Project Auditing & Recovery

Independent Oversight

Our independent verification & validation (IV&V) services allow us to take an objective view and identify high-risk areas. We’ll help you mitigate risks and prepare contingency plans.

Unbiased Evaluations

We protect your organization’s interests by reviewing your vendor’s deliverables and project management processes. While most consulting firms have financial ties to ERP vendors, we are independent and can audit any vendor’s ERP project plan.

Benefits Realization

As our ERP reports repeatedly show, many ERP projects go over budget and take longer than expected. Project auditing allows your organization to ensure that the costly project you are conducting is being performed as efficiently and effectively as possible. While project auditing is critical from a technical and budgetary perspective, the bigger question is . . .

Will you actually receive the benefits you set out to achieve?

Are You Executing Appropriately?

We conduct periodic reviews that evaluate if your project is being executed appropriately. This includes a review of project documentation and practices that assess the following:

• Are requirements being met?

• Are appropriate techniques being used to manage the project?

• Are your standards and industry best practices being used in the project?

Will Your Project Provide the Expected Value?

With our independent verification and validation services, we ensure your project is designed to yield expected benefits by: 

• Understanding your project objectives

• Examining your business case and benefits realization plans

• Assessing if expected benefits are likely to be realized or if adjustments are necessary

Get Back on Track

We make recommendations for best-in-class execution and ERP project recovery by assessing implementation practices such as:

• Project management techniques, including activity tracking, budget and schedule control, status reporting, etc.
