Allocate Software and MAPS Healthroster have both been a joy to install and work with. In part to well written software but mainly from the level of expertise you have brought to the job.

Implementation

MAPS Health Suite Implementation Services

The client services team at Allocate Software follow a proven implementation programme, ensuring customers benefit from a structured roll out of the relevant MAPS software suite. Working within a framework allows the client services team to rapidly deploy solutions, without sacrificing quality, whilst remaining flexible enough to accommodate customer’s unique feature requests.

Quick Wins
Rolling out the core MAPS software suite with minimal customization gives customers a fast, agile start to the project - and a rapid return on investment. This includes a pre-configured MAPS database, pre-defined business processes, and a project plan with tasks, roles and responsibilities already built in. As such, customers benefit from a cost effective roll out and immediate wins – with tangible operational benefits reached quickly in an implementation.

Structured Processes
Allocate Software provides structured implementation services, which typically consist of:

  1. A customer programme – with a programme made up of many phases.
  2. Programme phases – these phases contain many components.
  3. Methodology components – these components include pre-sales, mobilization, knowledge transfer, customization, transition and support.
  4. Roles, tasks and deliverables – each methodology component consists of roles, tasks and task deliverables.

Throughout this process, knowledge is transferred from Allocate Software to a customer’s key staff. In doing so, the customer is then able to operate and administer the MAPS suite in their own environment - without having to rely on Allocate Software.

Benefits to Customers
For customers, the tried and tested implementation services offer the following advantages:

  • The standard MAPS software suite configuration can be quickly rolled out.

  • The suite contains proven business processes built in, minimizing the need for customization.

  • This results in cost effective implementations and the early realization of operational benefits.

  • Custom feature requests are deployed using a structured design, build and test process.

  • During implementation, knowledge transfer quickly gives customers the necessary skills to use the MAPS Health Suite
