Working with Business Processes

Business processes matter, because business processes are how value is delivered. Understanding how to work with business processes is now a core skill for business analysts, process and application architects, functional area managers, and even corporate executives. This workshop shows how to discover and scope a business process, clarify its context, model its workflow with progressive detail, assess it, and transition to the design of a new process by determining, verifying, and documenting its essential characteristics. Everything is backed up with real-world examples, and clear, repeatable guidelines.

Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence Summit 2015

More data, more users, more reports, more extensive forms of analytics, and more up-to-date data are the demands for BI systems today. The key question organizations have to ask is whether their traditional data warehouse architecture is resilient and scalable enough to support these new demands. The same question we can ask ourselves for the traditional data integration and reporting tools we deploy.

Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence Summit 2014

Analytics, big data, and agile BI are going to be keywords for a long time to come. But adopting these concepts is not a simple matter of installing a new tool. In this unique two-day BI/DW conference, four internationally acclaimed independent BI analysts will help you find your way in this technological labyrinth and explain the organizational impact.

Business Analyse Technieken

In deze training worden de belangrijkste Business Analyse technieken alsook enkele minder bekende technieken behandeld en geoefend, waardoor u een betere business analist wordt. Deze technieken bieden een pragmatische oplossing voor o.a. scoping, stakeholder management, het bepalen van de behoeften van een interne of externe klant (requirements analyse), het modelleren van bedrijfsprocessen met DFD en BPMN diagrammen, en het communiceren over bedrijfsprocessen, problemen en oplossingen via mindmaps en brown paper sessies.
Tijdens de workshop past u deze technieken zelf toe in een case study die als een rode draad door de workshop loopt, en die aldus op verschillende niveaus wordt uitgewerkt en verfijnd.
