IKON's Methodology
Phase 1 :
Assess
The objective of this phase is to understand current Business Environment,
Processes followed, Tools & Solutions Used, Compliance and adherence of
Best Practices, Gaps and Leakages, Additional Requirements and Key Resources,
Roles & Responsibilities. An understanding document will be prepared highlighting
details for review.
Phase 2 :
Review
The objective of this phase is the review the findings, deliberate solutions
and prepare documentations for change management for all the key areas of assessment.
Phase 3 :
Planning
The objective of this phase is to prepare a detailed step wise plan with
defined milestones for the project. All the project team members are briefed
and made to understand the road ahead, Define Roles and responsibilities,
Define Schedules, milestones and acceptance criteria, Define protocols and
tools for team communication and plan for procurement and provision of hardware,
software as needed.
Phase 4 :
Design
The objective of this phase is to create various process designs focusing
first on the business processes (who, what, why, when, how) and second on
the IT systems and infrastructure. The Project team will identify the roles
and responsibilities of resources involved for each process, the documents
and information that they deal with, and how/what other IT systems are engaged.
The Project Team will design processes in synergy with business goals for
document and information/data capture, data validation, business rules,
workflow, process automation, systems integration, user responsibilities,
access rights, systems and workflow monitoring and optimization. Completion
of this phase occurs when the client has reviewed the analysis and solution
design document and provides a approval for implementation to begin.
Phase 5 :
Develop
The objective of this phase is to develop solution in line with design and
have it tested for all parameters.
Phase 6 :
UAT
The objective of this phase is to deploy the solution in a simulated business
environment and configure all aspects of the solution. The Client and the
Project Team will test the solution will own acceptance testing (test cases,
acceptance test planning and execution) and communicate gaps to validate
against the proposed requirements. All documented gaps will be addressed
prior to Implementation of Go-Live Instance. The Client provides completion
report and approval for Implementation of Go-Live Instance.
Phase 7 :
Implement
The objective of this phase is to install, configuration and Implement the
solution and processes.
Phase 8 :
Training
The objective of this phase is to train the resources on the Solution and Processes
Phase 9 :
Go-Live
This is the last phase, where in the trained resources will use the system
for live transactions. The Project Team and Client Team will jointly monitor
the process for smooth transition. The project will be handed over to the
client and signoff taken
