NOAD Implementation Services
SPECS©
NOAD offers comprehensive implementation services for its solutions to ensure they are implemented effectively and they meet your expectations. As part of the implementation process, NOAD will spend time understanding your requirements and helping you to determine how Enterprise Change Management can be implemented to improve control of your business intelligence deployment. With our SPECS© approach, specifications, cost and timelines can be effectively managed and eliminates fragmented implementations.
A key benefit of working with NOAD’s implementation team is the proven project management process that is used along with a staff of skilled consultants to reduce risk and manage projects to on-time delivery within budget.
NOAD uses its proprietary SPECS© methodology as cornerstone of the implementation service.
- SCAN - audit of your existing BI deployment to evaluate existing processes, systems and resources
- PLAN - producing a plan to control and standardize the implementation of all new BI projects and migrate existing projects overtime
- EXECUTE - setup the correct architecture to provide a scalable, controlled and secure BI deployment
- CONTROL - measure and enforce the defined controls and standards, using NOAD EQM4
- SUPPORT- Once trained in both NOAD EQM4 and SPECS©, your support resources (or BICC) are equipped with the tools and technologies necessary to support and help achieve the objectives
Use of SPECS© is a good methodology for developing accurate project cost estimates, from the bottom up, based upon each of the implementation tasks. The more detailed the plan, the more accurate the estimate. A SPECS© implementation will identify all the deliverables required for installation or migration of NOAD EQM4. A detailed SPECS© is also helpful for assigning staff roles and responsibilities in the project. NOAD also utilizes SPECS© to help assure that the implementation process stays in synch with capabilities and customer requirements.
SPECS© significantly improve team collaboration, and through standardized templates and processes provide true visibility into each project.The combination of strong project management processes and a skilled staff are critical to the successful delivery of NOAD EQM4.
