Visual 2000 International has been delivering successful implementations to its clients for years. We understand business, we understand systems and we understand that every business has unique system requirements. Therefore, we take the time to understand your needs and make sure we meet them.

To ensure the success of our implementations we have developed our own process which has been used in our successful implementations. Our approach provides you with results and a quick payback. Our software solutions are based on this philosophy and our implementation approach is no different.

Visual 2000 Intenational's products are structured for scalability, implementation ease, and rapid deployment and are continuously enhanced with these goals in mind. Our site-by-site phased implementation approach allows for a gradual evolution of information systems in your business without requiring a complete system replacement, or complex business process re-engineering. The core processes of our implementation methodology are;

• Strategy Review.
• Project Planning and Management.
• Process Definition and Mapping.
• Configuration and Deployment.
• Integration.
• Reports and Analysis.
• Software installation.
• Skills Transfer . 

Many of our clients have replaced existing legacy systems. As a result, replacing your existing system can be done efficiently and cost effectively - you benefit from our experience.
The winning formula that ensures your success is the combination of our implementation methodology, aggressive project management; excellent training and support- all packaged to get you up and running quickly and enable a quick return on your systems investment.

By deploying our methodology you will;

• Clearly understand the project costs and benefits.
• Achieve early success and return on investment.
• Achieve early user adoption and efficiency improvements.
• Achieve rapid and visible cost reduction.
• Achieve management visibility of project deliverables and return on investment.
  

Determine Business Objectives (Goals, Objectives, and Measurements).

• Interview corporate executives and senior management.
• Interview IT and Operations managers.
• Interview functional department managers and users.
• Define the business objectives.

Needs Assessment

• Evaluate the existing system.
• Identify the alternatives.
• Business considerations.
• Technology considerations.

Development of the Project Plan and Team

• Define the project structure.
• Define the project scope.
• Assemble the project team.
• Identify the project phases and tasks.

Requirements Definition

• Review the project plan and objectives.
• Gather requirements from different departments.
• Prioritize the requirements.
• Verify that the entire project scope covers the requirements of every department.
• Determine probability of meetings requirements and reconsider alternatives.
• Identify information resources and build list.
• Conduct a preliminary evaluation.
  

• Based on the requirements definition lay out the process map.
• Implement any re-engineered processes.
• Apply the Solution-Process alignment among different departments and users.
• Prepare for the final execution of the project.

This is where the software solution is aligned with your business processes in an environment prior to deployment. Continuing with the implementation, risk is reduced through planned tasks, analysis of the system in your business, and through development of user operational procedures. The emphasis is placed on preparation for an orderly transfer of knowledge from the project team to the user community.

• Training (Knowledge transfer).
• Readiness Check for the system.
• Hand over to Production/Other departments in the company.

In this phase, all business-system gap issues are addressed and documentation of choices is completed. The implementation guide can now be used as the training vehicle for the user community to transfer system utilization knowledge thus insuring a smooth transition to the production system. Delivering the solution at this time entails installation of the software, managing business process changes, educating system users and also implementing a support structure for the client. Status and progress of scheduled tasks are tracked daily with the goal of full deployment within your business. Final analysis is done to ensure the implementation objectives have been met.

• After the implementation and deployment of the software you will have your system up and running.
• Your business process has been adapted at this point and a support system has been defined. Visual 2000 International will continue to support all of the software components when required.
