TRIMSPAN

Cut the span, not the corners.

Trimspan is an AI-enabled set of applications that works every phase of an ERP implementation, from preparation to hypercare, to trim the work of managing the documentation and governance of running it. We cut the implementation span, not the corners.

Why programs run long

The work around the build is where the time goes

ERP projects run long because the work around the build runs long: writing requirements, tracing them to tests, chasing test evidence, reconciling migrated data, planning the cutover and proving at the end that the system is safe to turn on. Trimspan automates that work and runs it for you, inside your own Jira and Confluence, so the program moves faster because the governance stops being manual, not because steps get skipped.

Status decks, retired

Requirements, test coverage, migration counts and readiness are read live from your own records, not from a spreadsheet that was out of date the day it was sent.

Go-live, on evidence

Every gate is scored against criteria you agree in advance, with the evidence and the owner of every open item on one page.

Nothing new to learn

It runs in the Jira and Confluence you already have, operated by us, across all seven phases of the implementation.

Seven phases

What Trimspan does in each phase

01

Project Prep

Stand the program up: its plan in Jira, who can reach it, and where its documents live.

  • The program plan, milestones and backlog created in your Jira from one template, and re-baselined without losing the old dates
  • Access to the project and the home of every document set up, previewed before anything changes
02

Discovery

Capture every requirement and how well the standard system fits it.

  • Requirements drafted from your ERP vendor's documentation and your own documents, each quoting the passage it came from
  • Every requirement classified against the standard system: full fit, partial fit, gap or conditional fit
03

Design

Make each requirement buildable: test-ready, estimated and specified.

  • Thin requirements made test-ready and estimated; a person accepts every change
  • Functional and technical specifications written from the register, so they cannot drift from it
04

Build, Configure & Integrate

Record every interface and watch the integrations run, up to the decision to start system testing.

  • One record of every interface, with its field mapping and the payloads it actually sends
  • Integrations watched for failures, retries and the workflow that quietly stopped running

Ends with the Entry to System Test decision, scored on evidence.

05

Testing, Migration & UAT

Prove test coverage and results, move the data and reconcile it, up to the decision to start cutover.

  • Test cases built from the requirements, with coverage you can trace and gaps found before go-live
  • Every migrated object proved three ways: record count, control total and the state it loaded in
  • Job aids and quick-reference cards drafted for each role from the requirements

Ends with the Entry to Cutover decision, scored on evidence.

06

Cutover

Run the cutover to its critical path and make the go-live call.

  • The runbook sequenced to its critical path, rehearsed, with every step's owner and predecessor
  • Go-live decided on a scorecard bound to evidence, not on how the room feels

Ends with the Go-Live decision, scored on evidence.

07

Hyper Care

Triage incidents against their targets until the exit criteria are met.

  • Every incident timed against its service-level target on a working calendar
  • Hypercare ends when the exit criteria are measured as met

Across every phase: one risk, assumption, issue and decision log; meeting minutes turned into actions and decisions, each quoting what was said; and a daily digest of every change in Jira.

What runs behind the console

One page for you. A full crew underneath.

Behind the console, purpose-built tools do the work nobody should do by hand: reading every ticket, tracing every requirement to its test, timing every incident, reconciling every migrated record and scoring every gate. Your team sees one page per phase, with nothing new to learn.

What a first week finds
On a live NetSuite Order-to-Cash program, a read of 754 Jira tickets found 277 requirements, 195 test cases written and none yet run, and 12 business decisions open with none closed. None of it was visible on one page until it was counted.

That is what a Program Health Check surfaces in its first week. On that program, with the AI-enabled tooling now called TrimSpan℠: from zero to more than 6,000 requirements across 11 functional areas identified and properly scoped, with the execution work documented, in less than two months. Read the case study.

After go-live

Value Assurance, in three tiers

The implementation is sold; Value Assurance keeps it paying back as releases arrive, people move on and the business changes.

TierWhat it does
Tier 0 - included at handoverRegisters transferred to your tenant, and the configuration and business-case baselines captured at go-live
Tier 1 - SustainRelease readiness before every forced upgrade, configuration drift, integration health and service-level continuity
Tier 2 - OptimizeBenefits tracked against the baseline, change control traced and tested, key user certification and a quarterly business review

Sustain and Optimize are priced annually from your engagement rate and the hours agreed at the end of the demonstration.

How it runs

Your records, our tooling

In your Jira and Confluence, or on ours if you have none: $500 a month for up to five users, plus $75 a month for each additional user, covering the subscriptions and all management of the work and documentation in them.

You own the outputs and your data; LDO Consulting owns the tooling. Credentials are held in Windows Credential Manager on an encrypted laptop, never in a file, and at the end of the engagement your project folder is handed over to you and deleted from our network.

Any ERP. Trimspan measures the implementation, not the system it runs on.
