Foundation Deploy Stage

During the Deploy Stage end-users of the system are trained, and the final configured system and data is delivered into production. The process provides end-users with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively utilize the software in their role. The Deploy Stage includes:

  • Deployment Plan. Allegro prepares a training syllabus and exercises, supported by a training database, for each course. The Deployment Plan contains the training details for each course, including the course name, instructor, participants, location and dates.
  • Deployment Training. We conduct user training courses at the location designated in the Deployment Plan. User training class attendance by your users is critical to the on-going success of the project.
  • Final Data Conversion. We execute the data conversion scripts to migrate data into the final production databases.
  • Deploy Stage Completion. To close the Deploy Stage, we submit a Stage Completion Notification to customer project lead to document the mutual agreement of both teams to the completion of the stage.

Allegro’s training curriculum helps ensure that customer teams understand the resources now available to them. Users of the system gain hands on experience through instructor led exercises. Throughout the Deploy Stage, Allegro teams stay on-site to address system or process issues. The team works in conjunction with end-users and the customer’s information technology department to ensure a successful transition.
