Achieve your business objectives rapidly with Foundation

Allegro delivers agile ETRM solutions that enable companies to rapidly meet their targeted business objectives with minimal risk and disruption. The key to this approach is that every effort centers on a single business objective. Focusing on distinct business objectives results in a series of projects where each project impacts a limited number of business processes and customer personnel. These distinct, smaller implementations are more likely to stay on budget and on time. Most importantly, companies see costs that clearly align with benefits.  Allegro’s Foundation Methodology perfectly aligns with agile principles to support rapid implementation and efficient integration of focused projects. With Allegro’s Foundation Implementation Methodology, organizations can deploy only the software needed to meet current objectives, easily expand to meet future requirements, and realize true value soon after the project is launched.

• Plan Stage - 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.
• Translate Stage - During this stage, the customer provides Allegro with their data which Allegro then converts and configures into a standard format. Customers can rely on Allegro’s vast industry expertise and proven methodology to prepare data for upcoming stages.
• Confirm Stage - During the Confirm Stage all in-scope business processes are reviewed with the customer using their data in the Allegro system. Allegro and customer users then determine which extensions will be in project scope to resolve any potential gaps.
• Integrate Stage - This phase consists of addressing any in-scope incremental requirements that were identified during the Confirm Stage to ensure the project business objectives are met.
• Validate Stage - Validate is designed to give the customer the opportunity to formally validate the system. The newly configured and integrated system is used as a guide for formal user acceptance.
• Deploy Stage - During the Deploy Stage end-users of the system are trained, and the final configured system and data is delivered into production. The process provides end-users with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively utilize the software in their role.
• Operate Stage - During the Operate Stage, Allegro provides on site assistance to help customers with questions and to resolve business procedure, data and technical issues. The duration of this on site assistance varies depending on the customer’s requirements. At the conclusion of operation assistance, Allegro provides continued support in accordance with Allegro’s License Support Services Policy.
  
• Manage - Allegro maintains and produces an open project issues log, which identifies any required decisions or actions taken by Allegro, the customer or a third party. Weekly status reports and monthly management meetings allow Allegro and its customer to communicate openly about issues, progress, and expectations.
