put it all together and prepare requirements and architecture for ERP software.
  5. Prepare a migration and iterative implementation plan.
  6. Choose the right software provider and start your smooth new system implementation.

Workshops

  1. Business analysis and business process modelling with BPMN notation.
  2. Systems analysis and modelling with UML and SysML notation.
  3. Analysis and transition from user story to system requirements model (SysML) and system use case model (UML).
  4. Software architecture with UML includes HLD and LLD design, use case scenarios and sequences, API integration, and software architecture patterns such as Domain-Driven Design, BCE, and more.
  5. Ask about others.
