Straightforward Deployment
Getting Covalent up and running is so straightforward that we offer our implementation package for a fixed fee. The implementation process is simple for three reasons:
- Covalent was designed with the goals of easy configuration and detailed customization capabilities
- Data loading from your various spreadsheets onto the Covalent system is streamlined due to the structured import routines we follow
- A proven process, built on our vast experience and knowledge of implementation challenges and successes
All this means that implementing Covalent is not complex, is not expensive and we do not need many staff on the project. It requires very little resource input from your side and it doesn't take long to get up and running effectively with the software. Talk to any of our customers for reassurance on this point. Broadly, a Covalent implementation involves three major elements:
- Project management and Consulting. During this step we provide necessary project management support and consult on software configuration. We can gladly assist with other forms of consulting (eg., PI selection, strategic planning, etc.) though not included as part of our standard implementation approach.
- Data loading the information you want on Covalent. We do all the work involved in this, and this element accounts for the bulk of work completed on every implementation, so we have provided further details below.
- Site configuration and preferences setting.
| A Covalent project will pass through 4 major milestones on the way to completion: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Project Kick-Off | To finalize project scope and detail of information to be loaded. | Week 1 |
| Familiarization | Customer uses the initial training guide and workbook to familiarize with Covalent in advance of the initial scheduled on-site training. | Weeks 2-4 |
| Site Live | The initial systems administrator (SysAdmin) training is completed and the dedicated Covalent site is accessible by the customer with preference settings configured. | Week 4 |
| Project Live | Final SysAdmin training is delivered and remaining data loading completed. Project Completion Document is sent to customer, which outlines the work that has been completed and the data that resides on the customer site. | Week 8-10 |
