Our Approach
Niti’s Systems Engineering
Niti’s Systems Engineering approach is the foundation of all our systems implementation consulting services. All of our resources are either certified or trained in the FTA approved Systems Engineering approach for Systems Life-Cycle including early Concept Development, Requirements Definition, Architecture Analysis and Design, Specification Development, Alternative Analysis and Recommendations, System Deployment, Quality Assurance and Testing, System Validation and Verification (V&V), Operation and Maintenance Support and System Retirement Planning.
Our extensive experience with complex systems implementation at numerous public sector clients has allowed us to develop and refine multiple custom tools, frameworks and templates for each state of Systems Engineering life-cycle. We can leverage and customize these tools to streamline the deployment process and avoid pitfalls.
Organizational Change Management and Community Outreach
Niti System’s Organizational Change Management (OCM) approach is based on the proven ADKAR framework by PROSCI. We have customized this approach and created tools and templates for Stakeholder Management, Organizational Alignment, Communications Strategy, Corporate Governance, Performance Measurement and Improvement, Business Process Transformation and Change Management Monitoring. Our custom approach is used for competency assessment and skill development for employees and knowledge transfer/training activities.
Our unique Community Outreach approach is based on our public sector experience and Organizational Change Management toolkit. Our certified Change Managers can help you with the communication planning, stakeholder engagement plan and community outreach strategies. We have a strong team of communications strategists, writers, and graphic designers with public sector experience to support we’re equipped to support the full life-cycle, from concept to design to delivery. Our strategy includes a continuous feedback and evaluation process to constantly gauge the effectiveness of our campaign and refine our strategy as needed.
Training
Our training approach and methodology goes hand in hand with our Organizational Change Management approach and is based on the proven ADKAR Model created by PROSCI. PROSCI developed a simple but powerful model to help drive successful change. The ADKAR® Model is one of the most widely-requested and sought-after models for change management.
We recognize that training programs are not “one size fits all”, and that each organization has their unique setup, needs and requirements. Therefore, at the start of this project our team works closely with the project team to review the organization structure, staffing levels, functional scope, business processes, technology, and organizational considerations. Our Training Experts assess this information as create tailormade training program. Our Training Development Methodology includes six major phases: Analysis, Design, Prototype, Development, Finalize and Delivery.
Analysis: Analysis starts the methodology phases and include the activities to verify the current goals, scope, and expected deliverables and examine the target audience and business processes to provide the inputs for the Design phase
Design: The design phase includes the key activities to build the structure of the training and the individual courses.
Prototype: The prototype phase provides the opportunity to develop standards and example training outputs for review and approval.
Develop: The development phase is the core of the develop methodology. In this phase, all the course materials prepared for use.
Finalize: The finalize phase is where each course is reviewed in a final walk through to allow MTA to see final product and provide any final feedback or corrections prior to the training delivery.
Deliver: This phase is the final activity in the methodology and consists of two parts.
Business Process Management
We live in an increasingly competitive world. In response to ever increasing competition and aggressive deadlines, the businesses are looking at innovative ways to accelerate the implementation timeline. The Rapid Application Development (RAD) and Rapid Product Development (RPD) frameworks have frameworks and cultures promotes the structured process for deployment of systems and products in the shortest possible time.
Niti Systems has developed a custom Rapid Process Development Framework (RPDF) to support our Agile Project Management (APM) approach. The RPDF was developed by using our domain expertise and industry best practices. The goal of RPDF is to leverage our baseline processes and structured approach for rapid documentation of the current state processes and analyze the future state. Each baseline processes gets tweaked and personalized for your unique needs based on various parameters defined in the RPDF. RFPS combines the rigors of business process reengineering within a project life cycle to perform the comprehensive business process transformation.

Enterprise Architecture
Niti Systems has developed a custom approach based on Enterprise Architecture (EA) that focuses on alignment of an agency’s business goals, visions and processes with technology capabilities and investment. With the goal of using technology as “enabler”, we help agencies optimize the business value of their technology investment. Our services ensure that the systems we help select and implement meet our client’s stated performance goals, aligns with their business goals and provide the highest level of data quality and integrity.
We start our engagement with meeting the client leadership team, management team and relevant stakeholders to understand and document the medium to long-term goals and objectives in our custom frameworks and templates. We then review their current systems, current business processes, technology infrastructure and staff levels to determine the gaps. We use our custom framework that is based on four Enterprise Architecture domains to create a vision for future state that aligns with the agency’s business objectives.
