... from the Beginning

Before we begin working together, the basic requirements of the project will be clarified in a kick-off event in order to guarantee the success of the project on both sides. The exact project workflow will then be determined and concrete goals and milestones defined. Finally selected KeyUsers will be trained to use the software by keytech experts. They will then be in the position to transfer their daily tasks to keytech and to make a purposeful contribution to framing the requirement.

Seamless Operation in all Project Phases

To make the most of the individual DMS or PLM software, the next step for keytech is to prepare a thorough specification together with the customer that records all the requirements and will provide guidance during the implementation. During the next project phase keytech will set up a test system that simulates the various functions and checks the functionality of all work steps. This test run is essential for the production start and guarantees a seamless operation. Also when your personal product management system goes live keytech is on your side and ensures a successful start.

Five Steps to Success

1. Kick-Off

Your start to a successful Project

During the kick-off, in addition to the mutual introduction of the respective project managers and the common definition of the general requirements, the focus at this stage is to get to know the customer and its operations. Mutual understanding is the basis for the targeted definition of the requirements and ultimately the success of the project.

Introduction of the project scope and definition of milestones
Getting to know customer operations

2. KeyUser

Competent Points of Contact within Your Company

Specially selected KeyUsers will be trained to work with the software and will learn how to complete their tasks using the software. They are thus making an important contribution to the definition of their company-specific operations with keytech. Later they will be the first point of contact for questions within your company. Resistance to change is thereby reduced and acceptance of the new software is increased.
