Aptly's implementation partners lead enterprise authority programmes end to end: framework design, controls remediation, organizational change, and multi-region rollout, with Aptly as the system of record underneath. Certified, and reviewed against the same methodology Aptly delivers to.
Aptly's partners are consulting, advisory and systems-integration firms with existing governance practices. The work below is theirs, and it is what turns a platform deployment into a governed authority programme.
Designing or redesigning the delegation framework itself: reserved matters, threshold ladders calibrated to risk appetite, decision taxonomy, segregation of duties, and the board and committee ratification that makes it binding.
SOX and ICFR remediation, closing internal-audit findings on authorization controls, control design and testing, and readiness for regulatory regimes including the UK Corporate Governance Code and the EU AI Act.
Organizational rollout, stakeholder alignment across Finance, Legal, Risk and Technology, communication programmes, and training beyond platform enablement.
ERP, procurement, contract, ITSM and identity integration beyond Aptly's standard connectors, and custom work against the Aptly API.
Multi-jurisdiction deployment, local-language delivery, and ongoing administration of the authority framework as a managed service.
The difference between these is who delivers, who invoices you, and who owns the relationship. All three are real and all three are in use.
Partner-delivered implementations follow the same five phases, the same stage gates and the same sign-off requirements as Aptly-delivered ones. Certification is how that holds, and review is how it is verified.
Consultants complete the Aptly certification curriculum covering the authority model, data conversion and reconciliation, configuration, and integration, and work in a dedicated partner sandbox before delivering client work. Certification is held by named individuals, not only by firms.
Partners receive a dedicated sandbox, demo scripts, solution-architect time, role-based enablement tracks and co-branded collateral before their first joint pursuit.
Aptly reviews partner-led implementations against its own methodology, including the reconciliation of your converted matrix against its source and your written sign-off before it becomes live authority. Certification sets the standard; the review confirms it was met on your engagement.
Aptly's partners are consulting, advisory and systems-integration firms operating across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific and Latin America, including firms working multi-nationally. Partners are matched to your engagement by region and by the work you need led, so the fastest route is to tell us your scope.
Enterprise programme delivery, ERP and identity integration, multi-region rollout.
Controls remediation, SOX and ICFR readiness, audit-finding closure.
Framework design, board and committee ratification support, entity and signatory governance.
Local-language delivery, jurisdiction-specific regulatory work, in-market change management.
We will either introduce you to a partner in your region, certify a firm you already work with, or deliver the implementation directly. All three are normal, and which one fits is usually clear within a single call.

Configuration and integration
Aptly is accountable for the authority layer: modelling your framework or standing up a baseline where none exists, converting and reconciling your authority data, configuring and connecting the platform, and reviewing the live framework against your policy. Partners are accountable for the programme around it: designing the framework and calibrating it to your risk appetite, remediating controls, managing the organizational change, and carrying the governance advisory over the years that follow.
On a partner-led engagement, Aptly's team works inside the partner's project team, supplying platform-scoped expertise, and reviews the delivery against Aptly's methodology. As a partner's Aptly practice matures, that involvement reduces. What does not change is the methodology, the stage gates, or your sign-off before a converted matrix becomes live authority.
Authority governance is an emerging practice area without an entrenched incumbent platform. The work is multi-stakeholder, multi-year and high-touch, and the economics favour the firm that leads the engagement.
DOA design and redesign, signatory governance, change management at every organizational event, ongoing audit-cycle support, and agentic authority practice build-out.
Authority touches Finance, Legal, Risk and Technology, and rolls up to the board. Multi-office sponsorship inside a single account.
DOA failure surfaces at quarter close, at deal signing, at audit, and at agentic AI scoping. Enter through whichever office is on fire.
On a typical engagement the consulting scope is substantially larger than the platform scope, across framework design, integration, change management and ongoing advisory. We will walk you through the engagement economics on a partner introduction call.

Multi-entity corporations with complex approval structures across several legal entities or jurisdictions, and financial-management firms with substantial assets under management. The strongest signals are conditions already present in the account: audit findings on DOA, recent M&A, multi-entity or multi-jurisdiction structure, SOX readiness work, UK Corporate Governance Code or EU AI Act preparation, agentic AI governance scoping, or a cloud ERP migration.
