Audit Methodology for System Reviews


TITAN-Pinnacle uses a Systems Audit methodology called FOCUS. The methodology is a unique TITAN-Pinnacle tool developed using expertise and experience gained over the past 10 years of Hyperion application implementation. It is our belief that a successful systems audit requires a defined, fact-based and repeatable process. Our FOCUS process was developed for this purpose.

The deliverable from our FOCUS process is a written evaluation document highlighting areas of improvement. We will prioritize changes by impact of change and define the cost/benefit ratio. We will also capture both pros and cons of making the change. Finally, we will make recommendations on whether or not the change is necessary or optional. See sample report in Appendix C.

TITAN-Pinnacle understands the issues Financial systems users face, and also the underlying application technology. This helps us communicate effectively with the entire team and help you ensure a successful application deployment.
