HuffWilliamson Solutions focuses on reducing waste and variations in business processes through business process improvement (BPI). They work with process owners and management to determine inefficiencies and minimize them. HuffWilliamson believes technology plays a key role in BPI by reducing steps and upgrading outdated systems that cause bottlenecks. BPI can help businesses by creating clearly defined processes, increasing efficiency, and allowing them to stay competitive through continuous improvement. HuffWilliamson offers customized BPI solutions using .NET technologies to automate and improve business processes.

We do this by working in conjunction with process owners and Management to determine where waste happens and assess what can to done to minimize such actions. At HuffWilliamson Solutions we believe technology plays a key role in implementing a successful BPI solution. Not only will processes like “moving the fax closer” reduce steps, but antiquated computer hardware and software can play a large roll in bottlenecked business processes. This becomes apparent when older processes can no longer handle the current volume of business and that’s when HuffWilliamson Solutions goes to work! http://www.huffwilliamson.com/services/ What is BPI?
