Where programmes slip
- Requirements lost in translation
- Operations know where the work really happens: the workarounds, the manual checks, the exceptions. A BRD written in system language rarely captures them.
- Live deals mid-migration
- Open LCs, guarantees with pending claims and amendments in flight have to arrive in the new system intact and reconciled.
- Testing the happy path
- UAT that never runs discrepancies, checker rejections or screening hits finds them after go-live instead.
From requirements to go-live
-
Requirements
How each product really runs today and what it must handle next, agreed and prioritised with operations, product, compliance and IT.
-
Gap analysis
Where the chosen system falls short of how you process LCs, guarantees and collections, found before contracts are signed rather than in UAT.
-
BRDs
Requirements a vendor can build to: products, workflows, checker controls, SWIFT messages such as MT700 and the rules behind them.
-
Configuration
Product, limit, charge and workflow set-up, documented so your team can maintain it after go-live.
-
Data migration
Migration strategy, source-to-target mapping, trial runs and reconciliation, including deals open mid-life on the legacy platform.
-
Testing and go-live
SIT and UAT scenarios written by people who have processed the transactions, covering discrepancies, repairs and exception paths as well as STP, drawn from our reusable trade finance test case library. Then cut-over support.
Why Venzo
-
Operations and system knowledge in one team
Ex-bankers who ran trade operations work beside technologists who have implemented trade finance systems, so requirements, configuration and testing reflect how the work is actually processed.
-
Held to your requirements
We work with the system you have chosen and hold the vendor to your requirements, from requirements to go-live or for the one phase you need: the BRD, the migration or UAT.
