Software
Evaluation
and
Solution
Acceptance
|
Selecting
a
Business
Software
Solution
Provider
is
similar
to
selecting
a
Business
Partner.
You need
a
partner
with a
sound
reputation
and a
proven
track
record,
driven
to
provide
the
right
blend of
technology
and
industry
"best
practices".
We fully
recognize
the
significance
choosing
your
next
business
management
application
will
have on
your
organization.
During
this
phase
our
objectives
are to:
-
Listen
and
learn
about
your
business,
so
we
are
able
to
suggest
the
right
solution
for
your
current
and
long
term
objectives;
-
Provide
you
with
enough
product
awareness
so
that
you
can
successfully
differentiate
the
benefits
of
our
proposed
software
application
compared
to
the
others
under
review;
-
Clearly
explain
our
implementation
methodology;
and
lastly
-
Establish
a
business
relationship
so
that
you
can
confidently
select
Access
IT
as
your
next
business
solution
partner

Requirements
Analysis
and
Project
Planning |
Prior to
beginning
any new
implementation,
Access
IT
performs
a
complete
requirements
analysis
to
determine
each
business
processing
flow
within
your
company.
Our
objective
is to
understand
your
business
from
your
perspective,
then
apply it
to the
software.
During
this
phase
Access
IT will
study
your
major
business
transactional
flows
within
your
organization
as well
as;
-
Identify
any
process
improvements
that
can
be
gained
by
using
the
new
business
software;
-
Recognize
the
“GAPs”
between
functionality
required
by
your
business
and
functionality
available
within
the
proposed
application
software;
-
Define
during
which
project
phase
each
functional
area
will
be
implemented;
-
Define
files
for
data
conversion
and
reporting
requirements;
-
Review
operating
and
database
platforms;
and
-
Any
personnel
and
location
logistical
concerns;
Using
the
information
collected,
Access
IT will
produce
a
comprehensive
document
defining
all the
requirements
in
detail
and a
conceptual
layout
of the
solution.
This
concept
document
will
define
the
software
functionality
required
to meet
the
needs,
plus it
will
highlight
the
specific
functionality
that
will
require
software
customizations.

Key User
Implementation |
In an
effort
to
maximize
time and
resources
efficiently
within
an
implementation,
Access
IT and
our
client
will
identify
a group
of
people
within
your
organization
that
will
represent
the Key

Team.
This
team
(usually
comprised
of a
representative
from
each
department)
will be
responsible
for
assisting
Access
IT in
tailoring
the
business
software
setups
and
process
flows
for the
company.
During
the Key

Receive
an
education
on
each
transactional
flow
and
data
setup
required
in
the
software;
-
Make
business
decisions
related
to
“going
forward”
procedures
within
the

End User
Implementation |
Through
the
success
of our
Key User
Implementation
we have
defined
and
proven
the
transactional
flow and
have
concluded
the
required
data
loading
process.
The End
User
Implementation
focuses
on
educating
the
remaining
users on
the
areas
specific
to their
role.
During
the End
User
Implementation
the
company
will;
-
Train
and
educate
users
on
the
business
software
as
it
was
defined
during
the
Key
User
implementation;
-
Perform
a
company-wide
pilot
exercise
simulating
how
the
application
will
be
used
at
go
live.
During
this
pilot
exercise,
end
users
will
perform
a
full
system
run
using
a
representative
sample
of
transactions
selected
by
Key
Users.
Access
IT
consultants
will
be
available
to
resolve
product
problems,
help
users
validate
the
data
and
integrate
work
processes
with
the
software
product.
-
Prepare
for
the
final
cut
over
to
go
live
process.
