Organizations are rapidly transforming to increase their capability to meet customer demands for fast, seamless and user-friendly technologies. Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) validates that your new processes, technologies and organizational changes are set up to succeed. Rapid Engagement IV&V is tailored for shorter transformation assessments that can last from several weeks to a few months and provide you the benefit of quick and early independent insights that:
- Validate you are on the right track
- Identify potential for increased business value
- Create an early feedback loop with robust dialog
- Provide greater lead time to identify challenges and develop remediation plans
- Avoid costly rework
