CogsdaWs implementation approach is based on methodologies used by leaders in project <br />implementations, Microsoft Dynamics Sure, Step and Project Management Institute (PM I). <br />Cogsdale uses this as the basis for the implementation, adding experience and best practices <br />from previous projects to address the intricacies of utility organizations. This approach allows <br />flexibility in aligning Cogsdale's implementation approach with client requirements, goals and <br />objectives. <br />Organize projecttearn <br />Official kick-off with Cogsdale implementation team <br />Software installation occurs <br />Discovery workshops for modifications, interfaces & reports <br />Data definition/ mapping, plan for conversion established & test cases defined <br />Review business process& map to Cogsdale solution <br />Configure and build the new system, start building reports <br />System setup, testing conversions, build extraction routines <br />Development starts building integrations <br />Conversion testing, integration testing <br />Ulser acceptance testing, functional testing <br />Start system training <br />Contingency planning <br />Mock conversions <br />Go -live prep, criteria forgo/no go decision is determined <br />• Production run (data is in production environment) <br />• Final conversion <br />All supporting activities to move to the production, environment to <br />continue daily operations <br />• Post go live support with project team, project close out <br />• Transition to Cogsdale's support group <br />6 Go -live refresher training, production and performance tuning <br />PROJECT MANAGEMENT <br />Cogsdale will provide overall project management for the implementation. The Project Manager <br />will use Cogsdale's standardimplementation methodology to ensure successful completion of <br />the project on time and on budget. A sample pro -forma project plan, based on current <br />knowledge of the project, is included with this proposal. An updated project plan will be provided <br />upon completion of the Analysis phase, with a revised version presented before system <br />implementation. <br />Cogsdale will provide experienced team members for the project. It is essential that the client <br />provide a senior sponsor as well as other key staff members to be part of the project team, <br />these members will: <br />
