FAQ

The program is designed to give you a clear, structured understanding of your current system architecture and its limitations. It identifies where integrations can be simplified, where systems are underused or duplicated, and how your CRM can act as a more effective hub for your operations. The ultimate goal is to provide a roadmap that aligns your technology with your business goals, helping you reduce costs, improve data quality, and scale effectively.

The program is positioned to take six weeks from start to finish. This includes time for onboarding, stakeholder interviews, technical analysis, visual mapping, and final presentation. It’s long enough to go deep into your architecture – but focused enough to maintain momentum and deliver results quickly. This timeframe can be tailored for your specific needs and the complexity of the landscape.

We start by reviewing any documentation or systems information you can share. Then, through a combination of stakeholder workshops, technical analysis, and architecture mapping, we identify inefficiencies, duplication, and risks in your current landscape. You’ll receive a simplified, future-ready architecture and a prioritized roadmap for improving integrations, consolidating tools, and reducing manual processes.

We need your team to give us their time to help us understand their enterprise system needs and pain points. This requires engagement from key business leads, system owners and technology leads and architects. If you do not have individuals identified for these roles, we will guide you to identify personnel that can fill positions and skillsets required.

While the Discovery program focuses on planning, VRP can remain engaged into implementation. We offer architectural oversight, technical guidance, and delivery support through our consultants and managed services teams. Whether you need hands-on developers or ongoing advisory input, we’ll tailor the right level of involvement based on your internal capacity and preferred delivery model.

Business alignment starts from day one. We hold structured workshops with key stakeholders to understand your priorities, pain points, and strategic direction. Throughout the engagement, our recommendations are framed in the context of your goals—whether that’s reducing costs, improving customer experience, increasing automation, or enabling faster decision-making. Every step is grounded in your business needs, not just technical best practices.

Simply complete the contact form or speak to your VRP account lead. We’ll arrange a call to understand your needs and explain the process. If there’s a fit, we’ll propose a tailored plan and timeline to get started – no obligation. Whether you’re ready to move now or still exploring options, we’re here to help you think it through.
