Two more workshops lined up. One in Oxford and another in Hove, on the "value of validation"

Validation is often seen as a difficult, costly exercise with little or no added value other than "to be compliant". However, a well executed valudation supported by a robust, achievable framework of IT Quality can reduce the costs of IT within a business and deliver enhanced, reliable IT services.

The purpose of these workshops is to help our clients build a business case for validating computer systems, delivering the message "when Validation becomes Value Add"

After successful pre-sales meetings there is often a lot of work to do.

I have recently had a meeting with an existing client and they require additional work to be done, so now its time to create a proposal for the work to be completed.

This document details the deliverables, the requirements from the client, business benefits, constraints, cost, effort, etc.

The client will then hopefully accept this proposal and raise a Purchase Order so that the work can start.

Its my last day at my current client site, so I've been busy making sure all i's have been dotted and t's have been crossed.

An important part of the closure process is the hand-over report. This involves walking designated people through the deliverables produced by CTG, including the location of physical documents, electronic files, etc. so that everything can continue smoothly once I have left. It also involves handing over responsibilities for the various activities I have been managing, such as change control and incident management.
