Our Business and
Technology Advisory Services
ElevatIQ business and technology advisory services include business process re-engineering, business process improvement, business process documentation, change, and project management, post-merger integration, and audit support.
Business Process Re-engineering
Our business process re-engineering services are especially helpful for companies that might be outgrowing non-standard, heavily customized, or legacy ERP systems. Our process of re-engineering services starts with an assessment, with a thorough analysis of current data and systems, followed by a site visit and interviews with stakeholders. Once the changes are identified and agreed upon, as-is and to-be models are built, along with the training and governance materials that teams can use.
Change and Project Management
This service helps in managing any transformation initiative, whether you are making process or system changes. The change process has three major steps preparing for change, managing change, and reinforcing change. Each of these steps has a deliverable, such as a business case, implementation roadmap, training plan, engagement model, and change governance plan.
Business Process Improvement
This service helps in hitting a specific KPI such as the amount of waste, inventory turns, or demand forecast accuracy. Through the root cause analysis of current data and processes, an as-is and to-be plan is built. Using an MVP approach, an initial pilot is created to understand the impact of the change, followed by continuous monitoring and improvement.
Post Merger Integration (PMI)
This service helps companies when they might need help with pre-diagnosis of the technical risks, strategy for consolidation, or consolidating the system footprint post-merger. This helps companies reduce the system footprint and streamline processes, as well as remove data siloes and improve operational efficiency as they get ready for the next phase of their growth.
Business Process Documentation
This process helps reverse engineering the processes deeply buried in business systems. This exercise is helpful for companies that are building operational capacity plans for the next phase of their growth. The process is then followed by the to-be process models, comparing the changes and investment that would be required to grow to the next inflection point.

Our Methodology
for Business and Technology Advisory
Our methodology starts with the assessment of your current business processes. This step is typically followed by a deep discovery and analysis phase to probe into business process issues and come up with recommendations for business process re-engineering, followed by an implementation and optimization plan.
1 Assessment
Through primary and secondary research, this assessment digs into each of your datasets, transactions, and processes to identify the core reasons for current challenges, a strategy to solve current issues, and a phased approach to execute recommendations.
3 Implementation
This step is the implementation phase, and, depending upon the complexity of the change, whether the change is system-related or process, an appropriate strategy could be employed to implement the changes.
2Business Process Analysis and Documentation
This phase goes through a series of workshops to document the business processes and recommend reengineering steps that could be financially and technically risky during the implementation. As well as the process reengineering will help streamline operations, resulting in operational efficiencies.
4 Adoption and Optimization
Post implementation, this step measures the desired KPIs and process compliance and adoption post-implementation phase. In the case of any deviations, the appropriate steps are taken until the processes are able to hit the KPIs desired.
