Rolling Out a New System
With Confidence
Making a strategic investment in a new system is a significant business decision with high expectations for improved efficiencies, compliance, or transparency. As you prepare for your system implementation, or as you move past implementation into everyday use, stakeholders need confidence that the process will meet internal control requirements, and will ultimately be a value-added change to the business.
Johnson Lambert’s System Implementation Review process assesses the risks of a system implementation, pre- and/or post-implementation, addresses all system development and maintenance life cycle phases, and sets your organization up for success in utilizing your new system.
Our approach is flexible and can address your program’s inherent risks, ranging from functionality concerns to unsatisfied stakeholder requirements. We will understand how Agile is being implemented in your development process, delivery schedule, the team structure, and program organization. This will lead to efficiencies and more effective risk mitigation.
Scope of a System Implementation
Assessment Engagement
Customized for each unique organization and system, the scope of our engagements are designed around your specific risks, timing, and desired business outcomes.
Project Management Methodology
Project management implementation methodology is documented and implemented to ensure information systems are designed to include application controls that support complete, accurate, authorized, and valid transaction processing.
Security Assessment
Application roles are defined to maintain appropriate segregation of duties. Access to the operating system and database is limited to authorized personnel and based on job function.
Testing
A testing strategy is developed and followed for all significant changes in applications and infrastructure technology, which addresses unit, system, integration, and user acceptance level testing to help ensure that deployed systems operate as intended.
Interface
Interfaces with other systems are tested to confirm that data transmissions are complete and accurate.
Data Conversion Testing
The conversion of data is tested between its origin and its destination to confirm that it is complete and accurate.
Release Approvals
Appropriate considerations are made and approvals are obtained prior to go-live.
