BTE’s proprietary software tool, the Enterprise Alignment Explorer, is used in Step 1 of our approach and inventories detailed information about an organization’s business and technology and stores it in a single place.
Documenting the business spectrum
The scope of information included in our software is extremely broad, covering business functions, systems, processes, business drivers, vendors and more. It may be hard to visualize, but the result is a blueprint of how a business is wired together—holistically and at a detailed level—and the correlation of all its parts.
It’s an incredibly powerful decision-making tool, because it removes any guesswork about the resources a credit union or bank has in order to tackle a business problem, evaluate a new system or take on any number of business or technology initiatives.
Once BTE populates the Enterprise Alignment Explorer, we turn it over to you—with complete training about how to utilize it and maintain it, of course. Long after we leave, you can reap the benefits of our systematic approach to easily maintain a corporate “memory.” Credit unions and banks find the software to be incredibly useful in some additional scenarios:
- Eliminating cost by reducing operational redundancies
- Documenting compliance for state and federal regulations such as the Bank Secrecy Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Housing Act
- The creation of a disaster recovery plan to ensure “business as usual” as quickly as possible after a natural or man-made disaster
- Initiating new leadership and operational staff to the resources and scope of the organization to achieve quicker new hire productivity
- Establishing business-focused metrics for the IT department
