Plan & Organize

While we customize our approach based on your specific needs, the detailed project plan we produce will focus on aligning four elements: functional workstream, technology workstream, change management/communications and program administration. This document becomes the basis for scheduling, resource allocations, budgeting, communication timing, customer outreach and more — and allows us to balance cost, time, risk and value.

Design

Our focus during the design process is twofold: defining what the solution will do for each stage of the implementation and how the solution will work with existing systems, processes and people. We listen closely — so we can elegantly and efficiently solve problems you’ve identified, along with those you may not be thinking about. And, since we’re unconstrained by technology, we can ensure the output — the blueprint of the ultimate solution delivered to you — meets all your needs, even those outside the box.

Build & Test

This is where our technical acumen really gets to shine, as we address application configuration, data prep and cleansing, and solution prototyping prior to embarking on the actual development — the technical/integration build. Once that has been completed, we conduct integration testing and user acceptance testing to ensure the system works as designed.

Deploy & Support

After any issues discovered during testing are addressed, it’s time to go live. Cutover planning takes place to ensure there aren’t any service gaps during the transition and the hypercare period commences. That means we have “all hands on deck” to deal with user and application issues, and address anything else that comes up in real-time. We strongly believe going live is the start, not the end, as we ensure you’re getting the most value from your system.

Is This Your Challenge?

We’re Concerned About Staying On Time and On Budget

That is a common concern when you’re embarking on a complex project that involves a lot of moving pieces. We like to say we offer a right-sized approach — a talented “SWAT team” of highly experienced people who will keep you on track, as opposed to an army of consultants.
