Recent research development and applied enhancements in business management logistics reached a position where it is required to take organizational measures to quantify business processes operations from the ever increasing pool of untapped transient performance attributes.
This research stream seeks to provide ways enterprises can model their strategic and tactical measurable objectives and structure them in meaningful overall organization wise hierarchy. This hierarchy reflected node by node to well designed network of business process operations characterised by domains and roles based areas. The reflection is controlled by continuous quantifiable alignment to adjust the processes networked design and the tactical objectives of the organization.
Strategic goals and tactical objectives are common practice for organizations and firms of any size. They set the pace of priorities for peoples combined effort. However, they need to be set by planners and not practitioners. Simplified or not, they will form a simple hierarchy of main general strategic goals of interest, parenting steps of measurable and attainable tactical milestones to reach those goals. As simple as it may be, there is an obvious gab between setting quantifiable objectives and general strategic ones. This gap can only be filled by adding pre and post quantifiable objectives defining current organization status and targeted goal, as two manageable business characteristics, to each strategic stream.

Logistics - Business Process Operations Network
Business Processes are an essential part in any successful organization. It is the way organization standardize and automate their logistics operations and business activities based mostly on common practices and previous experiences. Most Companies leave such structure unchanged regardless of changing internal realities and/or external ones. Reasons for this can be:
- Lack of modifiable BP structure due to poor design.
- Non-existence actionable feedback from productivity figure (lack of BI solution).
- Shortage of cash flow and lack of investment vision.
Fundamentals of Enterprise-xRM Engineering
Enterprise-xRM Engineering is an excellent foundation for building customized Dynamics CRM/xRM applications. It combines several business concepts of Strategic Business Planning, Performance Management and CRM Business Process Operations.
Most companies are willing to digitize their operations and decision making processes, if not fully automate them. They are right in this as this will give them a competitive edge in their offering of goods and services to their partners and clients. They know that that will require first of all standardization of so many strategic and logistical operations that comprise business activities nowadays. There is a need to lay the foundations to establish the fundamentals of those operations.
Strategic Planning forms the base for the concept of Management by Objectives MBO, and how it relates to Goals setting within a CRM environment. Businesses may prefer to manage feed-forward routes to goods and services production by making their operations managers set the logistics for business processes already established within their CRM and other legacy systems. By that we mean that there is no strong feedback influence being injected into the system to generate revenue from selling goods and services. Such system is relatively static and incompetent. Actionable production feedback is essential to accurately modify and/or establish new logistics within the business process operations, if not modifying the actual goals settings to respond to various internal realities and external market forces.
The current Enterprise-xRM Engineering offering can establish this by utilizing CRM BI Analytics to transform production numbers into productivity performance figures that are fed as feedback into the Gap Analysis process along with the set targets established by the goals and objectives. The outcome of the Gap Analysis, (KPI's amplified by the Enterprise Performance Management EPM unit), will provide the necessary direction for modifying the logistics of the Business Process operations. Such well designed system can be developed as the standard for all enterprise business applications.
Our firm is offering this tailored solution be built using CRM 2011, xRM Engineering, Goals settings, Dialogs, workflow, WCF, .Net framework, EPM, BP management and current applications development technologies. Give us a call for further consultation.

Enterprise Mobile Device Management
Mobile devices have recently matured to highly sophisticated equipment capable of facilitating operational business processes, various communication schemes and accessibility of information everywhere.
Such usage requires utilization of the full capabilities of those devices through the use of specialized applications and solutions with the objective of operational streamlining and collaboration between enterprise personnel.
These devices have enormous variety of communications capabilities. It is very important that only secured protocols be implemented and they should be within acceptable security models.
Regulations for mobile devices utilization recommend that all communication protocols should go through centralized mobile device manager system (MDM) for applications deployment, control, support and maintenance. Only devices that can integrate with such system are permitted to operate and connect with the enterprise network.
These mobile devices need to operate as standalone devices, and connect to network resources either continuously (online mode) or when needed (offline mode).
