Codifying Simplicity

Kitbag Consulting has already posted an article about the level and sources of complexity when designing Integrated Business Support Systems for government and large corporates.

Using their 40 years Industrial Engineering experience and 15 years of recognised consulting excellence to the Australian national security and Defence environment, they have taken their lessons learnt and built their own Integrated Business Support System – DOLIUM.

So, what is DOLIUM?

DOLIUM is a platform for organisations to model and document their activities and then use those activities to deliver against their mission and objectives. Modelled and interconnected activities are used to; perform daily tasks, optimise business or regulatory activity, coordinate the various business functions that connect to meet organisational outcomes, link critical data and decision points to drive efficiency in a world of constant change.

Know-How Management.
DOLIUM contains the know-how for line management and staff. It becomes every employee’s super coach when it comes to performing tasks and everyday critical activities in the pursuit of business operational excellence.

DOLIUM is a centralised but accessible platform for conducting activities, documents, processes and data. Its aim is to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards, as well as improving operational efficiency and product quality.

DOLIUM facilitates collaboration among team members by providing tools that support shared editing, feedback and version control. This collective approach ensures that a broad spectrum of insights and experiences are incorporated into the models, enhancing their accuracy and relevance. This allows management and staff to have all the resources on hand when it is required to make informed decisions and choices.

System & Data Integration.
DOLIUM integrates with existing IT infrastructure and the myriads of data sources, connecting the activity model to corporate sources of truth. This reduces the operational effort required of non-technical staff and the integration effort of technical staff.

Visualisation and Analysis Tools.
With advanced visualisation and analysis tools, DOLIUM helps users identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement within their models. These insights can be understood and acted upon without requiring deep technical knowledge.

Quality Management.
As an interactive eQMS (electronic Quality Management System), DOLIUM establishes and maintains effective management practices, ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and drives continuous improvement in outcome quality and customer / community satisfaction. It contains internal algorithms to provide management with a Quality Score to build awareness in ensuring activities and policy documents are maintained and current.

Business Continuity Management
DOLIUM helps to identify and manage potential threats to operations. This ensures the continued delivery of services or outcomes in the event of disruptive incidents. These incidents can range from natural disasters and technological failures to staff churn and human-made crises, such as cyberattacks or pandemics.

Data Management & Controls
For complex organisations engaged in activity modelling and function mapping, data management and the application of controls is an added benefit within DOLIUM. These benefits refer to the accuracy, consistency and trustworthiness of data over time, free from errors and discrepancies (pollution) which can be relied upon for decision-making, analysis and operational processes.

DOLIUM prevents data pollution at the point of entry with the application of your specific business rules applied universally to govern the system. This means that data remains clean and analysis ready, so you can get reliable critical insights when and where they’re needed most.

Inbuilt Simplicity The platform contains and has incorporated guided methodologies and best practices to help non-technical users understand the principles of effective activity modelling. These resources provide a roadmap for capturing activities in a structured and systematic way to ensure all the benefits are realised in the quickest time possible by the cheapest resources available.

DOLIUM is Australian designed and owned and is real sovereign capability.
