 NuAxis Engagement Standards and Practices
Engagement standards and practices have been developed as a result of lessons learned over time with multiple client engagements.
Time proven methodologies that support successful deployments.
Our engagement model encompasses end to end activities required for managing a project.
The model is accompanied with a tracking checklist that assists in the assurance that all steps are followed.
It includes the use of collateral that helps to effectively track, communicate, and obtain concurrence throughout the lifecycle of a project.
The Model is broken down into five major components that support the natural flow and lifecycle of a project.

Initiation Highlights
Design, Scope, & Funding Highlights
Project Approval & Establishment
Implementation Highlights
Project Closure Highlights
Documentation and Knowledge Transfer
   
 
 Initiation Highlights
During the initiation, the goal is to provide a level set to the Client sponsor and Team leaders.
High level kick off meeting provides an opportunity to communicate the expectations of the entire engagement to the client, including;
 
  • Engagement Process Overview
  • Detailed Discovery Requirements Outline
  • Readiness Assessment Overview
  • Solution Design Overview and Objectives
  • Roles and Responsibilities
  • Project Logistics

 Design, Scope, & Funding Highlights
Client Discovery and deployment readiness assessment takes place .
Information obtained during the discovery is then turned into the Solution Design, which will act as the guide for the entire implementation.
In the event that the recommended process is not going to be followed, a quick start discovery will be performed and a risk document will be presented to the client for approval.
Information obtained during the readiness assessment will be used to develop a comprehensive training plan for the client.
Solution design is reviewed and validated by a team of subject matter experts
Once the design is validated, a detailed architecture review meeting will be held with the client to ensure concurrence.
As a result of the above actions, an implementation SOW can be generated with a very high level of accuracy.
 
 Project Approval & Establishment
Implementation SOW is presented to the client.
SOW will map back to the solution design, providing clear expectations of the tasks to be performed.
Once the SOW is approved, the implementation aspect of the engagement begins along with the following supporting activities:
 
  • Project Baseline is established
  • Change Management Process initiated
  • Regular status reporting begins, including issue tracking and resolution
  • Client Training Plan is approved and scheduling takes place

 Implementation Highlights
Software deployment as defined in the solution design document proceeds.

Customer support advocate is assigned and begins to track installation.

QA check points take place at a regularly scheduled interval to ensure standards compliance.
Client training and knowledge transfer begins.
At 30% of implementation completion, an architecture follow up review and update takes place to accommodate potential changes.
Client validates all work done in development environment and approves production deployment.
Production deployment takes place and performance is monitored and tuned.
 
 Project Closure Highlights
Solution is functioning in production, performance tuning has been completed and the details outlined in the solution design have been validated by the NuAxis QA team.
Client review meeting is held to go over the installation history and answer any questions.
Project is closed with signatures from NuAxis PM and Client Sponsor.
PM communicates closure to sales team and identifies any additional opportunities.
90 day post installation check up is scheduled.
PMR analysis is performed and reviewed with the client during the 90 day check up.
Recommendations for additional training, adjustments to operational procedures, and overall observations are discussed with the client during the 90 day check up.
Engagement Ends
 
 Documentation and Knowledge Transfer
One of the most critical aspects of any engagement is to ensure that the client has understanding and the capabilities to operate and manage the developed software.
The final delivery comprises comprehensive documentation to address system owners and end-users.
