What We Do
Make operational needs the starting point.
ATBE primarily works with architecture, engineering, and landscape architecture firms, and also with contractors—including landscape contracting businesses. Many have existing IT support but lack dedicated capacity to connect workflows, ownership, software decisions, and data flows. Each service is independently available; assessment is an optional sensible starting point when the current state is unclear.
Service 01
Systems & Operations Assessment
See how work and information move today.
When operations span people, applications, vendors, and departments, it can be difficult to see where work slows down or responsibility gets lost. ATBE documents how a selected part of the organization actually works.
The assessment covers people, responsibilities, workflows, applications, data flows, vendors, and dependencies. The result is a factual current-state picture that can inform technology decisions, vendor conversations, procurement, and internal planning.
An assessment can focus on a single workflow or department. It does not assume that change is required; the goal is clarity about what is working, where friction sits, and what choices follow.
Discuss This Service →Possible deliverables
- —Current-state workflow maps
- —Application inventory and data-flow map
- —Ownership gaps and dependencies
- —Findings and prioritized recommendations
Useful when
- Organizations preparing for a system change and needing an operational baseline
- Teams with an unclear handoff, duplicate records, or fragmented applications
- A department or workflow that needs a contained, standalone review
Service 02
Workflow Improvement & Ownership
Make the work clearer before adding more tools.
Workflow problems often appear as software problems. The underlying issue may be an unclear responsibility, missing handoff, undocumented process, or a change that was never adopted.
ATBE maps workflow stages and handoffs, clarifies responsibilities, and defines improved processes, procedures, and requirements. Automation opportunities and requirements can be identified; development and configuration require appropriately scoped specialists.
Work can cover stages, handoffs, approvals, recurring processes, material preparation, field readiness, or resource coordination. The goal is a workflow that reflects how teams deliver work and can be maintained after the engagement.
Discuss This Service →Possible deliverables
- —Improved workflow maps and responsibility tables
- —Checklists, procedures, and reusable templates
- —Defined automation opportunities and requirements
- —Adoption and change requirements with implementation plan
Useful when
- Teams with repeated work, unclear approvals, or frequent exceptions
- Organizations whose staff work around software or rely on informal coordination
- Departments preparing a workflow change or platform configuration
Service 03
Technology & Data Planning
Choose technology in the context of the work it must support.
Planning is more useful when it starts with real operational requirements, existing applications, records, and the people who use them. ATBE helps organizations compare practical options without presuming that replacement is always the answer.
Work can define requirements, evaluation criteria, system relationships, data ownership, and priorities for configuration, integration, or replacement. The plan considers implementation capacity, procurement, dependencies, and the decisions the organization needs to make.
Technology and data planning can follow an assessment or be scoped around a defined decision when enough current-state information is already available.
Discuss This Service →Possible deliverables
- —Requirements and evaluation criteria
- —System map and agreed data ownership decisions
- —Integration priorities and phased roadmap
- —Decision points and implementation considerations
Useful when
- Organizations choosing, configuring, integrating, or replacing software
- Teams that need clarity on authoritative records and system relationships
- Teams preparing for technology decisions and needing clear data responsibilities
Data and implementation
Where information lives, moves, and belongs.
A data review traces where information originates, which record is authoritative, who updates and uses it, how it transfers and how often, where conflicts appear, and what ongoing maintenance requires. A useful answer does not require putting everything in one app. Cloud, computing, storage and network infrastructure are supporting considerations, evaluated only where the operational requirements call for them.
Illustrative example — not a client result
A project status may begin in a field update, be reviewed by a project lead, and then inform a schedule or billing record. Mapping the handoff helps identify where ownership, timing, or definitions need to be made explicit.
Implementation is scoped and shared.
ATBE can assess and map workflows and data, gather requirements, define responsibilities, design processes and SOPs, and identify automation requirements. Development and configuration—and some coordination—require appropriately scoped specialists. Defined delivery responsibilities sit alongside client owners and existing IT providers.
How responsibilities are shared with IT and specialists →Start with the question in front of you.
Start with an introductory conversation. ATBE will shape a tailored scope and proposal around the question; an assessment is optional, not a required first purchase.
