At Phase 3 we have worked with over 700 businesses to implement a variety of HR, Payroll and Finance software solutions, giving us a wealth of experience in successful implementation projects. So much so that we literally wrote the book on it.
We partner with a number of technology suppliers and act as the implementation team or service integrator for their products. Our consultants have a wide range of experience with many of the leading solutions and are experts, not administrators.
As well as our partnerships, we offer independent expertise in a number of solutions including:
You will be assigned a named consultant (who is part of a larger team) who will be responsible for your day-to-day implementation. Our implementation as a service offering covers the entire implementation of the software including: Data Extract Transform and Load (ETL), solution design and scoping, configuration and build, process reviews, security and setup, communications and engagement, project management, training, testing, go live planning and rollout and lessons learned with a handover to business as usual (BAU) support.
Where the vendor has implemented the software, our team of implementation specialists can quality review the entire project and build, holding the supplier to the project plan and ensuring adequate resources have been applied from the supplier to ensure project success. This arrangement helps assure a robust implementation which is future-proof and fit for purpose.
Testing should always be carried out by the customer or a third party to avoid the software vendor being the ‘pupil marking their own homework’. Our independent test specialists will test your new solution, provide failure reports and recommendations for fixes, as well as ensuring the solution delivers against the agreed scope and design documentation.
They’ve taken a very difficult process and streamlined it from start to finish. We get hands on, practical support when we need it most. The team don’t just fix our issues for us, they break it down in a simple way so that we can learn from them at the same time.
Phase 3 supported us with the implementation of Sage Intacct, and their knowledge and understanding of the system and the implementation process was evident from the start. Meetings were clear, focused, and organised, and weekly project updates helped keep us on track. Changing accounting platforms is a big project, but the implementation services provided by Phase 3 helped speed up and streamline the process.
We have been very lucky to build a fantastic relationship with the team at Phase 3, from the outset of our Sage project, right through the implementation phase, and I am very glad to say that this has not changed with the handover to the managed service. The service we receive is nothing short of first-class! Phase 3 is by far one of the best consultancy companies I have ever worked with, which is a great testament to your amazing people!
The key thing to take away from working with Phase 3 is their customer service and ease of engagement, it always feels personal. I would highly recommend Phase 3 and their approach to supporting their clients.
Phase 3’s implementation-as-a-service approach covers the full project lifecycle. From scoping and solution design through data extraction, transformation and load (ETL), configuration and security setup, to testing, stakeholder communications, training and final rollout, all led by a named consultant responsible for your project success.
An implementation partner like Phase 3 brings expert methodologies, experienced consultants, quality assurance, and independent testing support, helping you avoid common errors, keep the project on track, and ensure the final solution meets the agreed scope. This reduces risk, accelerates delivery, and improves system adoption.
Yes. Phase 3 tailors implementation services to your organisation’s size, complexity, systems, and internal capabilities, ensuring the solution aligns with your business processes and objectives.
After go-live, Phase 3 provides post-implementation support, or hypercare, to resolve early issues, optimise processes, and ensure the system operates smoothly as it transitions to day-to-day use.
This step-by-step guide will cover everything you need to know to succeed in a system change. Gain the confidence to not only choose the best system for your team, but also to create a smooth transition to your new technology.
