We deliver these services through our unique methodology - Review, Evaluate, Act and Prove Results (REAP), which consistently provides clients with measurable results.
All organizations have significant untapped potential for continuous process improvement.
The only questions are:
Many companies cannot answer these questions. Can you?
In today’s dynamic environment, business and customer needs change rapidly while internal value delivery approaches evolve more slowly, and often in an uncoordinated fashion. The resulting gaps are often filled through spot decisions, ad-hoc processes, and bolt-on solutions – which may satisfy the immediate need, but over time translates into layer upon layer of inefficiencies. This represents significant untapped potential which can only be captured through a disciplined, holistic approach that realigns operational capabilities with today’s business requirements.
We help clients achieve operational Business Process excellence by building organizational capabilities that align with internal, customer, and market driven needs. Our pragmatic solutions produce high impact results while minimizing organizational disruption. In short, we help clients unlock their hidden potential.
We utilize a 4-step continuous improvement process:
Before any business process improvement actions are taken, possible solutions are evaluated based on Return-on-Investment. Those possible solutions with the greatest potential for return with the lowest possible investment are given priority attention.
Process Improvement involves:
Our Change Management practice is an ideal companion service to our Process Improvement
program. Process improvement can be focused on the functions of operations, technology,
financial, sales/marketing, client services, etc. However, all of these processes
involve Human Capitol. So managing your talent is a crucial aspect to successful
process improvement.
As the saying goes” The only constant in this world is Change”. In the new economy, companies need to be agile and flexible to be able to compete. That means companies must know how to constantly change for the sake of growth. Change management is also quite benefit in times of “crisis” or when a prompt “turn-around” in operations is eminent.
Many times companies know they need to change but don’t know how to do it. Our Change Management programs are not meant to be change just for the sake of change. We utilize Change Management as an integral part of helping our clients realize more innovation, efficiency, and productivity from their Human Capitol. This positive culture, in turn, achieves our foremost objective…accelerated and sustainable business growth for our clients.
SPRYtek utilizes a comprehensive, structured and practical “Project Management” approach to Organizational Change that quickly gains buy-in from the top down. This approach enables our clients to see tangible value sooner, than later.
The SPRYTek Change Methodology:
Required: Leadership, Understanding and Communication
Project initiatives fail due to poor planning, an incomplete understanding of business objectives, and inadequate definition of goals and a lack of communication. SPRYTek offers experienced project management staffs who can take you project and guide it through a successful completion seamlessly.
The reasons for Project Management are to: 1) lessen the time to market, 2) increase staff productivity, 3) increase quality, 4) increase customer satisfaction and 5) increase ROI for software investments. SPRYTek works to make all of these reasons have a positive outcome for your business.
Successful projects incorporate the following phases:
Planning and Requirements Definition
There are two key aspects of this phase: (1) planning which includes the need to develop or significantly enhance a system is identified, feasibility and costs are assessed, and risk and project-planning approaches are define and (2) defining the functional requirements that the system will need to address.
Design
During this phase, functional requirements are translated into preliminary and detailed designs. Decisions are made to address how the system will meet functional, physical, interface, and data requirements.
Development and Testing
The system is validated through a sequence of unit, integration, system, and acceptance test activities. The objective is to ensure that the system functions as expected and user requirements are satisfied.
Implementation
During this phase, the new or enhanced system is installed in the production environment, users are trained, data is converted (as needed), and the system is turned over to the user.
Operations, Tuning and Maintenance
The emphasis of this phase is to ensure that user needs continue to be met and that the system continues to perform according to specifications. Routine hardware and software maintenance and upgrades are performed to ensure effective system operations.

What is ERP?
An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system combines methodologies with software and hardware components to integrate numerous critical back-office functions across a company. Made up of a series of “modules,” or applications that are seamlessly linked together through a common database, an ERP system enables various departments or operating units such as Accounting and Finance, Human Resources, Production, and Fulfillment and Distribution to coordinate activities, share information, and collaborate.
Key Benefits of ERP Systems:ERP systems are designed to enhance all aspects of key operations across a company’s entire back-office – from planning through execution, management, and control. They accomplish this by taking processes and functions that were previously disparate and disjointed, and seamlessly integrating and coordinating them.
