Implementation and Onboarding Services
|
Planview’s professional services team uses FastTrack, an analytics-first delivery model that enables customers to reduce risk and accelerate the implementation of their solutions. FastTrack packages are specifically tailored to target common organizational needs, and use a fixed-price, business outcomes-focused approach to quickly drive tangible results.
During your implementation, we work directly with you to identify the analytics and reporting that will deliver critical business insights. We then configure the capabilities of the solution, implementing integrations as necessary.
Post-configuration, our experienced consultants work with you to outline an implementation plan to deliver those capabilities and analytics. Finally, we help you determine how to best enable users through adoption programs and training to deliver and drive value and ROI.
