Documentation & Technical
Training

When a project wraps up and the consultants leave,
somebody has to take over. One of the biggest complaints we hear
about consulting is the inadequacy of knowledge transfer provided
by the consultants. DataMergence has gained a reputation for leaving
the customer with the knowledge required to provide ongoing support.
We do this by providing clear, detailed documentation of all software
installations, configurations, and customizations completed on customer
systems. We also provide thorough technical training by working
along side the customer's technical staff and providing them with
the resources and opportunities to get hands-on experience before
the consultant leaves. In addition, we strongly encourage our customers
to reserve at least 20 project hours for post-production go-live support.
We like to stay around long enough to make sure it works.
Some say this approach will put us out of business.
On the contrary, we've found that many customers prefer to call
us back for new projects, or to help train new technical staff.
We've also been happy to receive referrals as a result of this focus
on good customer service.
DataMergence provides the following knowledge transfer
services during all of our consulting engagements:
Design and Technical Specifications documentation

detailed software installation,
configuration and customization instructions
specific to the customer's systems, security specifications, instructions
for moving from development to QA to production, QA test instructions,
administrative procedures, and troubleshooting.
One-on-one or small group technical training for the
technical staff
that will be involved
in post-production support and/or ongoing
development
