Developing a Pre-installation Analysis Plan (Fit Analysis) is an integral part of the Implementation Plan. This Fit Analysis includes a full assessment of how well the FacTS™ functionality matches the clients’ workflow and long term needs, and focuses on:

• Standardizing Business Processes
• Utilizing existing solutions
• Identifying Issues that need to be resolved at specific sites

After this analysis, we capture and record all fits, gaps, issues and assumptions associated with the use of FacTS™ to support the designated functions.

The last task is to develop the GAP Closure Plan. We identify options and alternatives to address gaps, determine cost and benefits associated with those options, estimate the resources required (for both client and Quantum Compliance Systems, Inc.) and assess the impact on the implementation schedule.

Now that the resources, scope of work, and the timing are established, the actual Implementation Plan can be finalized.

The Implementation Plan occurs in phases in order to provide for an orderly, manageable project. Using this approach, each time the client is exposed to a new suite/feature, they are able to build logically on the knowledge and experience gained with earlier suites/features.

The Implementation Plan defines the steps required to successfully install, initialize, and bring FacTS™ on-line. Due to the flexibility of FacTS™, Quantum Compliance Systems, Inc.’s clients typically start with a 90% Application Fit. The last 10% is the focus of data collection, initializing, validating and conducting performance review, and gaining acceptance.
