Business Process Improvement

We know first-hand how challenging it is to request accountability from your teams while also being answerable to your executives, ensuring communication and data is conveyed consistently by and to all stakeholders. You are ultimately responsible for ensuring that your work flow processes are executed judiciously and cost effectively.

Improving your business processes is the key to managing your diverse responsibilities. Your Arbutus Solutions team of consultants offers intelligent BPI solutions quantified by the right tools and reports in your Project Server environment. We help you forge consistency and efficiency through all your projects.

Why does your organization need a BPI solution?

Reporting of data to the various levels within an organization often entails manipulating the same information to be presented in different ways to different stakeholders. Without a BPI solution in place, an excess of resources- human, budgetary, and temporal- is spent interpreting similar information. Employees entrusted to these tasks are often aware of the redundancies, and are resistant to using new systems if they seem unfamiliar or confusing. For a workforce increasingly having to do more with less, this can be perceived as creating more work for them.

What are the advantages to implementing BPI solutions for your organization?

Implementing business process improvement tactics that adapt the familiar tools from Microsoft allows your organization to:

  • Capture and report data consistently
  • Standardize key project requirements company-wide
  • Improve efficiency and reduce redundancies
  • Save money
  • Simplify work flow and expedite results
  • Engage your employees to use a more organized platform designed to make their work easier
How can Arbutus Solutions help your organization integrate the right tools for your BPI solution?

We will work with you to identify roadblocks or areas where efficiencies can be gained in current processes and provide recommendations.  The duration and scope of these engagements vary greatly, depending on the complexity of the process(es) involved.

  • Project Server
  • Portfolio Server
  • SharePoint Server
  • Windows SharePoint Services
  • SQL Server

The particular version of the software to be used largely depends on your current technical environment, as well as your plans and goals for future technical upgrades.
