As the name implies, the System Build phase consists of execution by the project team of those
tasks associated with building all the system components. The detailed design established in
the System Design phase is used to govern the build efforts. Deviations from the detailed design
will be managed in order to govern the project scope, timelines and success.

Activities Key Deliverables
Milestones
• System test cases/scripts
• Completed system test

• Training documentation
• Completed acceptance test
• Optimally tuned system
The System Testing & Tuning phase is initiated upon receiving signoff on the components built
during the System Build phase. The testing efforts are conducted first as a formal system test to
ensure operability of all system components collectively. Next acceptance testing is conducted
by a representative user group to ensure satisfactory alignment with the functional and technical
requirements. Finally tuning efforts ensure the optimal system performance.
• Define system test strategy
• Develop system test cases/scripts
• Conduct system test
• Resolve issues identified during system test
• Complete system test subsequent to issue resolution
• Assemble acceptance test team
• Develop acceptance test cases/scripts

Allows organizations to realize immediate cost savings through an
accelerated implementation.
Establishes a budget conscious methodology that deploys Hyperion
Planning’s base functionality (Rapid “NHS Foundation”) to satisfy core
functional requirements.
Promotes the selection, inclusion, and customization of additional
Hyperion Planning functionality through Rapid “Planning Functionality
Blocks”.
Facilitates a phased approach in which knowledge transfer is conducted
whereby clients assume ownership of future project phases; reducing
dependency on external services and associated costs.
Utilizes pre-built, customizable templates (models, forms, reports and
business logic) reducing development cycles and project cost.

Editor's Notes
There are a number of components that are built into our approach to help users increase their understanding of bank products, and the results of their actions:
Driver inputs are easily identified, while showing users the financial results of their actions.
Actual results are always shown in the templates (prior to May in the example above) to help users assess the reasonableness of their forecasts
Each line in the template represents a MEASURE that has unique characteristics. Notice the full year total for:
line 1, Amount new, is a total
line 3, Ending Balance, is an ending value
line 4, Average Balance, is a day-weighted average for the entire year
the last 3 lines (yields), must be recalculated based on the results of 2 other values (e.g. Product Interest Yield = Interest / Average Balance)
This model illustrates the concept that each Balance Sheet product can contain additional items the user controls to increase the overall accuracy of forecasts
Products such as Credit Cards would also require information such as credit lines and percent utilization to show
The total, potential credit exposure of the bank
The actual vs. potential income of the bank (relate this to customers who pay-off their balance each month, thereby paying no interest expense, in contrast to customers who let their balances revolve and therefore generate income for the bank in the form of interest income.
