“With a focus on transformational improvement, Public Trust committed to implementing a new trust and wealth management system called ‘NAVOne’. Designed to move our business model forward, this new core system project would be supported by both internal and external people and processes.
“Implementing the system required us to recruit a multi-disciplinary team of external project managers to deliver specific components of the program. As the program director, I spent 60 per cent of my time working hands-on with the programme manager and the implementation team.
“Planit was engaged to set up our user acceptance testing (UAT) program with the system’s local integrators. This essentially required two suppliers to collaborate together to deliver our best interests.
“Planit also had to work with our internal team to ensure they were up to speed, and were scripting and testing the right things. I had a lot of involvement with Planit and am very pleased with what they did.
A productive partnership
“Planit is very professional and knows what building and running UAT is all about. They were very focused on meeting their deliverables and strongly supported a proactive, partnership approach.
“Quality was critical to achieving the program’s success, and like us, they are committed to quality. They have a vested interest in our success and proved to be worthy partners."

“Planit’s commitment to ensuring a quality product through UAT was a significant benefit to us. The benefits to using Planit for UAT include:
- Improved customer experience. After six months, we have on-going enhancements and most of our people report seeing the benefits. In 12-18 months, we will see the mid-term, real benefits of improved business and change.
- Increased product quality. Planit’s UAT testing has had a positive impact to our bottom line. We have already experienced a ten per cent growth in revenue in the retail division, which is the main area Planit was involved in.
- Better up-time and optimised app performance. Up-time is often under-appreciated, yet it is critical to ensure seamless services for our retail and corporate customers. Planit ran the performance testing with our ops team and the results were excellent.
“Our commitment to our customers is to provide quality. Planit is on the same page.
“Your suppliers are as only as good as you allow them to be. Planit stepped up to the mark to partner with us with our best interests in mind, so they come recommended.”
