Whether you’ve recently implemented your Radley solution or have been running our software for years we want to ensure you are getting the most out of your investment. Rolling out a new system can be a big effort involving numerous levels of management, staff and most often multiple vendors and consultants. With the focus generally on the end game, going live with your new solution, it’s not uncommon for some details to get lost along the way. Circling back after initial implementation and annually thereafter can help you ensure you and your staff are up to date on general use, troubleshooting and reporting issues, upgrades and potential process gaps.
Know Your Solution
You’d be surprised how often we get a call from customers who just implemented their solution and they inquire if they can do something, run a certain report or perform a specific transaction and we inform them that the functionality is present and active. Sometimes the caller wasn’t involved in the training or was brought into the project towards the end. A lot of the time, they just don’t remember! Even more common is staff turnover, when the project lead or person(s) who received training is no longer with your company. While we do our best to provide comprehensive training and instruction on our software, sometimes one session just isn’t enough, especially during that hectic implementation period.
- Keep a copy of your project’s Statement of Work for reference
- Utilize EDI on-line documentation
- Schedule bi-annual training refreshes
Gap Analysis
To our long time, loyal Radley customers we ask “How has your business changed since you purchased and implemented our software?” When your processes and requirements evolve more than likely your software will need to as well. Engaging in a gap analysis also brings visibility to undocumented processes and areas for improvement.
- Labeling requirements
- Trading Partners
- Compliance
- Additional facilities
- Reporting
- Aging hardware
- New ERP transactions
Upgrades & Patches
Another way to ensure you are getting the most out of your investment is staying up to date with available patches and upgrades. If you aren’t sure what version you are running or if there are any updates for your specific solution, be sure to reach out to Support or your designated Account Manager.
