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.

Endur Upgrade Approach: A Comprehensive Overview

Upgrade Assessment Phase

In this 6–8-week project, we assess capabilities, processes, and implementation mapping to select the appropriate Endur version, while also planning work breakdown, timelines, and costs prior to the upgrade.

Upgrade Execution Phase

This phase involves implementing upgrades or re-implementing solutions in the newer Endur version. It follows the established work breakdown structure and adheres to a defined scope and schedule.

Planning Your Endur Enhancement

#1 Upgrade Assessment Phase

A comprehensive review of existing systems, data flows, and business processes identifies areas needing adjustments during the upgrade. Change management strategies and stakeholder mapping are developed to ensure all parties are prepared. Clear communication plans are established to maintain transparency and facilitate smooth information flow, fostering a culture ready for change and adoption.

Selecting the appropriate Endur version is crucial for balancing the need for enhanced functionality with project feasibility. Advisory services analyze the cost-benefit of various versions, considering factors such as risk exposure, performance improvements, and alignment with industry best practices. This approach ensures the new version is well-suited to meet both current and future business requirements.

A robust implementation plan is created with detailed timelines, milestones, and resource allocation strategies. This phase aligns all relevant teams and sets expectations. The roadmap highlights integration points and dependencies, effectively managing complexities to ensure synchronized and efficient execution.

Strong change management practices are essential for a smooth upgrade process. Stakeholder mapping identifies key contributors, communication plans provide consistent updates, and tailored training initiatives prepare users. These efforts foster user adoption and maintain organizational alignment throughout the upgrade lifecycle.
