The Leverage Methodology – EMPOWER

The primary purpose of an implementation methodology is to provide a structure and framework for getting you up and running with the solution as quickly and cost effectively as possible whilst minimising risk.

At Leverage, we use a 7 step methodology called EMPOWER because that’s exactly what it does – it empowers our project team (made up of people from Leverage and your key people) to drive a successful implementation delivered on time and on budget.
  1. E – Evaluate
  2. M – Map
  3. P – Plan
  4. O – Operationalise
  5. W – Work Packaging
  6. E – Execution
  7. R – Review

Each step in the process has a clear set of deliverables and is documented to ensure that everone is on the same page when it comes time to move to the next phase after successfully completing the previous phase. The definition of success is clearly documented and agreed in the team and any variations of scope, cost or timing are captured, communicated and agreed to.

This enables all of us to work in a “No Surprises” environment which makes for happy team members and a smooth implementation.

Full Disclosure

Every organisation you talk with about your new ERP solution will tell you they want to be your trusted partner…once you sign the order.

At Leverage, that partnership begins from the very first time you contact us and extends to sharing all the relevant documents up front, from pricing, to licensing agreements and product documentation – we call it Full Disclosure and its part of of our overall business ethos.

So to access the documents we use as part of our EMPOWER methodology please click here to download the documentation package in protected PDF formats. As part of your project kickoff, these will be tailored to your project so dont worry if it all seems a little overwhelming.

Like any good tradesperson, our project team only uses the tools needed for the job and that includes the components of the EMPOWER methodology – but its nice to know that there’s a complete process that covers all eventualities and that equals  Minimal Risk for you and us.

That is fundamentally what we do at Leverage Cloud Technologies – by using Cloud ERP Software from MYOB together with our years of experience – we  help our customers grow, maximise profit from their enterprise and give their employees the tools to do their work more effectively, efficiently and most importantly – enthusiastically!
