When it comes to implementing a business-critical software solution, the required steps go well beyond running through installation instructions and rebooting hardware.

  • Is the appropriate hardware in place to run the new system?
  • How will the new software application affect current business processes?
  • Will it integrate with existing software systems?
  • Is the appropriate infrastructure in place?
  • What training needs will there be?





















Implementation Services

LIQUENT'S IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH THAT BEGINS BY ASSESSING CURRENT PROCESSES AND THEN PLANS THE APPROPRIATE ROADMAP TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL, EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION:

  • Planning the Project
  • Overall scope for an implementation project is developed during this phase.
  • LIQUENT/client team is formed, roles/responsibilities are determined, and project management standards are established.
  • Implementation workshop is held with the team.
  • Once the project plan is produced, both project and executive review sessions occur.

DEVELOPING AN EDUCATION PROGRAM

  • Education program ensures that your organization moves smoothly from system implementation to productive use.
  • A training needs analysis is built into every implementation.
  • After the assessment, an education program is developed using our wide range of training options.

ANALYZING THE BUSINESS AND TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT

  • Assessing the publishing environment from both a business and technical perspective is part of the Analysis phase.
  • LIQUENT consultants examine numerous factors to achieve a detailed understanding, including current business processes, impact analysis, business requirement mapping, gap analysis, source document assessment, and technical and infrastructure analysis.

BUILDING A WORKING MODEL OF THE IMPLEMENTATION

  • A model or prototype of the planned implementation is built based on the output during the Analysis phase.
  • The prototype defines and refines the publishing standards and process flows for the software system.

CONFIRMING THE PROTOTYPE

  • To confirm the accuracy of the prototype, the implementation team uses the prototype model for a "trial run" of the end-to-end publication process.
  • Acceptance tests are completed and any revisions to the process or infrastructure are made.

DEPLOYMENT

  • Once the prototype is confirmed, the system is deployed.
  • Part of moving into productive use includes migrating data and reviewing the user education program, as well as internal validation and logging of any outstanding issues.
