Core Business Engineering Techniques
DACOM uses three
Core Techniques in e-Engineering your business:
DACOM uses
these core analytic techniques within its proprietary e-Engineering
methodology to leverage optimum value from assets throughout the enterprise.
This systematic approach for perfectly matching technology resources
with user needs, budgets, and IT strategy consistently produces significant,
transformational improvements for a wide variety of clients, business
models and strategic objectives.
CORE TECHNIQUE #1: Activity/Workflow Modeling
During this phase of the e-Engineering Methodology, our process improvement
team objectively assesses business activities in terms of set criteria
for cost, quality, value, capacity, and effectiveness. Using a sophisticated
modeling technique, we peel away activities layer by layer and take
your current processes down to the most streamlined level possible.
But merely streamlining a process is pointless if it has no bottom-line
value to your organization. That's why DACOM goes a step further to
determine whether the streamlining adds value or not. After this assessment,
process improvements are identified.

CORE TECHNIQUE #2: Activity-Based Costing (ABC)
The second technique is Activity-Based Costing. Used with activity
modeling, it becomes the principal optimizing technique for achieving
Life Cycle Process Improvements (LCPIs). On lowest-level business
activities, ABC analysis makes it possible to calculate the true cost
of each service and to analyze the financial impact changes will create.
ABC becomes the foundation for developing both business cases and
economic models.

CORE TECHNIQUE #3: Benchmarking/Best Practices
The final major technique of business engineering is benchmarking
and the use of best practices. Benchmarking is the systematic process
of defining best-in-breed industry systems, processes, procedures,
templates, and practices - and adapting them to your enterprise. DACOM
identifies these benchmarks through direct study of competing practices
or by transferring methods used by other state-of-the-art businesses.
Our extensive DACOM Best Practices library supports our project teams
with highly efficient, dial-in access to a comprehensive repository
of industry-proven process templates, performance metrics, Service
Level Agreements (SLA's), methodology guides, and benchmarking studies.
This gives your team an instant "leg-up" in comparing project
environments to best practice standards as well as shortening the
lead time for identifying best industry processes.
