Nature's Pride
Testing is often squeezed between late development and a fixed go-live date.
There is no time left to fix what is found, so known defects go live.
Without independent test management, nobody checks whether the business processes actually work end to end.
UAT becomes a formality instead of the moment the business confirms it is ready.
On SAP and Microsoft Dynamics programmes, greenfield or brownfield, on-site or remote.
| Phase | What is tested | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Unit test | Single configuration items and developments | Integrator |
| System integration test | End-to-end processes across modules and interfaces | Integrator and key users |
| User acceptance test | Whether the business can work with the system | Key users, led by your business |
| Regression test | That fixes and changes did not break what worked | Test team, often automated |
Independent test management makes sure each phase has clear entry and exit criteria, so the go/no-go is based on facts.
We represent your business during the transformation. We combine business and technical knowledge, so we can challenge your integrator on what is actually necessary.
Testing that proves your business processes work end to end.
A risk-based test scope agreed with the business.
End-to-end scenarios built from your real business processes.
Test cycles, defect management and clear progress reporting.
User acceptance, sign-off and facts for the go/no-go.
Three ways to engage, depending on where your programme stands.
An Optinus programme, project or workstream manager joins your organisation for the duration of the programme.
Best for: Programmes that need senior leadership on the business side.
We take ownership of a defined workstream, such as data migration, testing or cutover, with clear deliverables.
Best for: Specialist workstreams that need full focus.
A short, fixed-scope review of your programme or your readiness, with clear findings and recommendations.
Best for: An independent view before you make the next decision.
Saint-GobainManufacturing & construction
Saint-Gobain harmonised and standardised its European processes on SAP S/4HANA. As independent cutover lead, Optinus aligned the teams, challenged every deviation and created one clear narrative for go-live.
“Everyone wants standard, until it gets personal.”
Saint-Gobain programme reflection
Aertssen GroupLogistics & infrastructure
Aertssen started an ERP modernisation to connect finance, HR and operations. An Optinus senior project manager restructured decision-making, introduced a business case for every deviation and moved the focus from silos to end-to-end processes.
Nature's PrideAgriculture & fresh produce
Nature's Pride outgrew Navision. Optinus designed and leads the HORIZON programme in five phases, with a 360-degree view on people, process, data and technology: standardise first, flexible only where Nature's Pride is unique.
“Our flexibility is our strength. HORIZON makes it organised instead of person-dependent.”
