The StepAlpha Process Definition Methodology is a discrete set of activities for consultants and teams to use to rapidly and consistently define business processes and the related operational knowledge.

	How do your teams perform?
	Are Process Definitions being completed in timely manner?
	Are the deliverables consistent from team to team, or project to project?
	Do your teams have the right tools and methodologies to accomplish the Process Definition tasks?
	Is the process definition information used for more than just wall charts and basic flow diagrams?

We begin with a methodology that has been designed for the tasks and activities that must be completed. In addition, this methodology has been engineered to directly improve team synergy and overall productivity.

The methodology was then used to drive the design and development of a software solution, ProcessVista for teams and consultants. This software application is used to rapidly and fully define processes including the related operational knowledge into an IDEF compliant data model.

Teams using ProcessVista can now define business processes more completely, more rapidly, and more consistently for two key reasons.

1) Current methods are ad hoc in nature, and therefore will always vary and result in some level of team conflict.

2) Current process definition tools tend to be "blank pieces of paper" that lack a distinct set of activities and information storage capabilities for the process operational knowledge. Utilizing the StepAlpha Process Definition Methodology, Teams and consultants will find that the information flow from the participants increases significantly. The "normal" knowledge transfer is paper based or is accomplished by "stick pads" and whiteboard debates that last for days. Either way, the results are in static documents that may be stored in a "system" but are rarely used beyond that tactical team.

ProcessVista is the only product that has been designed to address the first step in any process initiative. In addition, ProcessVista has been engineered specifically for the additional downstream analysis and optimization activities that should be accomplished utilizing the same information. Finally, ProcessVista can be used to drive process transformation into the digital Enterprise technologies as a rapid requirements definition and dynamic configuration tool. The combination of these capabilities targets our customers strategic productivity and continuous improvement initiatives

ProcessVista is a critical tool that is long overdue. Designed for the Process Definition Methodology, ProcessVista facilitates process definition which includes the operational knowledge and best practices. The process model is based on IDEF standards and generates reports about the process. Flow diagrams and other information reports are generated by the system, each of which are compliant to the IDEF and ISO standards.

This is how the deliverables are "controlled" for consistency and the process definitions are repeatable. Teams utilizing ProcessVista are enabled to meet the challenges of their specific process initiative project in a cost effective and productive manner.

With ProcessVista, I-Infusion is helping customers apply their existing enterprise technology assets in new, revolutionary ways to measure, validate and monitor operational performance from a business process perspective.
