Software Evaluation Services

In this changing world of software solutions evaluating or auditing an integrated business system is not easy. You watch software demonstration after demonstration. After a while all of the features and functions start to seem the same in your mind. You wonder how you will ever make the right decision. What should the criteria be? How should you weight the software? If your company is looking to purchase an integrated system solution, a complimentary package, or audit an existing system, we have a structured approach to make the job faster and easier for you. With the help of one of our system experts we will help your company accomplish the following:

1. Define Project Objectives - We work with you to help you define your business objectives for the project, identify potential benefit areas, develop an initial issues list, identify your project team, and lay out an initial project plan. This gives your team a clear answer to the question, "Why are we doing this project?"
2. Develop System Requirements - We do this by first asking you business and environmental questions which define the basic structure and characteristics of your company. Based on your answers, we then create a detailed master list of requirements. Each requirement is then ranked according to importance and relevance within your organization. We try to make everyone feel like they are part of a team. This way they will take ownership of the project because they each have a stake in seeing the project succeed. We also help you to identify those top requirements that can serve as "key issues" to "weed out" unqualified vendors. Instead of focusing on every single requirement during the first cut, these key issues allow you to focus on the "show-stoppers." This lessens the chance that an unqualified vendor will get a foot in the door.
3. Qualify Vendors or Approach - Next we look for software packages that meet your needs. You can have the assurance that you will not fail to consider a qualified package just because you haven't heard of it. We use the "key issues" that you defined earlier in the process to identify the 3 to 6 most qualified vendors based upon their capabilities. Using a data base we can search for basic information on a large number of software packages. With our extensive search skills, you can be certain that the 3 to 6 software packages that make it to your short list are all qualified to meet your functional requirements.
4. Develop the Request for Proposal - The Request for Proposal (RFP) allows you to evaluate and score each vendor's package. You can simply walk each vendor through your preliminary scoring to verify their capabilities. The vendor then answers the RFP and demonstrates the software packages ability to meet your organizations requirements. The RFP should be included as an attachment to the final contract for the selected vendor.
5. Verify Software Capabilities through Demonstrations - Now is your chance for you to see if the software package lives up to the vendors sales pitch. Not what he says it can do, but what you see it do. During each demo, you verify and clarify the vendor's responses to your RFP. Make sure the vendor uses examples from your organization. Here is your chance to really determine how each package meets your critical requirements.
6. Compare Vendors - At this point, you will have gathered all the raw data about each package that you need to make your decision. Using our cross system matrix you can score each vendor package function by function, module by module. Now you can isolate the strengths and weaknesses of each package. You can also compare the "look and feel," "user friendliness," vendor technical direction, and your comfort level with the vendor's post-sales support personnel. You should also check each vendor's references, and how long they have been in the market place. Now the choice is yours. You are now equipped to make a logical decision.
7. System Audit Deliverable – Determined and prepare written system status. Recommend improvements if required to the hardware, software and network required to support the organization efficiently.

MAA Implementation & Upgrade Methodology (MAAIM)

The Mitchell & Assocaites Implementation Methodology (MAAIM) has been developed to plan, manage, and deliver J.D. Edwards software solutions. It is based upon J.D. Edwards own standard OneMethodology implementation approach, but has evolved over the past 20 years to cope with the different situations that have been encountered during our numerous implementations. Our unique MAAIM process accelerates time-to-benefit for our clients as well as reduces their risk and exposure.

The MAAIM process addresses the areas of highest risk early in the implementation lifecycle. Our professionals begin by evaluating and analyzing your business processes and existing infrastructure to determine the most suitable solution architecture and design. They then develop, rigorously test and implement the resulting solution.

The strength of the Mitchell & Associates Implementation Methodology lies in its balance between flexibility and speed. The MAAIM process is flexible in that it allows our implementation professionals to refine requirements as the project evolves. Each of our clients has unique business requirements and we provide them with a solution tailored to their exact needs.

The MAAIM process is also fast. We leverage established implementation practices and templates to streamline activities - shrinking implementation times and reducing costs. Our unmatched experience with numerous companies allows the MAAIM process to be quickly adapted to the needs of our clients, no matter their size or industry. We utilize industry best practices to eliminate the root causes of implementation failure. Most importantly, it allows your organization to realize a faster ROI (Return on Investment).

What’s Important:
Improve productivity

Meet user expectations
Maintain system flexibility
Maintain schedule & budget

JD Edwards Training Services

Mitchell & Associates education covers the entire scope of J.D. Edwards software and can be delivered anywhere in the world. Clients often use our training services to augment or supplement training already provided by J.D. Edwards. Clients often advise us that they are overwhelmed with all of the information obtained in a standard JD Edwards training class. We understand there concern because JD Edwards is trying to impart a wealth of information and technology to its clients. Often it is too much information for a person to digest at one time and the topics need to be reviewed incrementally.

Although we offer full training classes most clients use our service in a one on one augmentation basis, but we also perform this same service on a group basis. The value in our classes comes in form of the instructor’s experience. They cover a wide range of business settings and the practical application of sophisticated technology. Working one on one at the client site while using examples directly related to their business, we have a history of playing a vital role in making business solutions work.

We think in terms of how this benefits our clients. We believe on-site consulting and training are the best techniques to use in an adult learning environment. Training should add value to your ongoing business without disrupting business as usual. We offer you the flexibility you need in choosing a training schedule. We'll work with you to arrange courses at your site with an emphasis tailored to your unique issues. By the end of the training, team members and users can gain the first-hand experience they need to become effective users in their own work settings. Our consultants combine years of industry experience with rigorous training to offer clients comprehensive J.D. Edwards product knowledge.
