Software Implementation Services
Services : ImplementationNavigating through the implementation of a business solution is both complex and time consuming. Let Aptify help you find the best path for your implementation.
At Aptify, we offer two primary implementation models: FastTrack and Enterprise. Our FastTrack methodology is well suited to mid-sized organizations that require a rapid implementation timeframe and can leverage standard functionality for most needs. In contrast, larger or more complex implementations may require the additional steps included in the Enterprise model which has been used to successfully implement many of the best known organizations in the industry.
Working closely with each client, Aptify is able to tailor the implementation methodology and select the elements from FastTrack and/or Enterprise to suit the project to each environment appropriately.
Project Management
A collaborative and rigorous approach to managing an implementation is critical to all of the project stakeholders. Aptify project management focuses on ensuring effective communication, project focus and appropriate controls are maintained throughout the effort. Aptify project managers team up with client representatives to ensure that the project is running smoothly towards a successful, on-time and on-budget completion.
Business Process Review
An integral aspect of implementing Aptify is to ensure that the business processes that will be managed are the best fit for your organization. Many organizations find themselves in a situation during implementation where current processes are no longer best practices and are in need of change. Aptify professional services team members will guide you through the business process review and ensure that you are taking advantage of the best-practices available within the standard product.
Data Conversion
Accurately converting business information from one or more legacy environments is required in most system implementations. Aptify has performed conversions for customers from many popular commercial software packages, custom systems and a mixture of the above. In performing such conversions, Aptify places an emphasis on data quality, reduction of duplicate data and improving accuracy of validation and frequently teams up with client team members to perform data conversions.
Configuration
One of the greatest strengths of the Aptify platform is its ability to accommodate unique requirements for each client. Whenever configuration needs arise, a client may choose to undertake them internally or to request assistance from Aptify's professional services team. Aptify's team members are able to cost-effectively produce configurations under the most challenging of time constraints.
Integration
Modern information technology environments demand a highly flexible approach to systems integration. Aptify's service oriented system architecture makes it possible to integrate nearly any type of technology system. Some of the most common integration points include collaboration tools, email, financial systems and content management systems. Aptify team members can assist with these types of integration as well as any other unique requirements you may have.
Quality Assurance
A continual focus on quality is ensured through Aptify's methodology. Each stage of the implementation process has quality review checkpoints and processes to ensure appropriate levels of review on both the client and Aptify side. QA is critical throughout the project and is not solely focused on at the latter stages of a project. Aptify is able to help its clients ensure solution quality by keeping sights set on quality metrics throughout the engagement.
User Training
Technology systems that are not understood by their intended users will not meet their objectives. It is critical to invest the time and resources initially and over time to maximize user understanding of the solution. While Aptify's product is intuitive and friendly to most users, it is still necessary to formalize the training process so that each end user has a high degree of confidence before going live.
