The Irus Methodology is a proven process that turns the vast amount of organizational data into information and information into knowledge to help companies and government agencies make better business decisions. It is a strategic approach that has been developed over the past decade to improve business performance via a proven process of continuous analysis and optimization throughout the process at all stages.
The methodology is very well integrated with fundamental Corporate Performance Management processes. Our client's challenges are really about the business, versus purely about the technology. We do not lead with the technology but apply the right solution where applicable. It is a very systematic and deliberate approach across management and business processes. Our methodology promotes consistency and an improved decision-making process throughout an organization. It's a combination of process, professionalism, and people in order to turn data in information and information into knowledge to make better business decisions.
The six steps in the Irus Methodology are:
- Business Requirements Analysis and Definition
- Project Planning
- Data Architecting and Modeling
- Implementation and User Training
- Monitor, Document, and Transition
- Analyze and Enhance (throughout)
Many business intelligence endeavors fail because the data is not valid for what needs to be assessed. Irus consultants are particularly clear on ensuring that our clients can make of their vast amounts of data. Our data processes emphasize the Data Architecting and Modeling stage with advanced breakouts:
- Data Acquisition
- Data Warehouse/Mart/Store Design, Development, Testing
- Data Warehouse/Mart/Store Development
The analysis phase starts once the project has been secured. The goal is to assess the entire set of client requirements to the last detail and chart a course for implementation excellence while continuously looking for ways to improve the process. Many processes begin analyzing once the solution is deployed. We analyze wherever we are in the process to ensure that what we are designing and implementing helps answer the business questions we have been hired to help answer.
