Implementation
Assistance
To
assure system success, InfoPower provides a complete compliment of implementation
assistance to its clients. These services include pre-sales consulting,
data conversion and training.
Pre-Sales Consulting
To
a high degree, the processes performed by licensing agencies and licensors for
that matter, are similar. The drafting of agreements, collection of
advances, periodic royalty collections, etc. What changes from agency
to agency is the internal systems and procedures for managing the licensing
operations. In many situations, due to lack of adequate system
capabilities, manual workaround procedures are employed. Tasks that could
and should be managed with the aid of computer based programs are
performed manually. Pre-sales consulting address
pre-implementation issues that represent obstacles in the existing procedures
and/or systems. By addressing such obstacles in the pre-sales
environment, disruption
and surprises are avoided during the implementation of the InfoPower Business
Licensing System.
Data Conversion
One of the major
implementation issues is loading information into the new system from existing
licensing systems, Microsoft Access or electronic
spreadsheets. InfoPower provides complete data conversion services,
making the switch from an existing system and manual procedures
effortless for our clients.
Training
Training is essential for the successful startup
and continued operation of any computer-based system. Assistance
from someone that understands both your business environment and how
the new software application can integrate existing practices into a
systems approach is invaluable. Implementing change is always a
challenge. However, when a software application, such as InfoPower, eliminates
many of the manual procedures resulting in an overall reduction in
effort, change is well worth the effort.
