Professional, Experienced and Independent Project Managers

When you are planning your next major upgrade, or if there is a significant merger on the horizon, consider the value of having a seasoned veteran at the helm of your project team. Our senior project managers bring years of experience to your project and can contribute to your success on several levels:

- Detailed project plans and schedules that build on past experience
- Field tested QA procedures
- Familiarity with, and recommended workarounds for known issues
- Access to technical "SWAT" team to contain and focus on urgent issues
- Candid assessment of risks, options and tradeoffs
- Experience and authority for effective project leadership

Rapid Deployment of Special Teams

Mergers are often complex projects with brutal schedules. The dramatic increase in workload, coupled with the dire consequences of failure, can stress your in-house accounting and IT staff to the breaking point. When Data Fusion accepts a mission critical assignment, we can send in a crack team of professionals to develop and execute a plan of attack. We have high-level experts in project management, conversion programming, data validation, balancing, templates, and custom reporting. These skills are essential for quickly and accurately combining the accounting history of two firms into one seamless system.

Look Before You Leap

You want to take advantage of all of the latest features in the Elite system, but you don't want to jeopardize the stability of your current operation with a hasty migration. Our upgrade project managers have been through it all before and can help ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your billing operation. From planning to testing, programming to training, we can support your in-house team with the resources you need to safely bring your system up to date. Just having an independent assessment of the proposed new combination of hardware, operating systems, database software, compilers and application code can reduce unwanted surprises.

Elite Specialists

With Data Fusion project management, you can get the best of both worlds: professional, experienced project managers and Elite specialization. Our project managers not only have years of Elite experience themselves, but we have a deep "bench" of programmers and technicians that work exclusively with Elite. Improve your odds of success by starting with people that know the product and work with it every day.

Many Elite upgrades and other general maintenance projects are routine and do not require outside assistance. However, if your project has a tight schedule, complex specifications or extensive customization, expert help can improve your odds of success. Let us bring our concentrated Elite product knowledge to bear on your next challenging upgrade, merger or other special project.
