Whether it be
a new software package deployment or a complete network redesign, Next Level
Technologies has the knowledge and experience to ensure your next IT project
is efficiently managed, deployed and supported. All of our projects go through
our six step process to ensure a successful project outcome:
1 - Assessment
During the
Assessment Phase we will come to your location for an initial consultation.
During this consultation we will assess your current infrastructure as well
as discuss your needs and business goals. It's important that we not only
understand your current needs but your needs over the next few years as
well.
2 - Design and
Scope of Work
Next is the
Design Phase. In this phase two different engineers will work together to
determine what changes will need to be made to the existing infrastructure
to meet the goals and needs outlined in the Assessment Phase. After determining
those changes they will design options to implement those changes. The options
designed will then have exact cost on all software and equipment determined
as well as estimated labor cost. You will then be presented with a detailed
explanation and cost estimate of the options we determined would fulfill
your needs. The option you select will determine the Scope of Work to be
performed.
3 - Organization
In the Organization
Phase we will take the Scope of Work outlined in the previous phase and
develop a Project Plan. This plan will include the steps needed to implement
the Scope of Work and a schedule for implementation. We will work closely
with you to minimize the amount of impact to users and plan for any training
that may be needed for the users relating to the project.
4 - Implement
During the Implementation
Phase we will follow all steps outlined in the Project Plan. The two goals
common to all projects is that this phase is performed accurately and on
schedule. After all work is done a second engineer goes over all settings
related to the project to ensure the project was implemented as the Project
Plan called for.
5 - Train
During
this phase we will train On-Site IT staff and employees on any changes that
have taken place relating to this project. This phase involves many steps.
It includes documentation of what has changed to you. This phase also includes
training your IT staff on changes to the network on where support can be
found in regards to the new systems. Lastly it involves training your employees
to use the new systems and supplying training tools such as printed walkthroughs
to help with any transition.
6 - Maintenance
and Support
This last phase
is the continued maintenance and support of your new systems. We provide
unparalleled enterprise level support through our monthly
support contracts. You can even include unlimited phone support in these
contracts to lock down your yearly IT cost and provide peace of mind for
your users.
