Project Management

We have developed a proven implementation methodology, which can be used to develop a detailed implementation plan for your company. It actually starts before you make your final commitment to work with us, when we are helping you establish the ROI for the project. It kicks into high gear when we assign a project leader, who will work with your project leader/manager throughout the implementation.

Here is an overview of our methodology:

Fit Analysis

During this phase we work with you to understand how you are doing things now. The purpose of the analysis is to determine how we need to configure the system to best meet your needs, and where you can make procedural changes to take better advantage of the tools available in the new system.

This service is available prior to making a full commitment to the project, so you can better understand what you are getting into before making your final decision.

System Configuration & Tailoring

Based on the fit analysis and feedback during the Education & Overview Training, we will work with you to configure the system to best meet your requirements.

Data Entry / Conversion

Master file and open item data can be entered manually into the system or imported from spreadsheet files produced by your current system.

Pilot Testing

During this phase, you will use the system to process a set of transactions (orders) to ensure that the configuration and your entered / converted data will work as planned.

Procedures Modifications

Based on the Fit Analysis and results of the Pilot Testing, you can modify your existing procedure documents to reflect the new ways of doing things.

Hands-on Training

All users who will be using the system will be trained just prior to going live, to ensure that they don't 'lose' what they have learned. The training is done interactively, as a combination of demonstration by the instructor and hands-on practice by the students. We can also do the train-the-trainer approach, where we train someone on your staff, who then trains your users.

Go Live Support

Your project leader and our support people will be at your disposal during the go-live phase of the project to assist you in any way required.
