IES utilizes a straightforward methodology that focuses on the logistical requirements of implementations
as well as deployment critical path concerns. The methodology concentrates on the implementation and
support of E1 software, not on low-value add documentation, high-level fluff diagrams nor political aspects
of organizations – IES maintains a deliberate application of centered attention on implementations,
without hesitation or equivocation.
IES has reduced the lifecycle of the project into nine phases:
| Discovery Phase |
Data Gathering, Questionnaires,
Executive Direction
|
| Preparation Phase |
Checklists, Change Control, Deployment 101, Project Plan, Project Budget, Kickoff |
| Business Processes |
Integrated Business Processes |
| Model Phase |
Business Requirements, Chart of Accounts, Business Units, Security |
| Set Up Phase |
Configuration |
| Test Phase |
Conference Room Pilots |
| Training Phase |
End User Training |
| Cutover Phase |
Conversion and Go Live |
| Support Phase |
Support Handoff |
The IES tool set has been designed to work specifically within these nine
phases, but can also used as a supplemental resource within any major accepted methodology as published
or practiced by by the Big 4 or major professional services organizations.
