Implementation Methodology
Longview's Implementation Methodology delivers the results you expect - success in quickly translating your purchase to a live application in productive use.
The key to a successful software implementation is a well-organized and structured implementation methodology. Longview Solutions' proven methodology delivers timely and predictable results. We focus on building a well-conceived infrastructure to promote and simplify the development of a long-term partnership: a partnership that is committed to frequent and open communication across the project team and key stakeholders.
Our winning formula balances risk assessment and mitigation strategies, scope control, and milestone management with a quick implementation time to deliver the most effective business solution for your organization. Our methodology includes:
- Scope: Longview Solutions works with key stakeholders to begin mapping out your organization's business requirements, processes, and key performance metrics. With this information a project scope is developed, project objectives are established, and a project work plan defined. The scoping exercise establishes a framework for improving your current business processes using the Longview Platform.
- Plan: Confirmation of project scope, timeline, and key milestone dates complete the details of the project work plan. Then the project team is mobilized. Key to the success of the project team is the industry-specific knowledge of the Longview Solutions professionals who work alongside your organization's experts during the life of the project.
- Design: Our experts work with your key subject matter experts to put together a well-conceived, complete, and accurate design. The integrated project team analyzes current business processes in detail to isolate gaps and highlight opportunities for refinement. Our design approach incorporates an iterative cycle of design, prototype, review, and modify. Frequent input and interaction with your organization plays an integral part in this process. Longview Solutions takes advantage of industry best practices and superior performance management strategies, to ensure the business solution is the most effective for your organization. The final design supports effective resource utilization and project cost containment.
- Configure: Your platform is configured to match both your business process requirements and technical requirements as defined during design. Longview Solutions works closely with you to ensure that the delivery of your business solution follows our high implementation standards.
- Test: Longview Solutions works with you to develop a testing strategy that documents expected results, test cases, test cycles, a change control process, and stress testing. The system test is a complete end-to-end testing of the new business process, and secures acknowledgement from the user community prior to application rollout.
- Rollout: The Longview Solutions team works with you to roll the application out to your user community and monitor the new business processes against the original business objectives to ensure success and acceptance.
