Most engagements hand over a document and move on. Preciq keeps the configuration record open, timestamped and available for as long as the system runs - so what you agreed stays the reference point, for you and your client.
The configuration record stays open and active after sign-off, locked to the original engagement, and available whenever it's needed.
Internal governance reviews, a new partner assessing the current state - the closed project record gives you instant access to exactly what was configured, when, by whom, and with whose approval. Not a document buried in an inbox. A live, timestamped record.
People leave. When a new stakeholder asks why a setting is the way it is, your answer is in the record, complete with the requirement that justified it and who signed it off. Not lost with the previous incumbent.
Over time, systems get tweaked outside any formal process. A new board strategy goes through as approved, and Preciq compares now against how it was: costing changed, a warning switched off, extra licences in use, fewer team members than approved for.
Every year brings new targets, revised policy, changed parameters. Those requirements are captured, matched and taken through exactly the same governed process as the original engagement.
For your practice, this is the difference between a project that ends and a client that renews. Drift checks, annual health checks and governed change cycles are billable, repeatable work - and the consultancy holding the record is the one that gets the call.
Project closed and signed off. Solution and Configuration Map delivered, alongside the applied configuration package where the system supports it. The record stays live, read-only, governed by Preciq.
You and your client revisit the approved design and run a drift check. Deviations are flagged. New requirements that have emerged since go-live are submitted as a new configuration event and taken through the full governed process.
The design reviewed against what actually happened. New stakeholders on-boarded into the audit trail. Renewal terms agreed directly, reflecting the scope of the original engagement.
Business changes handled as governed change cycles. Audit access available on demand. The configuration record current and defensible, for as long as it's needed.
The engagement pays for itself. Continuous Improvement keeps it paying, for every year the system runs.
