The bridge between business process and information systems reengineering is all too often missing from the roadmap of reengineering efforts. When process and system engineers get to this transition, they discover a rickety old bridge with steep terrain on either side of a wide chasm. Recognizing this dilemma, we developed the Business Reengineering for Information Technology (BRIT) approach that systematically transitions from business process to information systems engineering. BRIT is designed to handle a wide range of reengineering factors including: “best practices,” COTS applications, non‐standard business processes, and change situations ranging from continuous improvement to radical restructuring. This proven approach is described here with relevant examples of its applications.
