the need for additional subscriptions.
End-to-end S21.1 → S25 upgrade delivered on time and within budget with business continuity.
Core report retrievals improved, accelerating analysis and
decision-making.
Custom report retrievals significantly improved, streamlining critical daily operations.
Key task execution greatly improved, reducing overall cycle times across operations.
No UAT defects and zero post-go-live issues, ensuring business continuity.
Value Creed executed a structured, phased upgrade, starting with a clear assessment and scope definition to align stakeholders on goals, timelines, and risks. A well-planned roadmap combined infrastructure refresh, technical remediation, and user enablement, helping reduce ETRM upgrade costs and downtime while ensuring the project stayed on track and within budget. With agile governance, transparent communication, and rigorous testing, the project delivered significant RightAngle upgrade performance improvements and enabled a seamless CTRM upgrade with zero UAT defects, resulting in a stable, future-ready platform.
Upgrade Advisory & Planning
We began with a comprehensive analysis of the RightAngle S23–S25 release changes, reviewing customizations, workflows, version dependencies, and custom code compatibility. Through stakeholder workshops, we developed a phased roadmap that aligned business priorities, minimized implementation risks, and ensured a smooth upgrade. The move to RightAngle S25 also enabled improved system performance, enhanced risk management, Asset Transaction Management (ATM), and stronger security with OpenID Connect SSO and MFA.
Infrastructure Setup & Scaling
To support the upgraded platform, we modernized the infrastructure by validating and upgrading server environments for long-term scalability and stability. The non-production environment was upgraded and validated first, ensuring readiness before the production rollout to minimize risks during cutover.
Technical Upgrade & Testings
Our team delivered a seamless technical upgrade, including database updates, code refactoring, and remediation of all custom code. We executed comprehensive functional, regression, integration, and performance testing with full coverage to ensure compatibility across all modules, interfaces, and workflows. The new feature was tested extensively to guarantee zero disruption to existing processes while unlocking performance improvements.
User Enablement & UAT
To ensure a smooth adoption, we conducted structured UAT cycles covering every business scenario. We provided feature walkthroughs, Proofs of Concept (POCs) for new functionalities like Basis P/L and Mark-to-Intent, and hands-on training sessions. This approach resulted in zero UAT defects and rapid user confidence in leveraging the upgraded system.
Cutover & Hyper-Care
A well-orchestrated cutover plan with predefined steps, roles, and rollback contingencies enabled a zero-downtime transition to the production environment. During hyper-care, we provided real-time support, resolved user queries immediately, and ensured operational stability from day one.
Optimization & Future-Proofing
Beyond the core upgrade, we delivered cost and performance optimizations by right-sizing Service Monitor threads, minimizing parallel environments, and removing unused components to reduce ETRM upgrade costs. We also modernized CI/CD pipelines and implemented advanced monitoring to improve reliability, visibility, and scalability, driving RightAngle upgrade performance improvements and ensuring a future-ready, modernized ETRM platform.
