Implementation Guide › Introduction › Solution Process

Solution Process

The solution process includes three basic stages:

• Planning and Design
• Implementation
• Installation and Deployment

The roles described previously participate in different stages of the implementation process, each according to their specialties. These roles interact to complete the whole process from beginning to end, from contractual definition to output report.

This guide is structured as role and process oriented, based on a general stages flow that builds the implementation process. It describes how each role is involved and how the roles interact.

The following paragraphs provide an overview of the stages included in the implementation process and the activities of each role.

The rest of the guide is structured by stage with an indication which roles participate in the stage. Each chapter indicates for each activity the role responsible for it.

Following is a brief description of the basic tasks of each phase and the functions of the different roles. Additional details can be found within each chapter.
