Business Process Re-Engineering
Business Process Re-engineering involves the radical redesign of core business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity, cycle times and/or quality. Customers spent a lot of revenue in the acquisition and license of software but do not utilize the application to its full capacity and capabilities. This happens due to a lack of knowledge of all the business processes which can be configured using standard software functionality. Customization and modification to the software to achieve certain functionality also increase the cost of support and maintenance. Surtel has helped many customers in different industry verticals to gain business efficiency by analysing, designing implementing and documenting best practices.
