ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Jan. 9, 2007 – Avineon, Inc., a successful provider of IT, geospatial, engineering and program management services, announced today the formation of a formal Business Process Management (BPM) practice group to focus on the planning, implementation and support of BPM methodology and technology. This practice will help streamline, re-engineer and automate workflows and business processes to assist clients in transitioning and maturing as process-driven organizations. Avineon’s service offerings within BPM include management consulting and the design, development, modeling, automation, measurement and optimization of processes, coupled with software development and integration with other information systems. BPM solutions will provide Avineon’s customers with secure, reliable, scalable and highly collaborative applications to manage business processes within and across organizational boundaries effectively. To lead its BPM practice, Avineon has promoted Anil Jayavarapu to director, business process management practice.
Avineon’s previous BPM experience includes work with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) where the company’s Defense Systems division uses state-of-the-art BPM tools and techniques to assist the NAVSEA, Strike Force Interoperability program in maximizing the efficiency and transparency of its Naval Warfare Systems Certification Process. Avineon helped the defense organization implement lean and six sigma transition in recognizing efficiency from major policy and functional change. Avineon documented and mapped existing Lean Rapid Improvement Event process, conducted performance improvement analysis, designed and documented a re-architected process and is currently implementing this process in a technological framework most appropriate to the Naval Force Interoperability management’s requirements utilizing a commercial off-the-shelf tool. Since the development effort began in June 2006, Avineon has completed the business case modeling and successfully demonstrated a prototype BPM implementation model.
