EXPERTISE
Governance, Compliance & Quality Assurance
We secure what determines whether a transformation succeeds: traced requirements, controlled deliverables and verified go-live conditions.
THE PROBLEM
What we see on the ground
- 01
Requirements are not traced
The original need, the specification and the test are not linked. There is no way to demonstrate that a deliverable covers what was asked for.
- 02
Quality arrives at the end of the project
Testing starts when the schedule is already tight. Defects found at that stage cost the most and are settled under pressure.
- 03
Go-live conditions are not defined
Milestones are passed on grounds of expediency. The risk simply moves to production.
- 04
Compliance rests on certificates
A certificate from the vendor or the supplier does not cover the actual configuration, the interfaces or day-to-day practice.
Quality does not start when testing starts. It is built from the scoping stage.
- 01PROBLÈME
A programme whose progress is tracked, but whose conformity with the original need cannot be demonstrated.
- 02INTERVENTION AXENEO
We put in place requirements governance, the quality plan, the test strategy and the quality gates, then control the deliverables against them.
- 03RÉSULTAT
Full traceability from need to test, milestones passed on objective criteria, and a body of evidence that can actually be used — including for an audit.
What we do
Governance
Make decisions and accountabilities explicit.
- IT, programme and project governance
- Functional governance and arbitration of gaps
- Requirements management and traceability
- Responsibility matrix and decision routes
- Project risks, quality gates and go-live conditions
- Acceptance criteria and deliverable reviews
Quality assurance
A setup that prevents rather than reports.
- Quality strategy and project quality plan
- Organising the QA function and its roles
- Specification review and early detection of ambiguity
- Deliverable control and verification milestones
- Defect management: qualification, prioritisation, follow-up
- Quality indicators and reporting
Testing & validation
Test what matters, at the right time, with the right evidence.
- Test strategy and test plan
- Test case design and requirement coverage
- Functional validation and user acceptance testing
- Integration testing and end-to-end testing
- Regression testing and acceptance campaigns
- Test data sets and test environments
Regulatory compliance
Support through to compliance, and through to the certification audit where one applies.
- Analysis of the applicable standard's requirements
- Gap analysis and compliance diagnosis
- Formalising processes and procedures
- Building the documentation and the body of evidence
- Remediation plans and action follow-up
- Audit preparation and support for the teams
How we work
- 01
Scoping
Quality enters the project with the scoping: requirements formalised, testable, prioritised and linked to an identified need.
- 02
Requirements
Every requirement gets an owner, an acceptance criterion and a link to the test that will verify it. Traceability is built as you go, not reconstructed afterwards.
- 03
Quality plan
Roles, expected deliverables, reviews, quality gates and go-live conditions. The setup is sized to what the programme is worth.
- 04
Testing
Test strategy by level, coverage reported against requirements, representative data sets and controlled environments.
- 05
Validation
Functional validation, integration, regression. Gaps are qualified and settled in governance, not absorbed quietly.
- 06
Compliance
Where a standard applies, the body of evidence and the remediation plans are built continuously, through to the audit.
USE CASES
Where we step in
Secure a major programme
Put independent quality assurance on a critical programme: requirements, deliverable reviews and go-live conditions.
Structure ERP acceptance testing
Test strategy, acceptance scripts tied to the processes, regression campaigns and defect management through to go-live.
Prepare for certification
Analyse the standard's requirements, measure the gaps, produce the documentation and the evidence, then prepare the audit.
Make interoperability dependable
Control the conformity of exchanges between organisations: interface requirements, shared test sets and validation of the flows.

Whether the subject is a programme to secure, an acceptance process to structure or a certification to prepare, the first question is the same: what exactly are we committing to, and how do we demonstrate it?
