Traditional vs. Value Creed’s Integrated Approach

While the traditional Endur upgrade approach often faces inefficiencies due to siloed departments and delayed value realization, Value Creed’s integrated approach promotes cross-functional collaboration, early system engagement, and real-time validation.

Traditional Approach

Functional Silos

Departments work in isolation, leading to fragmented processes and redundant efforts.

End User Reliance

Heavy dependence on end users for requirements definition often results in incomplete specifications that misalign with business goals.

Reactive System Evaluation

Evaluation occurs after requirements are gathered, missing opportunities for early optimization.

Value Creed’s Integrated Approach

Cross-Functional Organization

Projects are designed around cross-department collaboration, ensuring all business processes are aligned for a cohesive solution.

Commodity Scenarios

Real-world commodity transaction scenarios are utilized to validate system requirements, ensuring alignment with business needs.

Early System Interaction

Teams interact with the system early on, allowing rapid adjustments and proactive optimization before go-live.
