Business Analysis Services

Velvetech’s team of Business Analysts helps companies turn their tech ideas into viable solutions while staying on time and on budget. We bridge the gap between all project stakeholders, elicit requirements, and craft accurate documentation.

Why You Need a Business Analyst on Your Software Project

THE ROLE OF BUSINESS ANALYSIS

Business analysis (BA) in software development is the essential process that incorporates defining business needs, validating project ideas and feasibility, and facilitating communication between you and the tech team. It ensures that your future solution is built in alignment with operational requirements and addresses initial goals.

At Velvetech, we are not just following the BABOK Guide that’s recognized globally as the standard of business analysis. We are certified as an Endorsed Education Provider by IIBA, and our BA professionals have earned core certifications like ECBA, CCBA, and CBAP — knowledge and skills that drive tangible results for our clients.

We didn’t have the resources in-house to accelerate our opportunities, and we would still not be to market if we hadn’t gone to a very capable outside contractor to help to accelerate our process. Velvetech were very articulate, polite and professional. We’re very pleased with our working relationship with Velvetech and hope they can be part of our operation into the foreseeable future.
