TriNet Selects Raven for Managing Business Requirements
EMERYVILLE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Ravenflow, the leader in Business Requirements Definition™, today announced that TriNet (www.trinet.com), a leading provider of human resources outsourcing and consulting services to small and medium-sized companies, has selected RAVEN to transform their business requirements definition and specification activities.
TriNet equips companies with the payroll, benefits, and human capital processes they need to become leading destinations for top talent within their respective industries, while minimizing areas of employer-related liability that particularly flare up during turbulent economic times. These factors enabled TriNet to increase its sales results even in a down economy, adding a total of nearly 5,000 new employees to its customer base in 2008, representing a 40 percent increase over the same period last year.
"Our dramatic growth demonstrates that small and medium-sized companies are outsourcing their non-core functions like HR to optimize around their key differentiators and growth drivers," said Burton M. Goldfield, TriNet's president & CEO. Goldfield added, "At TriNet, we need to find ways to work more efficiently with our clients to cut costs, while at the same time deliver higher quality applications."
Like many businesses, it was common for business requirements to be unfinished or not signed off when development started, resulting in substantial rework and overloading the testing organization. TriNet conducted extensive evaluations of multiple products for creating a requirements blueprint and unanimously chose the RAVEN software. RAVEN was the only product that automatically exposed errors in process logic and helped identify missing requirements in their business requirements specifications.
TriNet is using RAVEN to work faster while at the same time eliciting better feedback from the business, and to streamline the requirements validation process with both business and IT stakeholders. With RAVEN, TriNet is able to improve the quality of their requirements, and therefore to reduce the amount of rework and defects. As a result, developed applications can be delivered more rapidly and with higher quality to better meet the business need.
"Especially in this tough economic climate, companies like TriNet see the compelling ROI of investing in better business requirements solutions," said Susan Boers, President and CEO of Ravenflow. "The return on investment in producing better quality requirements includes both reducing costs of development and accelerating the time to market on key applications. We are proud to have TriNet as a new client."
