Sharp-ax Implementation – Phased Structure

Our customers are busy and do not always have spare resource to implement a new computer system. We are conscious of the need to work with your staff to ensure a smooth flow of structured training working around your workloads.

To this end, we recommend a phased implementation.

Phase One – Implementation & Planning Day – Let’s get Started

The start of your initial training is the Implementation day when we identify how your business operates, the processes that you have in place and which processes you are looking to change and improve.

We will offer our recommendations drawn from Sharp-aX knowledge and a wealth of experience gained from other Sharp-aX system users over many years.

We will agree a schedule of who does what, when and where for both Sharp-aX and your company in order to meet your go live target without unnecessary stress.

Phase One – Implementation & Planning Day – Let’s get Started
Phase Two – Let’s get Live

Phase Two – Let’s get Live

The purpose of Phase Two is to get your staff trained and competent to go live with confidence. This means they will be knowledgeable on all ledgers: confident in sales and purchase order processing, goods in, returns, credits, cash collection and stock control.

Each training day will have an agenda with nominated personnel to be trained. We recommend that some of the training be given in Berkhamsted to avoid interruptions and allow total focus on new tasks. The day is recorded and signed off by you – the customer – with a section for your comments and feedback which we welcome.

Accounts people will be shown how to run financial reports / management accounting and VAT returns, transfer funds from bank account to bank account and to reconcile statements.

Training works best in small numbers and in 2/3 hour slots. This allows practise between sessions and different departments to be trained throughout the day.

Phase Three – Review & Establish Processes

We will review your processes and advise further improvements as appropriate.

Once live, your data will become meaningful and make sales and purchases reporting invaluable to you day to day and month to month, seeing trends in the form of Pivot tables and dashboards.

We will visit each department, checking for areas which could operate more smoothly and reviewing alternative methods.
