AN R&D COMPANY
Balandra Software is a spanish company, born from the experience of its founder, Sylvia Díaz-Montenegro, in customer-facing processes when she was CIO launching first Direct Line and then ING Direct in Spain.
The customer on-boarding in financial services companies is a clear example of a High Variety process, as it is also in other industries such as the Communications services or Utilities.
Our technology is (yet) unique in the world: we are pioneers using artifact-centric modelling to represent the behavior or processes that need to constantly adapt to the case situation, decoupling it from the internal tasks.
COMPLEXITY SPECIALISTS
ARTIFACT-CENTRIC PIONEERS
We’ve been working a while around artifact-centric, including a collaboration with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya around the design methodology BALSA, to create a design method of complex system behaviors, formalizing them to make them readable and repeatable.
