Most distributors have the same fundamental questions:

Proven Mythologies- “Partnership In Action “

Selecting the best software for your business does not guarantee success. The Gartner Group recent studies concluded that a poor system selection criteria was the major contributing factor to the failure of new computer implementations not meeting expectations. To correct these mistakes, distributor’s evaluation priorities changed to give higher priority to the software companies’ industry knowledge, business processes and implementation mythologies and less on price and software functionality.

•  The Proven Data Solutions Implementation Methodology is a structured process for implementing and installing FACTS and TakeStock software. It provides a framework, which can be tailored specifically for each customer, for ensuring that the FACTS implementation is successful.

The methodology is not a magic formula — it’s simply a framework for ensuring that implementations are conducted in a consistent, thorough manner. It helps the PDS  team collect the necessary information, thoroughly and accurately at each step in the process. The methodology is used to set goals and objectives and to identify the tasks required to meet those goals. A timeline is established at the beginning of the project and tracked to completion.

The methodology also helps set realistic customer expectations during the sales cycle, and again before the implementation project begins. It assists in determining the scope of the project up front so that an accurate proposal can be presented to the customer. Each step of the project can be tracked in detail until the implementation is complete. After the installation, periodic reviews may be conducted to insure that the customer has a solid understanding of the functionality and flexibility of the system, and that the system is being utilized to its maximum.
