Practical Programs’ Professional Services Group is composed of individuals with extensive experience in the successful implementation of document/drawing management software solutions. We understand that while each implementation is different, it still requires a preset blueprint for success.

Our software implementation methodologies are designed around your particular project to ensure its success. We begin by clearly identifying the deliverables and performance expectations for each phase of the project. Each phase of deliverables is reviewed and approved at designated time tables to establish the project time line. Our management tools include an automated issues / action item list, assignment, progress monitoring and a resolutions tracking system. Project reports are prepared at pre-defined intervals summarizing the over-all project status, key deliverables, and milestones. 

Sample of a typical Practical Programs Implementation Project Phase Approach:

Define Requirements

• Lead / participate in operational designs, modification review and design meetings.
• Lead / participate in integration discussions. We confirm availability of essential data elements, and prepare detailed integration requirements and designs.

GAP Analysis

• We review any GAPs very early in the project to give management an early view of the project scope.
• We provide operational alternatives that may negate a "software modification".
• We detail each GAP and the proposed technical or operational solution.

Software Implementation and Support

• Lead / participate in software configuration.
• Help in the development of new SOPs, test scripts, user acceptance testing, training curriculum, and end-user training.
• Guide / participate in user acceptance testing and monitor each test script.
• Guide / participate in the documentation for the conversion plan, risk mitigation plans, and contingency plans.

The above outlined approach by our Professional Services Group represents only a sample to highlight the depth of our experience and willingness to participate in the process to effectively manage your software implementation.
