Package Implementation

In turbulent times, ‘on time’ and ‘on cost’ are no longer valid measures of success. Business outcomes set the criteria for project success. The probability of delivering value to the business determines whether IT initiatives will continue to receive budgetary support. In this context, it is imperative for organizations to maximize the value derived from packaged applications not only during the implementation phase but through the entire life cycle of the application.

At EXILANT we understand the business imperatives and the challenges behind the implementation and support of software packages. We combine deep domain expertise with a consulting approach to deliver business results from the packaged application landscape of an organization.

EXILANT’s unique implementation methodology – Excelerate – is tailor made to help clients achieve business goals through the methodology framework. The implementation is achieved in four phases.

Phase I– Planning: In the planning phase the project goals, scope, implementation strategy and the plan are outlined which serves as a flexible tool to define cross functional roles and resources required for accomplishing specific tasks.

Phase II– Analysis: In this phase, the business model is established with emphasis on defining software capability that is specific to your ‘To Be’ business requirement. The conference room pilot is a validation of the specific business model and Gap Analysis identifies specific customization points that are required to achieve project goals.

Phase III– Implementation: In this phase the solution is configured and any customization  requirements are addressed. End users are trained on the application and the data required to operate the new system prior to ‘Go Live’

Phase IV– Support: This phase consists of functional and technical support to run the application package installed.
