Implementation methodology for new business requirement
Implementation methodology for new business requirement
Millennium Consulting follows the Unit4 Implementation Methodology (U4IM), which is used globally for all Unit4 software implementations.
The methodology encompasses all the activities that can take place throughout the implementation process and is supported by strong project management controls to ensure successful delivery.
The phases of U4IM are:
• Plan/Design
We agree on the contract with a client, then hand the project to our implementation team who set up the project organization. We perform a business requirement and process review, running workshops with the client to create the solution design.
• Test
We help you to perform Integrated System Testing and User Acceptance Testing on the elements built in the Build phase.
• Deploy
We deploy the different solution elements, taking care to advise you on and help coordinate every aspect from Data Migration to End User Testing.
• Close
Around three weeks after the solution goes live, we evaluate the project – assessing deliverables and future plans for development.
Note: Integration with third-party reporting software such as Cognos, Business Objects and Microsoft SSRS (as well as procurement, billing and payroll systems) is a key consideration of the upgrade process.
Is it time to upgrade?
Upgrading your finance software can provide new functionality, increased automation and more efficient processes.
