Deploying new technology - switching legacy systems off and shiny new ones on - is the most important (and nerve-wracking) step in any IT project. Because of this, Gradian has developed a specialised methodology to deliver a truly stress-free service.
We believe that the secret to a successful migration or introduction of new technology has three main components:
- A comprehensive understanding of the previous environment and goals of the project
- A careful and staged deployment of new technology
- World class aftercare
At Gradian we employ a “cradle to the grave” approach. We’re with you from the very beginning of your project, where, as an independent consultant, we will guide you towards the technology that is the perfect fit for your organisation and project.
“Gradian know all of the products that we have in place, exactly where they are in their lifecycle and the best new innovations we should be considering as replacements. We’re never left wondering ‘where do we go next?’ as Gradian are ready to guide us toward the right solution.”
Roland Amos, Head of IT Infrastructure at PHS Group
After the initial planning stages to scope and design the project, we’ll guide you through a careful pilot. We’ll help you select a small group of users to start using the new platform/technology in a fully supported environment, and will monitor progress and feedback to inform the next stages of the project.
We typically stage our deployments (dependant on size and scope) from two up to 12 days, and everything we do follows the PRINCE2 Project Management Methodology – used by the UK Government and internationally across the private sector.
“The nice thing is we didn’t have to suddenly switch this on. Being able to slowly build up our user base, run a pilot and a staged an initial pilot of 20 users including nine partners was a huge success, and the firm is now ready to implement the technology across all remote users.”
Derek Fox, Network Administrator at Travers Smith
One of the most important aspects of our approach is continuity – although we have specialist pre-sales, deployment and service teams you’ll benefit from all of this seamlessly, through your dedicated account manager.
To discuss your IT goals and find out how we can help you achieve them, contact your regular Gradian account manager, or contact us.
