At Maat Professional Services we pay special attention to business analysis, as it is an integral part of the software development process. Our business analysts may identify and study your current business processes, tasks and needs of your organization to collect the requirements of your development project. Then, technical experts and software architects define the means and methods for the satisfaction of your needs and requirements through business software. At this stage, we prepare and elaborate requirements, technical specifications, CASE, and UML models. After the business analysis stage, you will receive a set of documents that fully describe your company and/or business, together with technical requirements for future software solutions. Recent industry studies show that modern software projects spend 40 % of their effort on rework on average. As a result, over 60 % of software projects overrun budgets, miss schedules, and substantially reduce delivered functionality. Without a clear idea of how to set requirements, most software development projects will face either significant rework or fail altogether.  Maat provides a framework for identifying business problems, and linking requirements to business objectives in order to solve business problems and set project scope.  Our business analyses are made up of several components including::

• Data or requirements gathering
• Documenting requirements
• Analysis
• Communication
• Evaluation
• Creating potential Solutions
• Implementation
