How can a Web-Based Software Application Enhance the Success of your Multi-Site Enterprise Technology Deployment?

An essential component to support a well-defined technology rollout system of methodologies, the web-based software application is proficient at capturing processes, documenting work and providing visibility into projects.

Example Scenario:
If a customer averages 300 technology rollouts per week, how does the technology rollout company accommodate an increased scale of 600 rollouts per week without decreasing quality of service?

Answer:
The web-based software application accelerates deployment time, enhances communication flow and ensures quality assurance at every phase of the technology rollout.

The rollout company relies on its internal resources and partnerships that support its defined process structure in order to escalate capabilities. With its primary purpose to provide easily accessed services for customers (such as reporting and project documentation), a web-based software application cannot account for changes in project scope, scale or address advanced customer needs. It serves as a support tool, not as a viable replacement for the system itself. Read the rest of this entry »

What Method of Deployment Is Most Efficient for Your Multi-Site Technology Rollout?

The Deployment Method is part of the Rollout Services Model within the Technology Rollout System. While the Rollout Services Model determines what services will be utilized for a project, the Deployment Method defines how the services are deployed to each site as well as the field technician requirements.

Understanding the Deployment Methods
There are many options when it comes to delivering rollout services. Our second White Paper explains and compares the primary Deployment Methods used for nationwide and international, multi-site technology rollouts. These include the:

Local Multi-Service The technology rollout company minimizes the number of local field technicians to deploy multiple services in as few truck rolls as possible. Each technician specializes in multiple services and is managed and supported by the technology rollout company.
Single-Service Multi-Resource
The technology rollout company uses multiple local field technicians. Each technician specializes in a single service.
Non-Local Service
The technology rollout company uses a single group of technicians as its field force. These non-local technicians travel to each site from a central location. Each technician may or may not specialize in multiple services.
Additional Methods: Hybrid A number of variations of the three basic methods may exist as hybrid methods, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Read the rest of this entry »

What are Some Issues to Watch for Before and After the Deployment Phase of my Technology Rollout?

While it is easy to look at the actual deployment of a technology solution as the main focal point for evaluating a technology rollout company, there actually four rollout phases to be aware of. These four phases include planning, scheduling, deployment and project close-out.

In each of these phases, there are items to consider in order to fully evaluate a technology rollout company’s capabilities.

Additional Issues to Watch for
Three primary issues to consider that come into play before or after the Deployment Phase of a technology rollout are listed below. While there are always additional items of consideration, these are some of the most critical that can have a devastating impact on your project deadline and budget.

Lack of Defined Scope of Work
A clear Scope of Work (SOW) is crucial to ensuring that all project requirements for the entire deployment are defined. It is a check-and-balance for all work that is performed as well as keeps everyone involved in the know about what is both expected and required for a successful technology rollout. Not having a defined SOW, which should be spearheaded by the technology rollout company, is a warning sign that the rollout is headed for major problems. Read the rest of this entry »
