Once sign-off is complete for the prototype, installation of the software in the production environment is begun. It is at this time that Ascendix will work in association with LAN Administrators to introduce the SalesLogix to the existing network. The program files are installed and thoroughly tested before customizations and changes defined in the prototype are implemented. All changes made at this point are documented in the blueprint and made in the development environment. Upon completion of testing the base install, the modules created in the prototype are added to the production installation.
Final approval is obtained and training is scheduled.
At this stage, the system is fully functional and is awaiting legacy system data to fully populate the database. Outlined in the application blueprint, all data sources have been identified and detailed as to layout, size, and ownership.
