Providing a solution to a business' needs requires a thorough understanding of the business field in question. Generally speaking, the field experts are the ones that can best define these needs.
In order to implement these needs, it is often better if they are understood and reinterpreted by a technical team that is unfamiliar with the field.
The intervention of an intermediary team often delays the bringing to market of the business solution and increases the risk of genuine needs being poorly understood.
The best way to capture requirements at their source is to enable business units to describe their needs themselves, visually and by using the vocabulary of their domain.
This is possible with a business modeling tool, customized for the concerned field.
The specifications - which are still understandable by the business experts - are not just drawings made with Powerpoint or Visio, but real models containing data. They can therefore be automatically validated and used to generate structured documentation.
Furthermore, you can also use this model to automatically configure an application or solve formulas, allowing a faster time-to-market process of your products.
