MDS use PIM to deploy every Pronto Xi implementation, whether small or large as this reduces risk and creates relevant outcomes.Acquiring the best software available, that can clearly do everything you want and in the way you want to do it, is quite obviously of paramount importance to your business and what you want to achieve. But it is also fair to say that the number one, and most critical, success factor in ensuring an IT project meets expectations is the supporting team that will help with the system’s implementation. And let’s not forget that when we talk about expectations, we are not just talking about software functionality. We’re also talking about budgets and timeframes. As well as ongoing, high quality, day-to-day support as you continue to grow or diversify and as you elect to add additional software options. In other words, initial success must be matched by continuing success. To help you meet such essential goals, MDS is uniquely geared to provide the service, support, training and consultancy that’s really needed. To begin with, all of our systems consultants are extensively trained in Pronto Xi. But individual team members also have considerable real-world experience in particular operational disciplines. That’s to say, we never assign your project a computer focussed generalist. But rather a specialist who can clearly understand what it is you want to achieve. So if manufacturing is a core part of your business, we assign a manufacturing specialist. If project costing is of key concern, we’ll ensure a consultant with project costing expertise is associated with the implementation. And so on. And then there is the project implementation and management strategy we bring to bear. Known as PIM – Pronto Implementation Methodology – this is all about ensuring the focus is on the outcomes you want achieved not on bits and bytes. As such, PIM helps create: - Consensus among all stake holders about the precise objectives the project is to achieve.
- Agreed outcomes.
- A specific project structure.
- A costing framework.
- Increased project certainly.
In achieving this, PIM takes a step by step approach which: - Creates the Project Charter and a statements of outcomes.
- Coordinates the people, tasks, training and requirements.
- Defines workshops, configuration and training required.
- Enforces project documentation as a current and future reference.
- Defines go live as a deliberate process as opposed to a coincidence.
What’s more, just like you, MDS is South Australian headquartered. So implementation won’t be driven by ‘fly-in, fly-out’ consultants. And important day-to-day advice and counsel will always be readily at hand.
