Our Team is in your corner

The statistics of project failure, particularly in the Information Technology space are staggering.

1. 75% of US projects are considered failures with 50% of projects delivered 200% over budget – Gartner Group
2. 50% of software projects in Australia are still failing, with botched, re-scoped and cancelled projects wasting around A$197,000 per week - Computerworld 2008
3. Software errors cost the US economy US$59.5 billion annually - National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
4. Globally, the cost of IT project failures reaches US$6.2 trillion a year - Sarah Runge, author of Stop Blaming the Software

In 2008 Jody Bullen was a practicing Business Analyst with 10 years’ experience and about to receive Computerworld’s prestigious BA of the year award.
He felt that while business analysis was crucial to project success, BA’s themselves weren’t being enabled by the tools in the market and were subsequently using tools that were not dedicated to their needs resulting in inefficiencies and administration overload.
The statistics, some of the early research above, was staggering & not only frustrating to the BA, but without effective information and requirements management, communication and deep stakeholder engagement there was significant risk to project delivery.
Jody wanted to make a difference, so in 2008 Yonix was created, targeting business projects which include a large element of software, and so the quest to help BA’s progress team capability, processes, consistency, requirements and improve overall outcomes began.
In case you are wondering Yonix doesn’t mean anything in another language or harbour a hidden message we wanted a clean canvas, a name that we could create our own brand for so in our world Yonix stands for a tool built by BA’s for BA’s, simple as that.

With this in mind our goals for Yonix are:

1. 
   Create a tool that is a viable alternative to MS Word, Excel and the legacy requirements management tools.
2. Foster collaboration, make it easy to share and involve parts of the business that are crucial to the project
3. Improve team capability, processes, consistency and overall outcomes
4. Remove barriers to communication and make it easily accessible from anywhere
5. Above all else it must maintain being built by BA’s for BA’s

Four years on Yonix continues to hold these values at its core while we develop our product and passionately work with Enterprises worldwide to provide a tool specific to BA’s that fosters collaboration, reduces administration and can overall help reduce the statistics of IT project failure.
