Center of Excellence
In today’s volatile era of growing global competition, decreasing margins and increasing business risks, organizations are faced with the dual challenges of maintaining higher productivity and providing innovative solutions that will make them stand out from the competitors.

A Center of Excellence (CoE) is a virtual organization that employs specialized skills to encourage and facilitate collaboration within a specific focus area. It also helps manage best practices for a specific functional area with an aim of increasing business success and productivity. The CoE framework encompasses all the strategic assets – people, processes and technology –that govern how the organizational unit always engages and delivers highly effective and efficient solutions for larger organizations.

CoE is another area where Vizitech is expanding into, by focusing on services such as the ones below:

• Developing process models for managing application releases of e-commerce and payment gateway services/software applications.
• Developing process models for infrastructure (servers, firewalls, and network traffic for heavy loads) and applications for monitoring uninterrupted services to consumers.
• Utilization of a resource pool that has specialized skills, including methodology, process, continuous improvement techniques, and tools.
• Following and adhering to the best industry practices such as the latest guidelines provided by PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
• Ensuring continuous improvement and adoption of the latest technology in data analytics.
• Exploring various collaboration techniques that can provide a complete view of end-to-end processes across enterprises, and identifying opportunities that can combine common processes across chains of previously disconnected processes.
• Discovery of redundant processes throughout the organization and providing opportunities for business process alignment.
• The CoE aids the reuse of some existing programs/tools by acting as a common repository of shared artifacts, best practices, and knowledge across projects which can be reused with minimal changes and effort. This re-assessment helps drive the organization goal, thus reducing the time and effort to complete a project and achieve standardization.
• In addition to knowledge transfer between the CoE and individual projects, the CoE promotes knowledge transfer between vendors and other external resources. This type of knowledge transfer is crucial to the success of any organizations as well as their rate of efficiency and self-sufficiency.
