Activities

A typical engagement commences with an information gathering session to understand business challenges; it then introduces customers to the recommended technologies, solutions and concepts and how it can be leveraged to tackle those business challenges. Our customers will further gain knowledge on how best to deploy solutions within their environment based upon best practice implementations.

Strategy Briefing Session (SBS) allows Applicable  to understand the customer’s environment, deployment blockers and business drivers. Some specific scenarios as follows:

> Specific business challenges (i.e. process automation)
> Specific IT challenges (i.e. security, administration, capacity, compliance)
> Deployment issues
> Cultural adoption challenges

Architectural Design Session (ADS) introduces our customer to the technologies and processes necessary to deliver a successful deployment project or engagement.  This again is an interactive session that includes the following:
