Pre-Implementation

Provida Pre-Implementation Workshops

Provida has introduced the concept of pre-implementation workshops that allows potential clients the chance to evaluate in detail the implementation or upgrade of a Sage ERP or CRM software system before deciding whether to fully commit to the project or not. The process enables all parties to have a complete understanding of the underlying requirements and proposed solution.

A pre-implementation workshop is particularly useful where clients are short on internal resources and may not have completed an internal requirements definition.

What is Involved in the Workshops?

Senior Provida consulting staff will come on-site to perform workshops with key staff from the client side. This will enable Provida staff to fully understand the scope of the project and the requirements of the client. Notes will taken throughout the workshops.

What are the Workshop Outcomes?

• At the end of the on-site workshops, Provida staff will assemble the notes taken during the course of the workshops and create detailed requirements definition for any software customisations that are required because the standard “out of the box” software doesn't fit the client requirements.
• Provida will also prepare a detailed Proposal that will outline the core “out of the box” software required to meet the client’s requirements.
• A draft project plan will be prepared with an agreed timeframe, allocated resources and identified tasks.

The client will be able to approve the project with a full transparency about the costs and timeframe for implementation.

What are the Costs of Performing a Pre-Implementation Workshop?

A daily rate is charged to cover the cost of at least 2 Senior Provida Consultants to come on site and run the workshops.  The post-workshop write ups are covered in the workshop fee.  The fee for 2010 is set at $4000 per day.  Generally 1 to 3 days workshops are sufficient for most implementations.
