Change Management

Using Change Controls for a Foundation of Strength

What is Change Management?

Change Management is the process of ensuring that standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient and prompt handling of all changes.

6 Keys to Change

Absolute provides 6 key control points for every change introduced into the production environment:

  1. Business Need - justification for the change
  2. Impact Analysis - including business unit, clients, infrastructure, applications, data and security (no more "Oops - we forgot to tell so-and-so!")
  3. Version Control - systematic code moves with versioning
  4. Test Plan - including testing checklists, documented results and sign-offs
  5. Implementation Plan - step-by-step of activities for production moves, including backout plan
  6. Approval - acceptance of the 6 keys

Positive Change

Aside from regulatory compliance, Change Management brings about many benefits for your organization:

  • Improves quality
  • Minimizes impact of change to day-to-day operations
  • Opens channels of communication, promoting smooth transitions
  • Raises awareness and exposes high incidences of failure
  • Tracks all changes for use in future impact assessments

Foundation of Strength

Here at Team Absolute, we are known for our common-sense approach to IT systems. We understand the spirit behind the letter of the law, and can make these 6 keys work for your organization.

Absolute has found ways to leverage our experience and systems to make these new controls a foundation of strength rather than a stumbling block for efficiency.
