Discover and define
Inventory the current applications, data sources, permissions, integrations, and workflows. Identify the business decision the system must support and the constraints it must respect. The first output is an agreed scope with dependencies, acceptance checks, and a clear boundary around any migration or automation work being considered.
PlatformBuild and verify
Provision the agreed environment, configure restricted access, and implement the smallest complete workflow. Check successful processing alongside duplicate inputs, missing data, expired credentials, and recoverable failures. Production readiness requires useful errors and operational visibility. Any external side effects should follow the approval and execution rules established for the engagement.
Review data governanceRelease and hand over
Document deployment steps, configuration ownership, recurring costs, maintenance responsibilities, and recovery procedures. Confirm the deliverables against the scope before expanding access. Source licensing, intellectual-property rights, hosting accounts, and support periods belong in the written agreement; a handover does not automatically eliminate cloud bills, vendor dependencies, or the need for ongoing upkeep.
