PDI GovernForward . Managed governance for Informatica CDGC
The MVP ends. Your governance shouldn’t.
PDI GovernForward keeps your accepted CDGC foundation useful with 8×5 shared-team support and a tested monthly release. $20,000 per year in services fees.
A working catalog is the beginning. Not the operating model.
A scanner changes. A steward moves roles. A definition waits for a decision. The catalog can stay available while its usefulness starts to drift.
An MVP establishes the foundation. GovernForward gives the accepted environment a continuing service lead, a clear change process and a regular path from business request to tested improvement.
Governance should accumulate accepted outcomes – not an unowned backlog.
01 /
Operate
Review scanner health, maintain supported configuration, triage incidents and keep the accepted estate usable. Operational work stays visible in its own backlog.
02 /
Build & test
Turn ready priorities into an agreed monthly release. Design, configuration, positive and negative tests, bounded regression and acceptance evidence belong together.
03 /
Govern
Keep owners, stewards, definitions, decisions and documentation current. Review the operating model and year-one roadmap as the agreed estate grows.
Twelve planning and delivery cycles in the service year. The release brief defines what this month will deliver; readiness and acceptance determine what is complete.
01 · Define
Choose the ready outcome, named owner, dependencies and acceptance criteria.
02 · Build
Configure the selected assets within the agreed monthly scope and change controls.
03 · Test
Validate behavior, permissions and affected assets. Record defects and retest.
04 · Accept
Secure customer approval. Update the runbook, inventory and steward guidance.
Every accepted release leaves evidence: scope record · test record · ownership record · release record
New build and testing are included each service month. The allowance is benchmarked to the scope of Informatica’s 20-PSU CDGC Execution & Implementation item. A jointly prioritized release brief names the actual deliverables; routine incidents do not silently consume that commitment.
Yes. Additions accepted within the pre-agreed year-one growth envelope join the managed inventory without a second support fee. Inventory and scan-workload limits are set before subscription and reviewed before new work is committed.
Does GovernForward replace Informatica support?
No. It is an independent, complementary PDI service for ongoing operation and improvement of your accepted CDGC estate. Your customer-owned software support entitlement remains the route for product defects and vendor-operated SaaS restoration.
Give your MVP a next chapter.
Start with the catalog, the owners and the backlog you already have.
