What sets Agile apart from other enterprise application

• Agile is fundamentally designed to be easily deployed and maintained–Agile Pre-set configuration based on Industry Best Practices

• A byproduct of hundreds of successful deployments

• Culture of very little customization (95/5 rule)

• Accelerates the solution validation

–Accelerated deployment ability lends to increased user acceptance and transfer of ownership

• Evolution & expansion of solution in accordance with organizational readiness

–Standards-based integrations to ERP and CAD systems

• Agile platform is very flexible and can support customer evolving needs

–J2EE platform

–Agile Integration Framework


Deployment Philosophy

• Deliver in 3 to 4 months per phase

• in Phase 1, focus on the capabilities that brings the maximum ROI

• Present Industry Best Practices while gathering the business requirements and designing the solution

• Minimize the customizations (95/5 rule)


Key Variables that Impact Implementations

• Organizational Change Management–Must be included in every deployment plan

–Develop an end users readiness plan (Assess – Communicate – Train)

• Business Process – Design and configuration in parallel–Design and develop the solution based on Industry Best Practices

and well understood customer constraints

–Define at the project kick off an approval and escalation processes to allow rapid decisions

• Data Migration

• Integration–Design the Data flows and systems interfaces in parallel of the

business process design

–Deploy as much as possible standard adapters
