Independent ERP programme assurance

Status reporting is not proof. Evidence it.

Evidentic tests what is really happening beneath ERP programme status reports — and identifies the conditions, interactions and emerging patterns that matter most.

A structured, proprietary assurance methodology combining evidence validation, cross-domain analysis and expert judgement.

Built from 25+ years of ERP programme delivery and assurance experience.

The problem

Your programme can be green and still be in trouble.

Traditional programme reporting is very good at telling executives what the programme currently believes about itself. That isn't the same as assurance.

01Critical decisions remain unresolved
02Business ownership is weak
03Plans are structurally unrealistic
04Evidence is incomplete
05The client is dependent on its SI to fill roles it should own
Evidentic is designed to find those conditions before they become outcomes.
From status reporting to diagnosis

Evidentic tests the story the programme is telling.

01
StatusWhat does the programme say?
02
EvidenceWhat can actually be demonstrated?
03
DependenciesWhat else relies upon it being true?
04
PatternsWhat combinations of conditions are emerging?
05
DiagnosisWhat happens if nothing changes?
The Evidentic Score

One programme. One independent view.

The Evidentic Score provides an executive-level measure of programme health, supported by diagnostic analysis beneath it.

But the score isn't the diagnosis. A condition that appears manageable in isolation can become critical when it interacts with problems elsewhere in the programme.

Why patterns matter

ERP programmes rarely fail because one thing is red.

They fail because problems interact.

Evidentic Pulse

Take your programme's pulse.

A 30-question executive diagnostic designed to identify potential warning signals in an ERP programme.

It won't perform an independent assurance review. It will tell you whether there are reasons to look deeper.

Pulse combines health, evidence visibility and interaction signals rather than returning a simple questionnaire percentage.

Evidentic Independent Assurance

When you need evidence, not reassurance.

The full methodology combines structured programme analysis, documentary evidence, stakeholder interviews and expert review to establish:

What is genuinely healthy.What isn't.Why.What the consequences are.What management should do next.

Client capability vacuum

Critical client-side delivery responsibilities are being performed or implicitly owned by the SI.

Why Evidentic exists

Built from the realities of ERP delivery.

Evidentic was developed by Anthony Riches, an independent ERP programme director and assurance specialist with more than 25 years' experience of ERP programme delivery, including 14 years directing programmes from the systems-integrator side.

It is designed from experience of both how ERP programmes are supposed to work — and how they actually go wrong.

How healthy is your ERP programme — really?
