Project Methodology

It is essential that we provide the framework, processes, guidelines and techniques to manage the people and the workload that is incumbent with a modern IT project. A proven, quality controlled methodology ensures success and delivers accountability as well as improvement through review and evolution.

Our Client Services team includes project and implementation staff such as Project Managers, Implementation Consultants, Implementation Support Consultants and Trainers and is headed up by Cascade's Client Services Director. Cascade have a reputation for delivering projects on time, to budget and accurately. This means that achievement of project goals set out at pre sales and project planning stages is absolutely key to us, vital in the long term success of our relationship with you, the client.

The Cascade project and implementation team will perform an essential role deploying the system within your organisation and will provide a seamless transition to our products from any legacy or in house solutions. Our Project Manager will be allocated to you and will conduct a project initiation meeting which designed to identify and document an agreed specification and project plan consisting of project milestones, key deliverables and responsibilities for both your project team and Cascade's.

Key stages in a typical project may be:

  • Project Planning
    When you select Cascade we will allocate a Project Manager who will contact you and organise a project planning meeting. At this meeting we will plan out your project with you and create a project plan. This project plan will lay out the process that we will follow to implement, configure, train your staff and go live for you with our solutions.
