Implementation
The FreeBalance i3+qM methodology guarantees that FreeBalance implementations will be on-time and on-budget. FreeBalance works with government teams and partners to implement FreeBalance Accountability solutions following proven deployment and good government practices.
I. Project Management Services- provide product and project coordination for implementation success and reduced risk.
- FreeBalance Program Management Office (PMO) - is responsible for project, quality and product management.
- Project Plan - The Project Plan is a formal document approved by the government customer to guide project execution and project control. It clearly identifies roles, responsibilities, tasks, and work deliverables within a project schedule. Risks are described and methods for change management are provided.
- Project Initiation - acts as the Project Charter that provides guidance in making project decisions and collaboration with the customer team
II. Solution Implementation Services- bring government good practices into project management.
- Public Finance Requirements - templates identify objectives, analyze current processes to compare with good government practices, and the phases for a sequenced multi-step implementation.
- Project Execution- manage progressive approvals, monitor changes and ensure communications with government customers.
- Government Good Practices templates follow international standards and best practices for fiscal and performance management.
III. Solution Integration Services - support the unique requirements for each government implementation, including localization, configuration and integration with other systems.
- Country-specific Functionality of the FreeBalance Accountability Suite- software localization, translation, and configuration. FreeBalance uses a unique method for rapid translation into local languages, terminology adaptation and integration with third party systems such as customs management or bank interfaces.
- FreeBalance Deployment - the FreeBalance Accountability Suite is deployed within the government test and production environment to test country-specific functionality and software configuration. FreeBalance provides data migration services as well.
- IT Infrastructure - FreeBalance assists governments in provisioning the appropriate network and computing infrastructure. The FreeBalance® Accountability Suite can be optimized to operate within even the most basic technical infrastructures, including low bandwidth networks.
IV. Solution Acceptance Services- provide the quality assurance necessary to move the software configuration into a production environment.
- Formal Acceptance Testing - performed by the FreeBalance and government civil service teams.
- Environment Readiness - assurance that the production computing infrastructure is adequate for the expected usage of the software.
- Capacity Transition - provides a smooth path of transition making sure that the government civil service team can operate and maintain the software.
- Project Close-out - brings the software configuration into the production environment. Many implementations have multiple phases. The end of one phase may initiate the next phase
