IMPLEMENTATIONS OF MAJOR SYSTEMS

IHS' primary role in an implementation is to help your staff use information systems to improve operations. We focus on staff development to ensure systems are used effectively to meet strategic and operational goals. IHS assigns its consultants to specific functional areas based upon their backgrounds and experiences, which allows us to work hand-in-hand with your operational staff to meet these goals.

IHS' nine-step implementation process includes:

1. Pre-implementation planning
2. Project management and organizational approaches
3. Vendor relations and coordination
4. Implementation planning and support
5. System design
6. Integrated testing
7. Procedure and system documentation and training
8. Operational transition
9. Post implementation support
