Implementation/Integration
Distribution One has developed and executes an Implementation Process that combines a dedicated team with a customer’s assigned project team to ensure every aspect of the software launch is addressed, planned, and initiated correctly. As one of four distinct services, Installation includes pre-implementation consulting, system installation and configuration, user training, data transfer from legacy system, and Go-Live/on-site support.
Customers can expect full participation in roundtable discussions and discovery sessions to ensure system generation is understood, assigned, and scheduled. Installation includes loading the application software, configuring workstations, defining printer setups and more, with the goal of maximizing system stability and reliability.
