Systems Deployment Process of KPMG
The systems deployment process at KPMG has been a dedicated technique through which
the company makes as well as delivers technological solutions for helping several organizations.
The process of systems deployment has been designed to assuring the technology is sufficiently
carried within with not so much of disruptions at the operations level (Tengilimoglu, Carsten &
Wadud, 2023). The process initiates with assessing the company’s technological environment at
its current level. This assessment works for identifying potential threats or risks in KPMG that
might be encountered while the process of deployment. Once the initial level assessment gets
finished, KPMG starts working for the company or organization for developing a detailed
deployment plan where this plan or process maps project resources, objectives and timeline
The KPMG deals with the organization for developing the architecture solutions as well
as designing and developing necessary hardware and software sections and components (Ahmad
et al., 2022). It includes necessary software designing and hardware development specifications
and technology validation as well as testing. Once the architecture is selected or final, KPMG
cooperates with the organization or company for installing the important components including
network, software and hardware configuration to assuring the technology integration has been
done properly and it’s properly suiting the existing systems of the organization. The company
KPMG also deals with giving the facility of maintenance once the technology gets installed
including ongoing training as well as ongoing support to assuring the technology is secure and
performance as well as technology usage for ensuring the developed technology has met the
organizational expectations and requirements. The systems deployment process of the KGMP
company has been designed for ensuring smooth and efficient deployment and with proper
maintenance and monitoring facilities for ensuring this meets the needs of the organization. It
helps in maximizing the ROI (Return on Investment) of technology with cost reduction as well
as performance improvement.
KPMG has a term called SAM (Software Asset Management) and the company tries its
model of the software life cycle to cover every stage the software runs through in any
organization or company. The IBM Deployment Quick Scan could serve as part of SAM in the
company. Firstly, the company KPMG already has 6 stages of the software life cycle of which 3
are used and deal with the systems deployment process (De Cremer & Moerman, 2018). The 6
steps are Planning, Acquisition, Setup, Usage, management and support, Optimization and
Retirement/renewal in which the last 3 steps are what the systems deployment process is based
on (De Cremer & Moerman, 2018). These all processes can be defined below:
Planning: A detailed assessment of the specific requirements of the company regarding the
software functionalities.
Acquisition: This includes the software procurement process as well as supplier and contract
management. The software purchase in relation to the hardware needs will take place as well
Setup: By being authorized, the software becomes available to the right locations in the right
people.
Usage, management and support: The software supervision gets achieved here without or
with the tools being used and the availability of periodical reports for the software usage
Optimization: With the consideration of several factors, supply and demand synchronization
in the organization will be achieved. The processes of SAM have been designed as well as
implemented effectively in usage times and the organization to maintain its licensing
organization every when possible. Also, a procedure for retirement will be in place for
