From simple plug and play installs to complex integrations, we guide our clients through every step of the deployment process to ensure a successful engagement. Every time.
Discovery
Starting with a deep-dive interview with the project stakeholders, Sphere will define specific requirements and create a scope of work with detailed delivery expectations.
Analyze and Design
Our collaborative teams kick off the project to discuss workflows and timelines. A detailed solution design is also presented for approval by the client.
Configure
Our developers configure the application and develop the required customizations and integrations. Project team training also starts, along with functional testing of the early build.
Validation and Verification
The pilot version of the software is completed. Final changes are introduced and the initial go-live prep work is conducted. Sphere will also train all expected users of the ERP.
Go Live and Optimization
The project team launches the new ERP system and closes out all staging environments. The project enters into a support and debugging phase, along with any post-launch optimizations. Phase 2 deployments are started, as applicable.

Implementation approaches
Client-Led Implementation
Sphere does a simple discovery with the client to collaboratively map out the project and requirements. The client then progresses at their own pace primarily using their own resources, with Sphere providing key guidance, advice and consultation as needed.
Quick-Start Implementation
This mid-range implementation option allows for a quick timeline using configured templates and a streamlined version of Sphere's implementation guidance and project management. There is typically little to no customization in this option, and the client is required to be heavily involved.
Full Implementation
Sphere's full-service implementation process includes discovery, project management, configuration, data conversion, testing, training, go live support and leading our clients through the entire journey to successful go-live.
