It not only ensures a punctual start, but also a high acceptance for future users. **

This guide will guide you through the most important phases of the software introduction.

The 5 phases of implementation

• Phase 1: Planning and Requirement Analysis: Define clear goals, assemble a project team and analyze your existing processes and requirements.
• Phase 2: Configuration and Adjustment: Set up the software together with the provider. Customize workflows, forms and permissions to your specific needs.
• Phase 3: Data Migration: Plan the transfer of existing data from old systems (e.g. Excel lists) into the new software.
• Phase 4: Staff training: School all future users intensively to promote acceptance and ensure a smooth start.
• Phase 5: Go Live and Support: After the official launch, a good support by the provider is crucial to quickly clarify emerging questions.
