Post Go-Live Managed Services for Cloud Apps

The post-go-live reality

You Went Live. Then the Hard Part Started.

On-premise ERPs changed when you chose to change them. Cloud ERPs change on the vendor's schedule — and your business changes on its own. Your managed services model must absorb both, continuously.

Mandatory Updates, Manual Testing

Quarterly vendor updates touch hundreds of config points. Without automation, each cycle demands weeks of manual regression compressed into days.

Knowledge Walks Out the Door

Implementation teams disband at go-live. The why behind every configuration lives in the heads of people who are no longer around.

Training Becomes Fiction

Every config change makes training materials wrong. Users build workarounds and quietly retreat to spreadsheets.

BAU Changes Compound Into Drift

New cost centers, updated thresholds, modified reports — without governance, production silently diverges from its intended design.

Integrations Fail Without Warning

Poorly documented integration mappings mean API changes surface as production breakages, not planning items.

Paid Features Sit Unused

Vendors ship new capabilities every release. But when testing and training are underwater, you pay for innovation you never adopt.

How Opkey Puts You Back in Control

Take Back Control of Your Post-Implementation Operations.

Automated Testing

Regression Testing in Hours, Not Weeks

Every platform update triggers targeted regression testing across your critical business processes. AI agents detect what changed, run only the impacted tests, and surface results — in hours instead of weeks of manual effort.

AI agents auto-detect which tests are impacted by each update
Process mining discovers coverage gaps automatically

Change Intelligence

Know What's at Risk Before It Breaks

Before any update hits production, Opkey's AI agents analyze downstream impact across your specific configurations, processes, integrations, and reports. Release notes are prioritized by impact on your environment.

Self-Updating Training

Training Guides That Never Go Stale

Every configuration change automatically triggers updated training documentation. Role-based guides, in-app walkthroughs, and job aids are generated from actual test executions — always reflecting how the system works today.

Role-based — finance, HR, procurement each see what's relevant

Configuration Governance

Catch Drift Before It Compounds

Every BAU change is tracked, compared, and documented with full audit trails. Compare configurations across environments and migrate selectively. Eliminate the silent risk of undocumented configuration evolution.

The Right Model

Your SI + Opkey. Strategy Meets Automation.

The best managed services model isn't choosing between a partner and a platform. It's using both — so every dollar goes toward work that moves the business forward.

Your SI Focuses On

High-judgment, strategic work that requires deep business context and functional expertise.

Strategic advisory

Process optimization roadmap, feature adoption strategy, organizational change management

Complex configuration

New module rollouts, major process redesigns, custom extensions

Root cause analysis

Complex cross-module issues requiring deep functional expertise

Value realization

Identifying how new vendor capabilities create measurable business impact

Opkey's AI Agents Automate

Repetitive, high-volume work that eats consultant hours without creating strategic value.

Regression testing

Self-healing scripts, auto-triggered every update cycle, completed in hours

Impact analysis

Automated change detection, downstream mapping, prioritized release notes

Training documentation

Self-updating guides, role-based content, in-app walkthroughs

Config governance

Drift detection, environment comparison, audit trails, selective migration

Lower Cost. Higher Value. Full Control.

Your managed services contract shrinks because the bulk of repetitive work is automated. What remains is pure strategic value — better outcomes, higher-margin SI engagements, and a team that finally stops firefighting.

Built for leaders who need control

Why can't my SI handle all of this?

They can handle the strategic work — and they should. But regression testing, documentation updates, and configuration tracking are repetitive, high-volume tasks that consume expensive consultant hours without creating strategic value. Opkey automates that entire layer, so your managed services contract focuses on work that actually moves the business forward.

Does Opkey replace my managed services partner?

No. Opkey complements your SI — it's a force multiplier. The SI brings functional depth, business context, and strategic advisory. Opkey brings AI agents, automation, and a platform that ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Together, you get better outcomes at lower cost than either approach alone.

How does Opkey handle Oracle Fusion quarterly updates?

When Oracle pushes a quarterly update, Opkey's AI agents analyze the release notes against your specific configuration, identify impacted business processes, run targeted regression tests using self-healing scripts, and flag issues — within hours. No more 3–6 week manual testing cycles.

How quickly can we see results?

Most enterprises see measurable impact within their first quarterly update cycle (60–90 days). 30,000+ pre-built test scripts mean you're not starting from scratch — Opkey ships with coverage for standard Oracle, Workday, and Coupa business processes.

What applications does Opkey support?

Opkey supports Oracle Fusion, Workday, Coupa, and Salesforce. The same AI agents — testing, impact analysis, configuration governance, training — work across all supported platforms.

Will my SI welcome this?

Smart SIs welcome it. Opkey handles the repetitive automation work so they can focus on higher-value strategic engagements. We've seen SIs voluntarily recommend Opkey because it lets them deliver better outcomes — and renew contracts — instead of burning goodwill on manual regression cycles.

Is Opkey safe to run on critical production systems?

Opkey is the only CALM platform certified under ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems. Argus, Opkey's domain-specific AI model, never trains on customer data. Full audit trails, role-based access controls, and enterprise-grade security are built in.
