    To kick things off, you and your project team will establish project governance, review your success goals and metrics, and ensure that your core team gets plugged into the training and documentation they’ll need to be successful.

    With alignment on your business goals, your partner will map configuration and integration plans to support your required business outcomes. Following architecture and design reviews by Coupa Expert Services, your implementation partner will deploy your test system.

  • Validate

    In your test system, your project team will plan and execute User Acceptance Testing to confirm the configuration meets your business needs. This is also when you’ll formalize plans for end user training and plan any cutover activities from legacy systems.

  • Deploy

    With acceptance testing complete, your production system will be deployed and hypercare will begin. At this stage, your end users and suppliers will be actively using the platform and you’ll begin seeing measurable business value for your organization.
