20. Getting ready for changes in technology

21. Steps to Prepare for New Technology 1 Current State Review Gather a detailed understanding of how users currently conduct their key processes (e.g. statement processing, check deposits, well creation, check reconciliation, JIB processing)

22. Steps to Prepare for New Technology 2 Future State Interviews Interview key stakeholders to determine desired process models, system interactions, and other system capabilities. Help the vendor understand the end-state goal and list of pain points and gaps in current processes.

23. Steps to Prepare for New Technology 3 Develop A Data Dictionary Document the fields that the client uses within a business process in the existing system so that the vendor understands how data is consumed and structured to assist in mapping the client's attributes to the new vendor's application and processes. The data dictionary is limited to only core fields that are populated as part of the business processes defined in the functional scope.

24. Steps to Prepare for New Technology 4 Stakeholder Presentation Deliver a presentation to the key stakeholders describing the current state findings and high-level roadmap for future state implementation. Purpose is to inform the stakeholders of the current processes in a manner that provides requirements that the vendor needs to better scope the effort to move forward with implementing the new solution.

25. Steps to Prepare for New Technology 5 Implementation Using information uncovered during the discovery phase the implementation team moves into deployment of the solution. Typically this is broken down into multiple sprints which might include data migration (and data hygiene), system configuration, system customization,

26. Steps to Prepare for New Technology 6 Testing Prior to full deployment it’s important to perform pilot and parallel testing. In pilot testing you select a smaller segment of the business to test the new system. Parallel testing ensures that the system requirements are met. Once testing is validated, the project team is poised to shift over to release of the system.

27. Steps to Prepare for New Technology 7 Training Start early! For example, develop an information and training strategy for users in the pilot testing group. This gives you the opportunity to address and alleviate user concerns and show users how ultimately the system will improve their workflow, gaining early support from the people who will be using the system every day.
