“How do we reduce the risks and costs associated with a implementation a new
system and migrating data?”
Every large business has this same concern. In this current age of “Big Data”, it is
astonishing that the current methods for managing these problems involve
disparate, unconnected, and often manual solutions.
The tracking of tens of thousands of bits of inter-related information necessary to
ensure an on-time, on-budget project implementation is rarely accomplished.
Gaps in communication of these important details inevitably lead to costly data
quality issues & project delays costing companies millions of dollars.

SAP implementation… and it is considered a failure!
London: NHS IT Fiasco costs taxpayers $17 Billion

THE SOLUTION
Validus' patent-pending AMIGO® software is a "game changer" because it simplifies and
reduces the pain and risk associated with managing large projects. AMIGO is the true
integration and socialization of people, process, technology and data throughout an
implementation.
The first module of our software solution is now in beta testing.

BUSINESS MODEL
Powerful Value Chain Management
The implementation efficiencies afforded by our solution allows us to consistently meet customer
demand and prevent cost overruns. These efficiencies create a substantial number of follow on
opportunities with the same customer thereby reducing customer acquisition costs.
Strong Value Proposition
We de-risk the data migration & implementation process by protecting companies from costly
errors and compliance issues. We immediately prove our worth by helping the customer save
money on the usual cost overruns.
Multi-faceted Revenue Model
We generate revenue in three ways:
1) Software Sales of our AMIGO software is forecasted to be the primary revenue stream.
2) Licensing: As our software solution evolves over time, our software will become an indispensable asset
to any organization that employs it.
3) Consulting Services are essential to the successful implementations and data migrations for our clients.
We are already earning revenues doing this.
