Inteq's Business Systems Analysis course equips you and your team with critical thinking skills, conceptual knowledge, and best practices to swiftly uncover, analyze, and specify business and user requirements with precision, agility, and consistency.
Traditionally, text-oriented methods dominated the requirements process, but prove resource-intensive, ambiguous, and lack precision and standardization - leading to stakeholder disconnection from the analysis process.
Inteq's Business Systems Analysis course modernizes traditional approaches with intuitive visual analysis diagrams and best practice frameworks – accelerating communications and understanding ensuring rapid identification, analysis, and specification of requirements.
This approach not only mitigates the risk of costly mistakes and inefficiencies of superficial analysis and ambiguous requirements but also enhances operational effectiveness by fostering a deeper connection between analysts and stakeholders.
Participants emerge as high-impact professionals capable of translating in-depth business insights into comprehensive, precise, and unambiguous requirements - significantly improving the speed, accuracy, and depth of analysis.
Until now, text-oriented analysis (bullet lists, indented outlines, etc.) prevailed as the primary technique to identify, analyze, and specify business requirements. Text oriented analysis, however, is resource intensive. It often lacks standardization, depth, and precision.
Some organizations apply technical design methods (class diagrams, object interaction diagrams, etc.) to business analysis. Technical design methods, however, intimidate and alienate the business community. As a result, stakeholders disconnect from the analysis process.
In today’s fast moving, highly competitive, complex business environment, organizations can no longer afford the costly mistakes, operational inefficiencies and lost opportunities that result from superficial analysis and ambiguous requirements.
Inteq’s Business Systems Analysis course applies a cohesive set of intuitive business oriented visual diagrams (e.g., process maps, activity diagrams, etc.), a cohesive framework, and best practice methods to rapidly identify, critically analyze and clearly specify forward facing business and business systems requirements.

Business Systems Analysis transforms participants into high-impact business analysis professionals; professionals that connect with business users and stakeholders, uncover, rapidly assimilate, and critically analyze deep business knowledge, and transform that knowledge into thorough, precise unambiguous business and user requirements.
The result: increased speed, accuracy, and depth of analysis.
