Systems & Business Process Review
Leverage The Ascension Group’s industry and software know-how as your organization plans for growth. Ascension provides functional and technical assessments as well as actionable advice to anyone as a limited-scope engagement without any software investment required.
The goal of our Business Process Review (BPR) is to provide your organization with an assessment of your current solution environment while identifying opportunities for improvement based on your short and long-term goals.
At the conclusion of our engagement, our team provides a detailed Functional Roadmap Document (FRD) that documents our findings and recommendations. This document is yours and can be used as a blueprint for further engagements with Ascension or with another company of your choosing.

Mergers & Acquisitions Impact Assessments
For many organizations in the mid-market, M&A activities are an ever present option to grow and protect their business. Many companies underestimate the technology impact and effort needed to make the acquisition go as smoothly as possible.
The Ascension Group has over 15 years experience in working with organizations to make M&A activities a success. We work with your organization to understand the potential acquisition’s technology footprint and business processes. We then provide a document that provides our recommendations for a smooth technology transition/integration. This includes advising your team of potential business processes and procedures that may need to be changed as well as estimate of both cost and time.
With the proper planning and action plans that have resulted from these engagements, Ascension has helped companies make acquisitions and fully integrates systems in as little as a few days.
