Developing, managing and harnessing knowledge is at the heart of the growth and performance challenges that companies face every day.
The increasing digitalisation of everything around us has greatly exacerbated the sources of uncertainty, such as the speed and complexity of the flows of information, which are becoming ever more prevalent in working environments. Organisations must embrace new practices if they are to tackle these complexities and deliver services and products that meet their customers’ expectations as closely as possible.
The many, varied constraints are encouraging companies to review their models and optimise all their value-creating processes to meet their own and their customers’ needs.
To provide concrete solutions, ALTEN has built its dedicated Business Analyst offer. It has been designed to help you control your working environments and master constraints of all kinds by providing you with all the specialised skills you need.
Keeping up with constantly changing ecosystems
Business Analysts’ roles are changing in line with the technological changes taking place in information systems and work environments. One of these changes is the rise in SecDevOps, which helps to speed up and secure software development and delivery by using Agile methods and automation tools to help businesses improve their operating efficiency and get a leg up on the competition. Design thinking is also helping to optimise how value is created by focusing on identifying the end user’s true expectations. It is also helping to create products and services that are economically viable, feasible and sustainable.
Business Analysts’ expertise is an increasingly essential resource for companies, who have a greater need for specialisation and high-added-value technical expertise. ALTEN supports you with a proven method that covers all the stages of project, programme and product management. Our teams can help you identify needs, set objectives and establish, implement and steer initiatives, products and solutions so you can achieve your production and performance objectives.

Execution and rollout
Objective: Optimise rollouts to maximise performance
At ALTEN, our Business Analyst approach is underpinned by our in-depth expertise in project management and strategic steering. We know that projects are successful when rigorous planning meets smooth execution. Our Business Analysts make sure these conditions are met, flexibly navigating each step of the process, from the initial definition to continuous improvement.
- Architectural expertise: Our system architects bring a strategic vision to each project. They help steer reviews and keep the project on track while establishing a solid functional architecture. By managing the risks and working closely with the business units, our architects play an essential role in building applications. This holistic approach offers an optimal cohesion between business objectives and technology.
- The execution phase: How a project is executed is a reflection of its design. That’s why we are committed to steering each project with a meticulous attention to detail. Our team excels at managing budgets and supervising construction processes, ensuring that each stage is carefully monitored and coordinated to keep progress in line with objectives and identify overruns as early as possible.
- Deployment phase: Deploying a product or service is a critical phase that requires comprehensive support. We carry out rigorous tests to ensure the product is high quality and high performance. We then carefully monitor the product throughout its lifespan to learn lessons and continually improve it, every step of the way. We implement tracking metrics and action plans to correct discrepancies and keep the product on the path to success.
