Build confidence beyond
reported program status

Large SAP programs rarely run into difficulty overnight. Risk builds through unchallenged design decisions, compressed testing and data that has not been fully reconciled.
Acuiti Labs gives sponsors an independent, evidence-based assessment of program readiness and emerging risks, while there is still time to act.

Completion does not
always mean readiness

Governance can confirm that an activity is complete.
Independent assurance examines whether the outcome is
ready to support what comes next.

Four tests for every critical deliverable:

Purpose

What must it enable, and who
depends on it next?

Evidence

Has it been demonstrated with
realistic scenarios, data and
volumes?

Ownership

Does the business understand and
accept it, or has it simply passed
governance?

Consequence

If it is wrong, what fails, when
and at what cost?

How the review works

Effective optimization begins with diagnosis,
not isolated tuning.

Acuiti Labs works within the delivery and governance methods already in place, including SAP Activate, PMBOK, PRINCE2, MSP, SAFe, Scrum, ITIL and COSO where relevant.
01

Frame

Agree the decision ahead, the risks that matter and the scope of the review. Independence from the delivery partner is confirmed at the outset.

02

Gather evidence

Interview business, IT, finance and the systems integrator, and review designs, configuration, test results, defect logs, data reconciliations and the delivery plan.

03

Assess

Evaluate the program across governance, scope, planning, solution, quality, data, people and change, and commercials.

04

Report

Provide concise ratings, supporting evidence and prioritized actions. Findings are shared with the delivery team before sponsor reporting.

05

Support action

Agree owners and dates for the actions that matter, then return to confirm progress or continue through ongoing assurance where required.

Specialist depth across
the revenue chain

Program assurance requires more than reviewing governance and milestones. It also demands an understanding of how commercial, billing and financial processes connect. 

Acuiti Labs reviewers bring specialist experience across the connected revenue landscape, including: 
This end-to-end perspective helps assess whether the integrated solution can support real business operations, not simply whether individual workstreams have met their milestones.

What that gives leadership

Earlier visibility of
material risk

Surface issues while there is still time to address them without unnecessary disruption.

Stronger steering decision

Base critical decisions on working evidence rather than reported status alone

Greater protection of
program investment

Challenge scope, change requests and partner effort before additional cost becomes embedded.

Confidence beyond go-live

Test whether the design can support scale, new offerings, future upgrades and financial control after launch.

Stronger audit readiness

Assess billing, revenue recognition and financial controls before they become post-production issues.

Independent by design

For independent assurance engagements, the scope is agreed with the sponsor and independence from the delivery partner is confirmed at the outset.
The role of Acuiti Labs is to provide a clear, well-evidenced view of the program. Findings are shared with the delivery team before sponsor reporting so the evidence can be understood and challenged without turning assurance into an adversarial exercise.
Team reviewing program evidence together

What follows depends on
what the review finds

An assurance engagement should leave leadership with clear findings, a decision and prioritized actions, not simply another report.
In many cases, that means closing identified gaps and continuing delivery with greater confidence. Where the review identifies a deeper need, Acuiti Labs can support two separate paths.

When the program needs recovery

If the review identifies serious delivery issues, Program Recovery offers a separate route to diagnose the shortfall, determine what can be retained and define the remediation required.

Explore Program Recovery

When the organization needs deeper
internal capability

Acuiti Labs can embed SAP BRIM and SAP S/4HANA Finance specialists within the client’s Center of Excellence, supporting design authority, partner guidance and structured knowledge transfer.
Engagement can range from a few days each month to full-time roles, giving the organization access to specialist capability without maintaining every role permanently.
This is a separate engagement from independent Program Assurance.
