HR software implementation and project management

HR 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 experienced and dedicated Client Services Director. Delivering Value 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.

Your Project Manager will be your named contact throughout the project.

The specification meeting will be managed by our Project Manager who will be responsible for ensuring that all agreed conditions are met prior to hand over and final sign off.

The specification documents we produce at the start of a project are extremely detailed. This ensures that the testing procedures we carry out at the point of hand over are typically able to show that the system is working as specified. We do not typically find that any prolonged and costly program of post-installation work is required. However we can provide optional User Acceptance Testing if required.

Key stages in any project usually include:

1. Project Planning
2. Specification Meeting
3. Data Migration
4. Software Installation
5. System Set Up
6. System Configuration
7. Training
8. Go Live! Day

Our aim is to ensure that once an implementation project has been signed off our clients have no need to purchase additional service days from us. This service is always available but CascadeHR delivers features and technology which allows the majority of our clients, with guidance occasionally from our support desk and Account Management team, to undertake evolution and configuration of the system for changing needs themselves. Of course we constantly develop our systems and in addition to your own changes we will deliver new versions with new functionality on a regular basis. Both are compatible with each other and no changes are lost on upgrade.
