Implementation & Realisation
From design to a successful go-live.
A successful S2P implementation requires coherence between processes, people and technology. Spendlinq offers substantive expertise and independent direction, from design through go-live and realisation.
From design to a successful go-live.
An implementation is where interests, choices and dependencies come together. We safeguard your organisation’s perspective and connect business, IT and the implementation partner. With knowledge of both S2P processes and technology, we help you make the right design and configuration choices, safeguard coherence and make sure decisions are taken on time. That keeps your project on schedule and within budget.
Why Spendlinq for implementation & delivery.
Three reasons why our approach makes the difference from design to go-live.
Your interests come first
We work entirely in the interests of your organisation, including when dealing with software suppliers and implementation partners. That keeps us focused on your objectives, processes and requirements.
S2P knowledge and project experience
With in-depth knowledge of S2P processes and experience in complex implementations, we can assess substantive choices and steer progress and coherence.
From design to practice
We look beyond the technical go-live. Processes, functional configuration, decision-making and organisational preparation come together in an approach that works.
Implementation support
Substantive guidance and direction throughout the entire implementation.
We guide your organisation through the implementation and safeguard coherence between processes, requirements, functional configuration and the choices made. We work closely with software and implementation partners and make sure your organisation’s interests and principles remain leading.
When is this relevant?
When you’ve selected a new solution and need substantive expertise and direction to make your project a success. For example, to make the best configuration choices, guide decision-making and make sure the solution fits the processes, requirements and objectives you want.
What we do
- Substantive guidance on design and configuration
- Safeguarding requirements, scope and the choices made
- Preparing and guiding decision-making
- Alignment between business, IT and implementation partner
- Coordination of testing and acceptance
- Safeguarding coherence towards go-live.
What it delivers
- Control over the substance and quality of the implementation
- A configuration that fits your processes and requirements
- Clear decision-making and responsibilities
- An organisation that goes into go-live well prepared.
Project & Programme Management
Control over a complex implementation programme.
We take charge of the project or programme and safeguard scope, planning, budget, risks, dependencies and decision-making. We maintain an overview of the various workstreams and the parties involved. That way we keep track of progress and flag bottlenecks in good time.
When is this relevant?
When an implementation affects multiple processes, systems, business units or suppliers and strong direction is needed. Especially when internal capacity is limited, or when several parties share responsibility for the result.
What we do
- Project and programme management
- Scope, planning and budget control
- Risk and issue management
- Governance and decision-making
- Coordination of workstreams and dependencies
- Stakeholder and supplier management
- Reporting to the steering committee and management
What it delivers
- Control over progress, budget and risks
- Clear governance and decision-making
- Timely insight into bottlenecks and dependencies
- A manageable programme focused on the shared end result
Process Design
S2P processes that work logically and are workable in practice.
Our experts translate the way of working you want into clear end-to-end S2P processes, even when they aren’t housed in a single system. In doing so, we look for the right balance between organisational needs, standardisation and the capabilities of the chosen technology.
When is this relevant?
When existing processes need to be redesigned as part of implementing a new solution, or when processes are too complex, fragmented or insufficiently standardised. An implementation then gives you the chance not simply to move the existing way of working to a new system, but to genuinely improve your processes.
What we do
- Analysis of current and desired processes
- Design of end-to-end S2P processes per category
- Harmonisation and standardisation
- Translation of business needs into process choices
- Alignment with the capabilities of the technology
- Documentation of process flows, roles and responsibilities.
What it delivers
- Clear and workable S2P processes
- Less unnecessary complexity and fewer exceptions
- A better fit between process and technology
- A solid basis for configuration, testing and adoption.
Functional Design
From need to a suitable functional configuration.
We translate processes and requirements into a functional design that guides the configuration of the chosen solution. In this way, we bridge the gap between what the organisation needs and what the technology makes possible.
When is this relevant?
When functional choices need to be made during an implementation about how processes are supported in the solution. For example around workflows, roles, authorisations, approvals and other functional principles.
What we do
- Translation of processes into functional configuration
- Elaboration of functional design choices
- Assessment of standard functionality and any deviations
- Alignment of workflows, roles and authorisations
- Documentation and validation of requirements
- Alignment with software and implementation partners.
What it delivers
- A clear translation of your process into technology
- A functional configuration that fits the processes you want
- Less ambiguity and rework during the implementation
- A clear basis for configuration, testing and acceptance.
