New Approach to Expertise with PeopleSoft
A
New Approach to PeopleSoft™ Solutions
The Client Engagement Process
AMC uses its methodology first to determine what type of engagement, “linear” or “strategic” the client prefers, or perhaps requires. The key difference between the “linear” and the “strategic” option is that in the linear variant there is no optimization phase.
Linear: In low
risk implementations, the linear approach saves time and money. The timeline
is clear, and the approach sequential. Milestones and deliverables flow in
order.
Strategic: For
clients undertaking medium or high risk implementations (measured for
example, by how much organizational change is required for the solution) the
strategic approach allows for a more holistic approach, using an “immersion” technique
to manage change. The plan is driven by outcomes not milestones. To mitigate
risk, an optimization step is used before large scale roll-out. The method
uses a three state risk management system (red, amber, and green), to define
risk levels; the “continuous flow”
model for deliverables allows the client to begin the process almost
anywhere, although entering through a consulting phase tends to yield best
results.
From the plan, a project team is derived, integrating AMC capabilities with other project partners as needed, and with the client. The result is a dependable solution with a high level of predictability in respect of the PeopleSoft™ implementation.
