Business Engineering
is an interdisciplinary academic approach focusing on the construction, coordination and management of complex businesses to support their transformation from industrial to digital enterprises. The main concept of business engineering is the holistic design of organisation, business processes and information technology as one homogeneous business system. Key objective is to create agile and flexible business solutions by reducing complexity, aligning strategy and operations as well as business and IT. In order to ensure the consistency and quality of business engineering, methodologies, models and tools are playing a key role.
C-ENS
is a business engineering methodology for design and engineering of comprehensive business architectures. Based on the concept of Viable System Model (Stafford Beer), C-ENS provides consistent engineering principles, business design patterns and transformation procedures that enable business engineers to design consistent and composable business architectures.
The clear and consistent definition of business domains and components in conjunction with predefined, industry specific reference models, allows for rapid deployment of innovative and effective business solutions.

Turning Strategy into operational Capabilities
What does "Customer Centricity", "White Label" or other strategic trends really mean for your operational model? How can a new IT platform like SAP be implemented efficiently? Key to a successful transformation is the existence of a holistic business architecture. AIP’s C-ENS methodology provides a clear assignment of business capabilities to business components down to the level of business objects and processes. Following the principle of "ready to deploy", our engineering team will construct a detailed business blueprint, that will enable a smooth and efficient deployment into the operational platform. All business blueprints conducted by AIP are independent from IT and will allow deployment by different providers on any IT platform.
