“We have been very satisfied with the breadth of the Allegro platform and the visibility that it has brought into our fuel hedging operations. Upgrading to Allegro 8 and adding enhanced functionality around hedge accounting was a natural decision. The Southwest Airlines and Allegro teams worked closely in the planning phase of this project and clearly demonstrated our mutual commitment to supporting Southwest Airlines’ long term needs.”

Foundation Confirm Stage

During the Confirm Stage all in-scope business processes are reviewed with the customer using their data in the Allegro system. Allegro and customer users then determine which extensions will be in project scope to resolve any potential gaps. The Confirm Stage includes:

  • Business Process Confirmation. We work with your subject matter experts to confirm the proposed execution of each of your business processes, in the Allegro system, using your actual converted data. We record any incremental requirements and collaborate with you to determine the best resolution for each incremental requirement. Typical resolutions include changes to data conversion, changes to business processes and procedures, development of extensions (data model, visual model, messaging, connection, report and web services objects), or removing the requirement from the scope of this project. One of the strengths of Allegro is the ability to extend product functionality without requiring enhancements to the core code. Through Allegro extensions our consultants can enable your unique business requirements within the application.
  • Extension Scope Definition. Allegro and the customer agree to the list of extensions in-scope as a result of the incremental requirements and resolutions identified during Business Process Confirmation.
  • Confirm Stage Completion. To close the Confirm Stage, Allegro submits a Stage Completion Notification to customer project lead to document the mutual agreement of both teams to the completion of the stage.

At the conclusion of the Confirm Stage the customer has seen their business processes  demonstrated in the Allegro system and a plan for resolving any incremental requirements has been clearly articulated. This helps ensure that customer expectations are clearly addressed within the scope and the time parameters of the project.
