“We needed a fully functional and integrated trading and risk management solution to optimize and automate where possible our manual, spreadsheet-based business processes and to improve real-time controls and reporting. Our objective was to deliver a solution that would maximize operational efficiency across the Trading business, while at the same time provide an infrastructure that would minimize and control levels of operational risk. The flexibility and extensibility of the Allegro product allows Bord Gáis Éireann to effectively and efficiently manage our various cross commodity business processes, including those more unique aspects of our operations.”

Setting the pace.

Foundation begins with the Plan Stage. Allegro works with the customer’s project team to confirm the project scope, develop the project work, resource, and communication plans, and initiate the project. The Plan Stage includes:

  • Project Plan. Allegro works with you the customer to confirm the accuracy of the project scope, including the Transaction, Business Process, Data Conversion, Data Configuration, and Software Extension Schedules. We develop a Project Work Plan, a Staffing Plan, and a Communications Plan in conjunction with your project management team.
  • Project Initiation. Allegro and the customer project lead conduct a Project Initiation meeting that includes all project participants. The Allegro and the customer team leads communicate the project objectives, scope, approach, details of the Project Work Plan and the project administrative policies.
  • Plan Stage Completion. To close the Plan Stage, we submit a Stage Completion Notification to the customer project lead to document the mutual agreement of both teams to the completion of the stage.

Solidifying this blueprint from the outset improves the likelihood of customer satisfaction and a successful project. Creating a successful plan helps identify critical inter-dependencies and helps Allegro eliminate any potential bottlenecks.
