01 Problem

Business Context

Commercial ERP rollouts across a multi-entity group needing disciplined delivery and vendor coordination.

Why it mattered

Without structured UAT and escalation, process-fit gaps surface at go-live — the most expensive moment to find them.

Problem Statement

ERP delivery risked slipping on vendor coordination, unstructured UAT, and unclear escalation paths.

02 Solution

A governance wrapper around vendor delivery — UAT scripts, RAID log, and executive reporting connecting business owners to vendor execution.

Objectives

  • Run structured, traceable UAT
  • Plan training and go-live readiness
  • Frame issues and escalate to the right owner
  • Validate process-fit before go-live
