Best Business Requirements Practices™

"This approach allows us to gain much more accurate information
from clients in far less time than ever before."
- Sr. Business Systems Analyst & recent seminar participant

The pace of technology and business are resulting in the need for different ways of doing traditional system development tasks. New methods are being discovered every day to respond to these new environments.

That's why we have developed an approach which enables a practical implementation of the best systems analysis and design modeling practices in the industry. - Event Process modeling from Yourdon, DeMarco, McMenamin & Palmer; Object Oriented Analysis from Rumbaugh, Booch, Jacobson; information modeling from Chen & Codd; Information Engineering from Martin; Data Warehousing from Inman & Kimball; Business Rules from Ross; and JAD from Crawford - just to name only a few.

As a result of taking the best methods and practices available in the industry today, Best Business Requirements Practices™ is the most effective and pragmatic approach for business & systems analysis. When integrated into an organization's existing best practices, the resulting methods can be the ultimate foundation for successful system development projects. This is definitely not theory or classroom methods "that just won't work in the real world". We practice what we preach and have scores of successful testimonials that can show proof to claims of vast improvements over current practices.

What has made The Information Architecture Group so successful is the company's easy-to-apply, practical approach that makes best practices work!

"Our MIS Reengineering initiative identified "business requirements" as
a critical weakness which was causing the delivery of systems
with inadequate functionality to unhappy customers. When we began to use
these best practices we started down a road that has resulted in
unprecedented successes. It is now a corporate standard."
- Manager, Best Practices with major multinational

"When we put this process into practice, our senior business managers
admitted that they had never reached such a clear consensus and understanding
of their requirements - in such a short time frame"
