2. Objective of this assignment
The organization operates multiple systems across various departments (referred to as units), with provisions for future enhancements and field additions. To support digital transformation, system integration, automation, and scalability initiatives, there is a need to systematically document the existing (“As-Is”) business processes across key organizational functions.
CDRI seeks to hire a Business Analyst with strong knowledge of IT systems to analyse existing business processes, identify gaps and inefficiencies, and translate business needs into clear, structured system requirements. The Business Analyst will be responsible for defining functional, non-functional, data, and integration requirements to support system enhancements, development of new modules, and technology procurement initiatives. The role will also contribute to enabling data-driven decision-making and improving overall operational efficiency across the organization. The consultant will:
- Document and map current (“As?Is”) business processes in structured visual and narrative formats.
- Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, compliance risks, and improvement opportunities.
- Define optimized (“To?Be”) business processes.
- Translate business processes into prioritized system requirements supporting the IT roadmap.
3. Scope of Work
The consultant is expected to work on-site and will work closely with the designated team from CDRI. In executing this assignment, the consultant will undertake the following indicative (but not limited to) tasks:
- Business Process Discovery and Documentation, including stakeholder interviews, workshops, and document reviews.
- Develop As?Is process documentation and visual workflow diagrams using BPMN and other modelling techniques.
- Business process evaluation and gap analysis to identify operational inefficiencies and improvement opportunities.
