Techgine Information system (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Techgine”) is a high-tech enterprise who is specialized in enterprise management software R&D. Techgine is committed to provide professional, comprehensive and customized solution of information technology applications to enterprises. Responsible for enterprise information technology constriction, through the combination of the advanced management concepts and the softwares, Techgine continuously improves the enterprise management level and the core competencies.

　　5-step implementing method is the way to carry out Techgine softwares.

　　After the long-term software project implementation, Techgine technicians summarize the operating policy and plan in all circumstances according to the project specific implementing situation and the enterprise managing status. It includes a serious of rules and norms of the implementing work , such as project organization, project scope goals, project management and quality assurance, implementing rules, business analysis, application system establishment, enterprise business transfer strategy, user training strategy, software line-up running, and strategy continuous improvement. We have formed a set of software product implementing methodology which suits for most enterprises, that is called 5-step implementing method.

　　5-step implementing method divides Techgine’s software product project implementation into five steps. For each implementing step, it defines the phase milestone. The achievement of each milestone means the project will enter into a new implementing stage. Each implementing phase requires the clear definition of the tasks, and the detailed and clear requirements of working rules, responsible person, assessment standard, resource duration and cost limitation for all the tasks. This ensures the implementation done orderly towards the right direction. The 5 specific implementing steps are defined as follows:

Step 1: Project Planning

　　This stage is the necessary preparation and publicity work for the projection start, and the establishment of project organization, jobs, job responsibility, project quality assurance, and many systems such as censorship system, job reporting system, conference system, issue management system. The qualified project manager is chosen by both parties, the project implementation team is co-founded,; the entire project implementation plan is planned, and the project start is actively promoted and organized, in this stage. The purpose is to let the customer’s senior staff even the whole employees have a clear understand of the project implementing process and the methods, then working together to push on the project process.

Step 2: Business Analysis

　　This phase indicates the substantial period of the project implementation, and mainly focuses on the investigation and analysis of the specific business. The 5-step implementing method requires to make out the formal and detailed business research and analysis reports, confirm the software and hardware environment of the installation, install and test the product and system environment, and offer system administrators the related knowledge and skill training, in order to help customers to establish the complete system operation management system, then make it under control.

Step 3: System Configuration

　　After the system requirements clarified, 5-step implementing method requires the detailed design of the enterprise business model plan, the detailed design of management object, management service, business units, business workflow, user reports, input and output format, system function and the security plans authorized by enterprise resource, etc.. Meanwhile, this method establishes the software operating environment with implementation and verification function for enterprises, finishes the software system test and integration test process in the enterprises, and guarantees the system line-up stability and applicability. After discussion, test, revise and improvement of the contents of the enterprise business solution, the “software standard operation manual” is created. The 5-step implementing method helps customers set up all kinds of systems which are for system stable operation, build internal support system, complete the basic data preparation, do permission plan and distribution, and train the end-users of each position, etc..

Step 4: Online Operation

　　The implementation of this phase is the preparation for the system online test. It requires the user data of each business subsystems. It includes inputting the initial data, data from the 3rd-party or electronic documents, then letting a small number of users to run the system for specific business work. After the trial run success, there are lots of extensive training for the system official run, via which, the enterprise relevant working persons can be familiar with the new system, and know the improvement of the working method and efficiency compared with the original work. Furthermore, we offer lots of training activities of business workflow, system operation and technical maintenance, to make the working persons fully understand and master the new system.
　　 System online marks the official operation of the system. This phase needs to verify the correction of the new system business process, the reasonableness of the business workflow, and the enterprise preparation when the system switches, during which, it includes the job creation, the duty description, the new work policy work out, and the new workflow set down, etc..
　　After the new system comes to ordinary running, the method turns to emphasize the standardization and integrity of the project documentation and technical information, and the acceptance of the projects by establishing the complete project criteria. It makes each job reach the required status for all preparation of the formal transfer to the customers by creating the various management rules and regulations of the new system, establishing the job practices, writing system maintenance manuals, and finishing the end-user training.

Step 5: Acceptance and Transfer

　　For the continuous improving strategy of the project implementation, Techgine established the perfect system operation maintenance and the service process of business requirement improvement, which fully embodies the software service sense. By the sophisticated software service processes, Techgine offers a variety of on-site, remote or on-line technical support, requirement improvement and the system optimizing services. Then, Techgine prepares the documentation for check and acceptance, organizes the working group, confirms the procedure and hands over documents to the customers.
　　The above 5 implementing steps are the core workflow of Techgine 5-step implementing method. In order to ensure the work orderly, The method focuses on the integrity and systemic of the implementation, therefore, the method also emphasizes the four support processes for the work quality. These four support processes work through the entire life cycle of the Techgine software project implementation, which is defined as follows:

1. Project Management :

　　Project management is the basic working support process of the method. This process emphasizes the necessity and importance of the project plan, control, follow and communication. For each implementing activity of Techgine software projects, the method requires to establish the project management regulations and rules, such as detailed project plan, project control, project communication, project management, to ensure the target realization by importing scientific project management technology and tools.

2. Quality Control :

　　The method makes the quality control as one of the overall project implementing support processes. The quality control requires the important quality assurance work such as quality assurance planning, control, audit, of each implementing step during the project implementing lift cycle.

3. Risk Management :

　　Risk management is part of the project management, and one of the overall project implementing support processes. In order to emphasize the importance of the risk management in enterprise information construction and implementation process, it’s necessary to carry out the systematic prediction and management of the project implementing risk, which includes the key risk management activities as risk recognition, risk analysis, risk control, project change, program updates.

4. Allocation Management :

　　As one of the overall project implementing support processes, allocation management controls all the work result from the project implementing processes, which includes results of each stages like documentation, software running version, and the significant change issues of the projects as well. Allocation management effectively solves the project result version confusion problem caused by the factors like “simultaneous update”, “limited notification” and “multiple versions”. The key allocation management activities include establishing allocation management plan, environment, and managing the work results of each implementing stage, etc., at the first beginning.
