Transition Planning and Execution:Making the change while mitigating risk

What is it?

Few events in the lifecycle of a contract carry as much performance, technical, and cost risk as the Transition from an incumbent to a successor service provider.  Challenges abound, from the departure of key employees of the departing incumbent, to loss of valuable intellectual property, knowledge, and even passwords, to security risks associated with key technical vulnerability information.  All of these risks must be proactively managed while preparing for the presence of multiple service providers working side by side under potentially difficult circumstances.  Our Transition Planning and Execution solution supports a comprehensive transition planning and execute process which encompasses all aspects of transition including Contract Baselining, Schedule Management, Risk Management, Communications and Training, Technical Oversight, Security Management, Knowledge Transfer, Process Alignment, and Outgoing, Incoming and 3rd Party Contractor Management.
