System Implementation

System Implementation
Development & Deployment

CIPPlanner Corporation’s market offering includes both out-of-box software products and application system implementation services. While various CIPAce™ flagship solutions can be quickly implemented with all available out-of-box features, our customers typically hire CIPPlanner implementation team for System Implementation Service to develop and deploy the initial application system to take advantage of our team’s expertise and experiences in deploying these solutions with maximum benefits and expedited implementations. As a result, System Implementation has been the principal service offered by CIPPlanner Corporation and our team has cumulated more than two decades of experience in implementing various application systems that manage and support more than $250 billion of capital projects and programs in many US states and abroad.

 

Implementation
A 9-Point Strategy

  1. Tailor System Design: Tailor system design to client’s business processes with a focus on improving efficiency and users’ experience.

  2. Agile: Sprint-based approach to ensure quality and timely delivery of milestone functions/modules.

  3. Demos: Initial sandbox demos to help users to gain general understanding of CIPAce™.

  4. References and Resources: Comprehensive User Reference Manual, Training Manuals and/or Videos, etc., to meet individual users’ post go-live and on-going needs for assistance.

  5. Scripted-Guided User Acceptance Tests: Step-by-step scripts for module-based User Acceptance Test (UAT).

  6. Module Walkthroughs: Module-based walkthroughs to Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) upon configuration and internal QC & testing.

  7. End User Testing: End users perform UAT following associated script and with help from SMEs.

  8. Integrated Testing: Complete set of scripts to assist with end-to-end final UATs prior to system deployment.

  9. Extensive Training: Extensive training sessions for both end users and system administrators with a well-defined system deployment plan.

Best Practices
Agile (Sprint) Lifecycle/ PM

We follow Agile (Sprint) best practices for project lifecycle management. CIPPlanner incorporates process/module scoping, iteration planning and backlog grooming, configuration and development, backlog change management, end of sprint retrospectives, and parallel data migration, where possible, to accelerate implementation schedule. Our Agile execution utilizes standard Sprint conventions that enable CIPPlanner to move along a pathway to Discover, Deliver, and Operate. Within each Sprint:

  1. The project team begins by establishing the Backlog, an itemization of deliverables.
  2. Iteration Planning ensures consensus on the work and deliverables; We encourage a written sign-off on these commitments to strengthen our business relationship with our customers.
  3. The Develop stage within a given Sprint consist of clarifying requirements, translating them into specifications, and ultimately performing any necessary configurations that satisfy customer needs. Again, our Off-The-Shelf solutions typically satisfy the lion’s share of requirements. However, CIPAce™ is highly configurable to fill the gaps where such are discovered. During this stage, CIPPlanner delivers best practice artifacts such as process models, user requirements, gap analysis, and configuration analysis.
  4. During Showcase, we present our proposed solutions against the specified scope of a given Sprint.
  5. User Testing enables customer to test and verify functionalities and features delivered in a sprint in test environment. Kick the tires, so to speak. We provide customers with detailed test scripts and only consider success by way of signoff on the User Acceptance Test (UAT).
  6. Retrospective concludes each Sprint, allowing customers and CIPPlanner to review what has been accomplished. We take from this exchange necessary insights to help scope and further improve execution of the upcoming Sprint.
