Selecting software is only half the solution.
For successful implementation, a disciplined approach to Project Management by qualified project managers will ensure that your solution is delivered on time, on budget, and with the right level of active communication during the development process. This is where In The Cloud have the experience and track record.
Agile Approach
Fewer infrastructure issues. Quicker time to implement.
A significant benefit of a SaaS implementation is that the effort can focus on getting the business interactions and workflow translated into the application, and on socialising the changes with the user community, rather than dealing with technology infrastructure issues.
In a small organisation with simple requirements, this means that you can be up and running with a basic Salesforce automation, customer service, or procurement process in a few weeks.
In the Cloud’s approach recognises that a CRM implementation can generate a rapid return on investment, and be a great catalyst for change. But this change process necessitates:
Delivering a successful business outcome.
Managing a project in an agile environment still requires the same disciplines as in a traditional on-premise implementation. SaaS flexibility allows for emerging requirements, and an understanding that a successful business outcome is more important than following a regimented set of detailed tasks.
Delivery Framework
At In The Cloud, we approach application implementations with a framework, rather than a strict methodology.
This allows a more agile, adaptable, scalable approach regardless of whether your solution has 2 or 2000 users. Our projects are iterative in nature and are based around waves of activity that build momentum and deliver tangible impact.
We start with your definition of success:
- What is the objective of the project?
- What business problems are to be addressed?
- What are the high priorities? and
- How will you measure the outcomes?
We configure a ‘Strawman’ based on our initial understanding of your requirements and evolve the configuration once your users can see and touch an operating application.
Through close collaboration with your management and users, In The Cloud iterate the solution in short timeframes to meet your requirements and ensure acceptance and adoption.
Each wave covers four overlapping areas of activity, focused on defined and measurable outcomes:
