In contrast with large enterprise system projects that are implemented over one or more years, initial benefits from CSP can be realized in a matter of weeks with our Solution Enablement Toolkit (SET).
Our Toolkit has been architected using the industry’s most modern cloud-native Content Services Platform built to support best practices. We then deliver via Agile methodology designed to get you engaged right away so that users can start driving and contributing feedback immediately. It lets users use the system not just look at the system. Features and capabilities can then be knowledgeably identified and prioritized. Take the guess work out of systems development and end up with a platform that is both familiar and accepted from day one!
Benefits of our SET
- Your end-users start using the system, not just looking at the system
- By using the system, they don’t have to think about how they might plan to use it but focus on actual results
- Can pilot ideas quickly to arrive at a minimum viable product (MVP)
Solution design and development framework
Step 1
Workshop
- Discovery sessions to gather current future state, focused on data models for content management
- Determine infrastructure needs, hosting model (on premises, cloud or hybrid)
- Develop proof of concepts and a base level concept
Step 2
Solution design
- Functional and architectural requirements
- Prioritize features and functionality
- Create an early data model and workflow aligned to business processes
Step 3
Build
- Establish Agile delivery team & processes including continuous integration and delivery pipelines
- Use sprint planning, Extreme Programming (XP) principles, and engineering principles
- Collaborative and regular reviews of working code
Step 4
UAT
- User acceptance testing by end users as features are delivered
- Identify and fix issues early
- Incorporate feedback and improvement early
Step 5
Deploy
- Quickly create minimum viable product that meets the objective
- Let users begin to work with the delivered platform early
Step 6
Migrate assets
- Ingest or migrate existing assets
- Realize early and tangible business benefits
- Quicker return on investment (ROI)
Time to value: SET and agile provide an MVP in 4 months
