Does this Sound Familiar?

“We have to run through UAT to ensure IT and the system have given us what we require to do our jobs…”
“I struggle to make time to keep up with my career and training due to the time and effort I now have to spend on IT projects rather than working on my REAL job…”
“Agile Delivery, just means MORE issues MORE TIME and EFFORT and MORE of my team are pulled from their day jobs to support IT projects…”
“It is my business budgets that is funding the resourcing of IT project delivery. I sometimes believe that IT sees my business team as FREE resources…”
“It is my business that has to fund backfills for my team and my management KPI’s that are impacted when my team are under resourced & under performing…”
“Agile Delivery who thought that this was an improvement for the Business ? We had a better service from IT when we were not having to do their jobs as well as ours.”
“I am having to work on a lot more IT projects these days, I did not get into this profession to work in IT?…”
“Doing my day job and supporting IT, YES it always feels like I do two peoples jobs… shame I don’t get paid for both!”
“Agile sprint teams are pulling my business resources into IT project delivery throughout the life-cycle of the project…”
“UAT is painful, we manually execute tests and re-run them again and again for defect fixes for on average 8 weeks per project. Surely there’s a better way and use of our time..?”

Authorise Provides Improved

Improve Collaboration between Business and IT Project Teams

Within business user workshops, teams uses the simple business user Acceptance Framework within Authorised to define and articulate for a given IT change what Acceptance looks like for each business user stakeholder. Traditional IT solutions often alienate non technical users. Authorised enables both business and IT teams access the simple, non technical UI to review and understand the projects acceptance criteria that are mapped to natural language work instructions that automate the execution of the user acceptance activities. Enabling all Agile team members to understand what is being validated and what coverage and business conditions are required for acceptance approval.

Clearly Defined and Actionable User Acceptance Criteria

Authorised uses a robust and proven acceptance & certification framework. Collaborative agile acceptance working sessions provide clear and unambiguous user and stakeholder acceptance criteria. all associated user acceptance criteria work task, processes and reports are mapped to ensure transparency and agreement within the team. Natural Language work instructions are created for each acceptance item, business transaction, task, process and report. Authorised then runs these runs these activities using PinnacleQM’s AI Automation platform on behalf of the business user.

Reduced Business User Effort and Durations to Support IT Change

Authorised reduces user effort by focusing upon collaboration and clarification in definition of acceptance criteria, along with stream lining the user approval and sign-off process with access to runtime video and “Evidence Logs”. AI Automated “Acceptance” using natural language work instruction transactions reduces the effort and duration’s that business users are required to be out of their day jobs, allocated to supporting IT projects, UAT and defect re-testing.

Reduce the Overall Cost of IT Change

Authorised significantly reduces the overall cost of IT projects by reducing the total project duration, along with effort and durations that all IT and business users are allocated in providing project input and acceptance activities for multiple defect cycles, multiple sprints and releases.

Run Time Video Capture of Evidence

Authorised AI automation platform executes all business acceptance transactions and activities. When an acceptance item achieves “approved status”, Authorised executes the run again, capturing real time video evidence and screenshots that are automatically added to the users evidence logs within the Authorised dashboard for sign off and approval.

AI Automated Execution of Business User Acceptance Criteria

AI automation executes the defined and agreed acceptance criteria activities. All acceptance results are captured, defects raised, fixed and transaction run continuously until all the require business user acceptance criteria is met.

“We engaged Pinnacle to delivery the digital business assurance and testing services of the implementation of our new SAP SuccessFactors system. During the testing of this system they automated all the system processes, business processes and interfaces. Our UAT used Pinnacle’s Authorise platform which was really good as it did all the leg work for our team, and provided us with all the video evidence to review. They also ran and validated 100% of payroll coverage for all our employees for 4 months. This is amazing, we went living happy knowing that everything was going to work as it should.”

“I was interested in working with the team at Pinnacle to support us with our new client implementations. Their rigour, frameworks and accelerators helped us to improve our delivery and certainly helped us reduce project durations. The biggest win for our end customers is the improved User Acceptance process using Pinnacle’s Authorise platforms. The clients users get all the confidence and visibility of a formal User Acceptance process but without the significant investment in time and effort. This is a big WIN: WIN for us and our clients.”

Client Delivery Services Director
“As a lending specialist within the banks lending group, we are focused on ensuring we provide and processing all our customers loan requests quickly and accurately. In the new agile world we are required to support a lot IT project changes. Previously we would document all our tests and then technical IT teams would then convert these to automation code. With Authorise we just upload our business application tests that are not technical into the automation tool and it is executed without all the effort and time wasted trying to get IT to understand what we needed testing”.

“We partner with Pinnacle, as they provide us with very senior experienced consultants locally. We also use their very cool AI automation solutions to deliver our client services across the region and industries. We have centralised a team offshore, trained and certified in the AI Automation tools and they have completely removed all our client project backlogs… This is a great win, happier customers and more work being delivered. Thanks Pinnacle…”

“The guys at Pinnacle have cracked it… We used to have large teams testing and always struggling to keep up with managing changes to application and test scripts. With a small team and the platforms the Pinnacle team are continuously running all our tests in daily cycles”. “It is crazy how we can run so much testing and save so much project time!! BIG Thanks, and keep it up, awesome job!!!”

Project Manager
“Lots of our teams here are working on complex technologies and integration projects. However, most of our best team members are not technical in nature. We use Enginuity to automate all our systems, technologies and testing, it is really good. We no long battle with coding errors and constantly needing to change scripts or increase the team size like using our old test automation tools. Pinnacle allows my whole team to automate their testing, and we are able to so much more testing”.

Head of QA and Testing
“I don’t know where to begin, I don’t usually write references for people or companies. I was a little sceptical about what Pinnacle was saying they could offer us at first. However, now I am amazed at how good they are and how easy they are to work with. They get stuff automated, working and robust where the BIG BOYS in the market fail. They have great tech and a great team”.

“We have always struggled to manage change from the business teams within projects and this impacted all our budgets and delivery timelines. Working with Pinnacle has meant that we now have better control over this, we deliver projects quicker, using less project budgets all with much smaller specialist teams. On time and within budget every time, got to love that!“
