Matching Dollars to Sense
Vesta Corp.
Vesta Corporation, the nation's leader in the world of virtual
payment and fraud solutions, has achieved extraordinary growth
and has been repeatedly ranked as one of America's fastest-growing
private technology companies by Inc., Fast Company, and Deloitte
Touche.
Vesta forecasted continued substantial growth that could likely not be
supported by its loosely integrated legacy systems. They wanted
to build a foundation that would help them grow smartly and efficiently,
not out of control in a hiring frenzy.
Vesta turned to ACME to lead them through selection
and implementation of a Tier 1 finance and human resource software solution.
Step one: selection.
ACME identified key processes and technical requirements,
developed must-have criteria, defined key requirements, performed vendor
analysis for fit, facilitated workshops that narrowed the playing field
(streamlining the process for the Vesta team significantly), coordinated
vendor demos, performed a gap analysis, and facilitated selection workshops.
ACME's QA role on this phase was to monitor project direction and ensure
fulfillment of overall project benefits and business drivers.
Step two: implementation.
ACME managed the full project lifecycle including
planning and start-up, requirements definition, current state and to-be
process design, system configuration, system testing, end-user training,
system rollout, and ongoing monitoring activities. Throughout the project,
ACME was responsible for ensuring quality, simultaneously monitoring key
project activities, proactively communicating project issues and risks,
driving issue resolution, and managing a diverse client personnel team comprised
of accounting, data management and technical personnel.
Step three: celebration
The team attained project milestones on time and under budget,
achieving successful software selection and implementation of a Tier 1
finance package in five short months.
