This timeline represents a 10 month lead up to go live and month end support for 2 months
Why Ready, Set, and GO?
The Ready phase is all about getting you prepared for in person training and User Acceptance Testing.
We Initiate the project by holding a formal Launch meeting, where we review key elements of the sale with your project team, the Sample and Master Instances are provisioned and made available, and the you are given access to the eLearning Digital Library so you can get a jump start on training.
We then go through a requirements and design process where the Application Consultants will hold key strategic sessions to validate firm requirements for go-live. Requirements falling outside of the scope will be documented for Phase 2 to be implemented after go-live. We will strongly encourage you to keep configuration changes to a minimum as this may affect the overall cost and project timeline.
We will then take everything we have learned and go build out your environment with you. Conversion, including setups will happen during this phase. Any firm specific configurations required for go-live must also take place at this time. We will provide both digital and remote training to you on how to take advantage of the stock configuration tools within 3E with the expectation that the customer will be able to implement these. This includes the ability for configurations that relate to report and dashboard design, configuring generic integrations and adding fields as needed via the Field configuration functionality recently released. Items identified as critical for go-live yet outside the scope of the implementation will be reviewed with the customer to confirm customer responsibility. In the event the customer is not able to complete the necessary configurations we are able to assist on a Time and Materials Basis. The Thomson Reuters team will ensure the system is fully functional as we prepare to deliver for the upcoming Training and Testing phase.
We are now ready to get the customer Set.
Train the trainer training is conducted and we then move into User Acceptance Testing to identify any final tweaks needed for go-live. These tweaks are resolved in a round of issue resolution.
As we make the decision to go-live a Pre-Launch Checklist is reviewed with the customer to prepare them for Go Live.
We are now at GO
A final conversion of their legacy data will be conducted, and the Application Consultant will work with the firm to prepare the system for live operations.
The Application Consultant supports the customer through their first month end cycle and the Thomson Reuters Project Manager hosts a transition call with the support team to facilitate the move from implementation to live operations.
This slide is a representation of an example timeline and resource allocation for new Implementation to 3E Cloud. Actual timelines and task timelines are subject to scope and customer needs.
We’ve included a line for our project team including the Project Manager, Application Consultant, Conversion Analyst, Technical Ops, Template Lead, and Technical Lead.
The Customer Experience Advocate plays a key role with our Cloud customers and it’s important that this person is there from the time the customer signs all the way through renew to elevate the customers experience over the life our of relationship.
The customer is a key part of our implementations as we partner throughout the migration to ensure success and there are times during the project where we need more of their time than others. We need high and immediate customer engagement as we launch the project. We’re looking to quickly get the customer’s sample instance provisioned and available for them to utilize as a test bed. The eLearning Digital Library is available to the customer right away with the expectation that the customer dives right into learning 3E to better prepare them for their upcoming Solution Overview sessions. These Solution Overview sessions provide the customer a hands-on experience of inserting data into 3E as they are acclimated to the product.
The most important part of customer engagement is testing. The more thorough the customer tests the higher the level of confidence and success of the project.
