Question 1

Do we need clean data before starting an AI project?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. We conduct a data readiness assessment first and can help remediate data quality issues as part of the engagement.

Question 2

How is your AI different from off-the-shelf tools?

Accepted Answer

We build purpose-specific models trained on your data, not generic tools. This means higher accuracy, better explainability, and tighter alignment to your operational context.

Question 3

Can your AI solutions integrate with our existing ERP or CRM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our models are designed to integrate seamlessly with platforms like Salesforce, Workday, PeopleSoft, ServiceNow, and more.

Question 4

How do you ensure AI outputs are explainable and auditable?

Accepted Answer

Explainability and audit trails are built into every model we deliver, critical for regulated environments in higher education, finance, and government.

Question 5

How do you manage data migration during an ERP implementation?

Accepted Answer

We use structured data mapping, cleansing, and validation protocols with parallel-run testing to ensure zero data loss and business continuity throughout.

Question 6

Can you integrate Boomi with our existing Salesforce and PeopleSoft environment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Boomi integration between Salesforce and PeopleSoft is one of our most common implementation patterns and we have proven templates to accelerate delivery.

Question 7

How long does a typical ERP modernization take?

Accepted Answer

Scope-dependent, but most engagements range from 6–18 months. We establish a phased roadmap to deliver value early and reduce overall project risk.

Question 8

Do you provide post-go-live support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer managed support and optimization services post-implementation, including SLA-backed helpdesk, enhancement releases, and performance monitoring.

Question 9

How long does a typical cloud migration take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by complexity, but most migrations are delivered in 3–9 months using our phased approach. We establish a detailed roadmap in the assessment phase so you know exactly what to expect.

Question 10

Do you support multi-cloud environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We architect and manage environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP including hybrid and multi-cloud configurations tailored to your security and compliance requirements.

Question 11

How do you handle data security during migration?

Accepted Answer

We apply encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and audit logging throughout every migration aligned to institutional and regulatory standards.

Question 12

Can you work with our existing IT team?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We embed alongside your internal teams and transfer knowledge throughout the engagement so your team is fully equipped post-delivery.

Question 13

What's the difference between a CMS and an ECM platform?

Accepted Answer

A Content Management System (CMS) like Drupal or WordPress is built to publish and manage web content for external audiences, pages, campaigns, and digital experiences. An Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform like Hyland OnBase governs the full lifecycle of internal business documents: capture, workflow, retention, compliance, and integration with core systems. Most enterprises need both, and we implement them as complementary layers, not competing stacks.

Question 14

Can you migrate our existing content into Hyland OnBase without losing metadata?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use structured migration frameworks that preserve all metadata, version history, and folder structures throughout the transition.

Question 15

How do you handle compliance requirements like FERPA or HIPAA?

Accepted Answer

Compliance is designed in from the start, including role-based access, retention policies, audit trails, and encryption aligned to the applicable regulatory framework.

Question 16

Can Adobe Experience Manager integrate with our existing CRM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AEM integrates natively with Salesforce and ServiceNow, and we have delivered these integrations across higher education and financial services environments.

Question 17

What is WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

WCAG AA is the internationally recognized standard for digital accessibility. Meeting it is increasingly required by law under the ADA and Section 508, failure exposes organizations to significant legal and reputational risk.

Question 18

How quickly can Connectivo AI remediate our website?

Accepted Answer

Most websites see significant remediation within days of deployment. Our AI handles the majority of issues automatically, with expert review completing complex cases within the agreed SLA.

Question 19

Does remediation require changes to our source code?

Accepted Answer

No. Compliant versions of your pages are served through a secure proxy layer, your source code remains untouched while users receive a fully accessible experience.

Question 20

How do you handle accessibility for ERP and intranet systems?

Accepted Answer

Our platform is designed to scale across multiple system types, including ERP interfaces, portals, intranets, and native applications, not just public websites.

Question 21

What is the difference between IV&V and internal QA?

Accepted Answer

Internal QA is performed by the delivery team and is inherently subject to project pressures. IV&V is conducted by a completely independent party with no stake in the delivery outcome, providing objective assurance that internal teams cannot provide for themselves.

Question 22

At what stage of a program should IV&V begin?

Accepted Answer

IV&V should begin at the Software Requirements Document (SRD) stage during the Requirement Review, the earliest checkpoint in the verification process, before Preliminary Design Review. Engaging this early lets us catch requirement-testability issues and missing/incomplete information before they flow downstream into design and code, significantly reducing rework and certification risk later in the program.

Question 23

Do you support DO-178C DAL A through DAL E programs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have experience across all Design Assurance Levels and can tailor our IV&V approach to the specific rigor required by your program's safety classification.

Question 24

Can Sparient support our certification submission to the FAA or EASA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We help structure and review your engineering evidence packages to ensure they are audit-ready and aligned to the applicable regulatory authority's expectations.

Question 25

How do you ensure zero data loss during a Microsoft 365 migration?

Accepted Answer

We use structured pre-migration audits, incremental sync protocols, and post-migration validation to guarantee complete data integrity throughout the transition.

Question 26

Can you support a hybrid on-premise and cloud environment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We architect and manage hybrid environments that balance cloud flexibility with the security and compliance requirements of on-premise infrastructure.

Question 27

What SLAs do you offer for helpdesk and infrastructure support?

Accepted Answer

SLAs are tailored to your environment, typically ranging from 15 minutes for critical issues to 4 hours for standard requests, with full reporting transparency.

Question 28

How do you handle identity and access management for a large university or government agency?

Accepted Answer

We implement automated provisioning and deprovisioning workflows with role-based access controls integrated with your HR or student information systems.

Question 29

What makes MaaS different from hiring a marketing agency?

Accepted Answer

A traditional agency typically handles one or two channels. Our MaaS model provides the full operational capacity of a mature marketing department, brand, demand generation, content, automation, events, and retention, under a single, coordinated strategy.

Question 30

How quickly can we expect to see pipeline results?

Accepted Answer

Demand generation campaigns typically show early traction within 60–90 days. Brand and content programs compound over 6–12 months, building sustainable organic pipeline that reduces dependence on paid channels.

Question 31

Do you work with organizations that already have an internal marketing team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We frequently operate as an extension of an existing team, filling capability gaps, accelerating execution, and providing strategic direction without displacing internal resources.

Question 32

How do you measure and report on marketing performance?

Accepted Answer

We establish KPIs at the outset covering pipeline contribution, cost per acquisition, content engagement, and retention metrics, and provide transparent monthly reporting tied directly to business outcomes.
