Programme Assurance
Tierpoint's Programme Assurance gives CFOs objective, evidence-based validation of their Microsoft finance transformation, free from SI bias, commercial conflict, or consulting theatre.
The Challenge
Flying Blind
Most CFOs leading Microsoft investments rely solely on their system integrator for progress updates, leaving them exposed to scope creep, budget overruns, and value erosion with no independent view.
How It Works
What Our Assurance Covers
Structured, evidence-led reviews at critical lifecycle stages, combining Microsoft's Success by Design framework with our proprietary Finance Methodology and Process Mining analysis.
1
Success By Design Alignment
We validate programme health against Microsoft's own Success by Design framework at every critical stage gate.
2
Finance Process Mining
Objective analysis of your current and emerging finance processes, replacing assumptions with evidence at key deployment milestones.
3
Stage Gate Reviews
Independent assessment of programme readiness before each phase transition, identifying risks before they become expensive problems.
4
Ex-Big 4 Expertise
Our senior programme directors bring Big 4 consulting pedigree and significant hands-on D365 deployment experience to every engagement.
5
Risk & Issue Escalation
Clear, CFO-ready reporting on programme risks, SI performance, and critical decisions requiring executive intervention.
6
Value Realisation Tracking
Continuous benchmarking of delivered outcomes against your original business case to ensure promised returns remain on trajectory.
