Rapid implementation
Rapid Implementation Methodology (RIM) is the version of Microsoft’s Sure Step Methodology specifically for projects with little or no customisation where a rapid deployment model is appropriate.
RIM is a proven combination of time-saving tools and structured process. Tools include templates for data migration, standard basic training material and questionnaires to guide through set up. Process is all about the project Management, effective management of change requests and issues, and ensures the project maintains focus.
Super User Navigation Training
Navigation training provides familiarisation of the system for your project team to enable them to critique through the workshops and manage testing.
Process Workshops
These provide a detailed walkthrough of the functionality within scope for your project. They aim to confirm that the solution will suit your needs and establish how the system needs to be set up. The outputs of these sessions are the Functional Scope document and Fit/Gap worksheet that identifies any areas unique to your business, and where additional work may be required.
System Build and Install
This involves advising on an appropriate test and production environment, installing software to your server and PC’s and providing administration training to your IT resource
Data Migration
Excel templates are supplied for the required data. Once data is in the correct format, we will upload and assist with testing workshops. Usually, services will allow for two data loads in each area, one into the test environment and one into the production environment ready for Go Live.
UAT and Parallel Run
User Acceptance Testing and Parallel run, to assist user adoption of the system and ensure the system has been set up as expected.
Training
Typical elements addressed within training
How long does it take?
Rapid implementation takes about 3 to 6 weeks to be completed from start to finish.
