With this particular client, we were able to delve deep into processes that had had been fine tuned over years of the client living and breathing their business. This meant that we were able to develop and customise BC to match these processes. At the same time, we able to bring a few new ideas based on best practice from Microsoft and our own expertise earned from years in business and technical capability and skill. This meant that during the testing phase, we could see the true power of implementing such a comprehensive system like BC along with bringing users on board. For me this can be one of the most exciting and reward part of the stages we go through.

Whilst we have touched on how we involve our clients key people, it is such an important part of the process that I am going to go into a little more detail. Our approach involves tapping into the expertise of our customers. While we are experts in BC, our customers are experts in their business. By collaborating closely with them, we ensure that all business processes are thoroughly reviewed and optimised. This collaboration helps us find the most efficient ways to implement BC, tailored to the unique needs of each business.

Training in the first instance starts as early as the development and testing phase. It is in this phase that we map out the what and who part of the training process. Allocating “champions” in the business early on helps with accelerating in house client capability and ongoing training courses follow up with the rest of the team. Finally, a support package ensures that ongoing queries, be they training or further development are hugely beneficial in the successful implementation and ongoing update rollout process.,.,.
