The CatalistIQ ERP Assurance Model.
A structured, evidence-based system of controls that guides transformations from initial planning through full-scale operational stabilization.
The 5 Phases of Assurance
We enforce strict exit criteria before any project is allowed to advance to the next stage.
Build the baseline requirements and evidence standards.
We define objective success criteria, map operational requirements, baseline timeline expectations, and document the specific evidence standards required to clear milestones.
Confirm executive ownership and vendor commitments.
We restructure software licensing contracts, link Statements of Work (SOWs) to performance gates, define project decision rights, and verify client-integrator alignment.
Validate progress using objective testing criteria.
We audit database configuration fits, test legacy data migration integrity, analyze user-acceptance results, and ensure deliverables match operational needs.
Manage scope deviations and change logs.
We govern the change control board, verify vendor billing logs, audit integrator change-order justifications, and mitigate project delays.
Move forward only when exit criteria are satisfied.
We verify pre-go-live readiness metrics, audit end-user adoption rates, and oversee operational stabilization until transition risks are fully mitigated.
