Metro is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide Independent Verification and Validation oversight services for its Workday enterprise resource planning implementation. The selected contractor will deliver objective, advisory-level oversight across all project phases, including design, build, testing, go-live, and stabilization. The goal is to ensure delivery health, validate milestone readiness, and identify risks while maintaining independence from implementation activities. The contractor will review system integrator deliverables, assess governance and schedule integrity, monitor high-risk functional areas such as payroll and finance, and provide executive-level reporting. Services include ongoing risk assessment, validation of testing and data migration readiness, and structured escalation of issues. The engagement spans from pre-build planning through post-go-live stabilization, supporting Metro leadership in making informed decisions and ensuring successful system implementation outcomes.
