You make the go-live decision. We help you make it with confidence.
Senior SAP professionals independently review your programme evidence, test coverage and business-critical processes — giving leadership a clearer view of readiness, gaps and actions before go-live.
We don’t retest your SAP programme. We test the confidence behind it.
We review the evidence your programme has already produced, and examine whether the business-critical requirements, processes and risks are adequately represented in the testing and readiness picture.
- Programme scope
- Critical processes
- Key changes
- Requirements & FS
- Test assets
- Execution evidence
- Business requirement
- Test scenario
- Evidence
- Missing coverage
- Weak evidence
- Open exposure
- Readiness view
- Priority gaps
- Recommended actions
The objective is simple: determine whether the reported testing picture is supported by sufficient evidence for the business-critical areas in scope.
Senior SAP people, reviewing the programme with your teams.
Four activities, run alongside the people already doing the work.
Document review
We review the programme artefacts agreed in the charter — not every document in the programme.
Business discussions
We meet selected process owners, functional leads, testing leads and programme stakeholders.
Coverage & traceability
We trace selected business-critical requirements and processes end to end — requirement, design or FS, test scenario, test evidence — and look for where that chain is incomplete, unclear or insufficiently evidenced.
Quality challenge
We raise the areas that appear to warrant attention, and we do it with the teams rather than about them.
Broad enough to see the programme. Deep where it matters.
A large SAP programme can carry a dozen modules and hundreds of documents. Treating all of it identically would be neither useful nor honest.
Breadth
Establish visibility across the agreed programme scope.
- Modules
- Processes
- Integrations
- Testing
- Defects
- Readiness evidence
Depth
Go deeper where the exposure is greater.
- Business-critical processes
- Major changes
- Complex integrations
- High-risk areas
- Weak traceability
- Insufficient evidence
Assessment scope and depth are agreed upfront, based on programme size, criticality, the evidence available and the decisions you need to make.
First, we agree what we are assessing.
Assessment charter
The charter sets out the agreed scope, the priority business processes, the programme evidence available to us, the deep-dive areas, the exclusions, the stakeholders we will need and the outputs you will receive.
Nothing starts until it is signed off. It is also the document that keeps the assessment from quietly growing.
An executive view, backed by evidence.
One pack, not ten reports. Written to be read by the people making the decision.
280 of 412 in-scope processes evidenced.
Below targetRepresentative data available per scenario.
At riskOne full cycle, as the programme runs it today.
Needs attentionAgeing beyond the agreed threshold.
Needs attentionSAP Go-Live Assurance Pack
Five componentsReadiness view
A concise executive perspective on the assessed areas, and where attention is required.
Coverage & traceability
Visibility into whether the selected business-critical requirements and processes are represented in testing.
Gap register
Coverage gaps, weak evidence, unresolved dependencies and other material observations.
Business impact
Why each material finding matters to the programme or to the business process behind it.
Recommended actions
Prioritised actions for consideration before the go-live decision.
Every material finding should have evidence behind it. If we cannot show you where a finding came from, it does not belong in the pack.
From requirement to evidence.
One worked example, so the logic is clear before you ever speak to us.
Purchase orders above the approval threshold require defined approval before release.
Flexible Workflow, against the approval design agreed by the programme.
The standard approval scenario is tested and evidenced.
The exception and alternate approval paths are not evidenced in the test scope we reviewed.
Purchasing could be interrupted, or an approval could behave differently from the agreed design.
Validate the identified variant before go-live.
The purpose is to show how the assessment thinks, not to suggest that every programme carries this issue.
Independent assurance. Not another implementation layer.
Being clear about what we are not is as useful as being clear about what we are.
Rufouss does
- Independent quality assessment
- Business-to-test traceability
- Evidence review
- Coverage challenge
- Risk and gap identification
- Executive readiness reporting
Rufouss does not replace
- Your system integrator
- Your business process owners
- Your project governance
- Formal business sign-off
- Your go/no-go authority
We identify the gaps. You decide how to close them.
The assessment stands on its own. Who addresses the findings remains your decision.
Internal teams address the findings. Some are a week of work for people you already have, and we will say which ones.
Where the gap sits inside the build, the existing system integrator addresses it. We hand over the register and the evidence behind it.
If you ask us to: SAP testing, test automation, specialist talent or GCC capability.
Senior people do the work.
The assessment is led by experienced SAP professionals who understand implementation, testing, business processes and programme delivery — not a junior team working from a generic checklist.
Whoever is assigned to your programme has already run the same conversion, the same upgrade or the same regression cycle five to ten times elsewhere. More on how we work →
Before you approve go-live, know what the evidence says.
