Foundation Validate Stage

Validate is designed to give the customer the opportunity to formally validate the system. The newly configured and integrated system is used as a guide for formal user acceptance. The Validate Stage includes:

  • Validation Plan. Allegro develops a plan for user validation by the customer’s project team. For each business process, the Validation Plan will designate the customer user that will execute the process; the scope of the business entity, user groups, commodities, locations, contracts, and transactions for the process; and the time period for this scope.
  • Production Infrastructure. At this point, the customer establishes the network infrastructure for production deployment of the system, including database servers, application servers, desktops and laptops.
  • Validation Data Conversion. We execute the data conversion scripts to migrate data into the production environment.
  • Validation Execution. The customer project team then validates each business process in the Validation Plan. Allegro provides personnel to support the execution of user validation and assist in the resolution of business procedure, data and technical issues.
  • Validate Stage Completion. To close the Validate Stage, we submit a Stage Completion Notification to the customer project lead to document the mutual agreement of both teams to the completion of the stage.

Allegro determines that project scope specifications have been achieved, and assists the customer as they validate business processes and users begin to formally adopt the system.
