Independent Verification & Validation
Managing Your Critical System Modernizations
Implementing a complex new information system may be the most diffi cult and risky effort your agency will face in the next decade. The project budget is large, but usually not large enough. Your people are knowledgeable, but busy running critical programs. Your staff has limited experience in the required technologies and in the management of this type of project. Failure is not an option.
Ensuring A Successful Project Outcome
CSG Government Solutions can help. Our team complements your internal project team and your chosen design, development and implementation (DDI) vendor to ensure project success. Most likely, the DDI vendor has previously completed similar projects. Your agency will hold them responsible for delivering on their contractual commitments.
But, in the end, will they deliver a solution that meets your objectives? Will your project team have the experience and capability to ensure that the project will succeed? With all that you have on the line, you must have unbiased advice on the potential risks to the project and to your organization. 
You must be confident in your project team’s plans and risk mitigation strategies. This insight can only come from a knowledgeable, experienced team that is independent of the project team and the implementation vendor.
CSG serves as your “eyes and ears” into the inner workings of the project. Independent of the implementation vendor and the project team, we provide insight into all aspects of the project: requirements management, adherence to the schedule and budget, project governance, technical architectures and organizational changes. Using proven project and quality assurance processes and independent testing methods, we identify major risks and develop effective mitigation strategies. Our mission is to ensure that your technology solution meets your business objectives. When failure is not an option, look to CSG as your experienced IV&V partner.
