Successful adoption of a product often has less to do with the product than with the deployment process. You can give a person the best automobile in the world, yet if they don't know what its used for or how to drive it, it becomes the worst automobile. The same goes with software solutions. The key to success is the process you use to roll-out the solution. We have learned from over 1000 deployments the best practices you need to follow for success.

Since our SP Workplace Solutions are built on top of Office 365 and SharePoint, it is important for your users to have some basic understanding of the SharePoint and Office 365 Services to get the most out of the solution. A Deployment plan should include:

- Roll it out across the organization
Choose your level of work you do versus by our experts
We believe that you should have a choice in how much you do versus how much we provide with Services. We offer two levels of Deployment Service. Quick Start is our basic deployment service that includes installation, configuration and Admin training. Then your Admin does the rest of the deployment plan including training, data migration and roll-out. Those customers who have successfully been using SharePoint in their organization may consider this limited service. Though the resource needs to have time set aside to perform the actual deployment tasks.
Full Start Deployment Service goes beyond Quick Start to lead your team through a full roll-out of your SP Marketplace Application. If your team has never deployed a SharePoint Application before, you should consider this service. Using a best practice project plan, our experts guide your team through the steps of setting up your organizations look and feel, content, documents, processes and security for the SP Workplace Solution. Using a combination of online video training, work sheets and live work sessions your team will be taken step by step through the process of setting up and rolling out your new Digital Workplace on Office 365.
