Get your solution running quickly and efficiently
A successful implementation of enterprise-class software requires a solid understanding of the technology and a proven set of processes and frameworks to ensure project success and establish an effective ongoing support structure. With Initiate Implementation Services™, our professional and experienced services team works with your organization to help you navigate a successful MDM implementation and achieve ongoing success through training and self-sufficiency plans.
Our proven methodology breaks an implementation project into four distinct processes:
- Planning and analysis – In this phase, we work with your organization to plan the project, identify and coordinate appropriate resources, establish success metrics and identify technical requirements across the enterprise. A project plan and management structure is also created. Our team works with you to identify sources of data, integration options and profiles data to quickly get the implementation up and running.
- Configuration and verification – Initiate® software does not require complex data models; however, some configuration and tuning occurs to maximize accuracy of the core MDM matching and linking engine. We also develop and execute functional and integration test plans to validate the implementation.
- Deployment and transition – Once your Initiate software is operating, the Initiate Services team provides you with best practices for employing data stewardship within your organization.
- Training – Throughout implementation, the Initiate Services team uses hands-on training and coursework to provide a training curriculum that will ensure your resources are prepared to manage and maintain your implementation.
