"With fuel oil representing up to 80% of our cost of doing business, we needed a state-of-the-art, transparent trading and risk management system to help reduce fuel costs, lock in margins and keep track of our physical and financial positions.”

Foundation Methodology Plan Phase PDF Print E-mail

Setting the pace.

plan

It starts with our blueprint for success.  We identify and orient the implementation team and in a series of planning meetings set the tone and working basis for true collaboration.  We refine the project approach and map the project to our methodology — or to yours, if desired.

The team defines goals and objectives, functional solution segments for rollout, key project processes, budget and plan, system administration requirements, and system infrastructure requirements.  We also identify the managers and key users who will evaluate each specialized application component.

Solidifying these details at the outset improves the project’s downstream productivity, dramatically increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.  At the same time, we scrutinize the planned workflow to identify critical interdependencies and eliminate potential bottlenecks.

Deliverables: By the end of the Plan phase, we have a blueprint in hand: a project charter, project work plan, initial budget, segment plan, and system administration plan.
