Process Re-engineering implies understanding the current business process and then suggest a suitable solution according to the business need.

Client might need this in order to support growth, mitigate a challenge or respond to current market trends. If a process isn't working or no longer needed, client can do away with this process; if a process isn't yielding desired results, process re-engineering can help in identifying the gaps and suggest a solution to optimize the process and increase business value.
