Implementation Methodology

From the start, Makaya Professional Services engages your staff in thorough, methodical planning to define all project requirements, specifications, tasks and deliverables. Our implementation methodology ensures that nothing is overlooked. We develop a clearly defined communication plan to keep everyone involved on course - any issues or concerns are quickly addressed throughout the process.

Business Planning

Makaya Strategic Services consultants help you build a solid solution and business strategy so you can get the most out of our technology investment. We provide the business expertise, methodology, and tools that guide you through critical business-planning processes during two highly focused workshops.

Needs Assessment

Makaya consultants work closely with your staff to understand your organization's business and technical needs. Our goal is to determine project success criteria, define high-level project phases and components, and estimate the level of investment required to successfully implement your Information system. The results of our needs assessment are reflected in a preliminary project scope document.

Business and System Modeling

Makaya consultants map key business workflows and system requirements to accurately establish your project's scope, schedule and costs. We also determine the priority and complexity of any required integration work. As your solution is finalized and preliminary designs and configurations completed, the project transitions into the configuration stage.

System Configuration

Makaya consultants install your new software, then implement and test any customizations and integrations with legacy systems. Data from legacy or other systems is migrated, reporting capabilities are implemented, and end-user training is initiated.

Deployment

Makaya consultants validate that all success criteria outlined in the project plan have been satisfied. During the deployment stage, Makaya Professional Services also works with your team to train end-users on your new system. When complete, your IT solution installed and configured to work the way you do becomes operational. With custom courseware tailored to your business processes, combined with end-user training and go-live support and coaching, your entire team will be ready to take full advantage of your new system.

Service and Support

With your system deployed, our Customer Services team works with your staff to ensure continued support and attention to your needs. Makaya account managers and Consultants are also available to work with your organization as new needs arise. Together, the entire Makaya Professional Services team works to ensure your long-term success.
