Implementation Services by Skyway Consulting Co.:

Our team specializes in the tailored setup of Smartsheet and GIS systems to suit the unique requirements of your energy projects. We focus on three key areas:

• First Build: Ideal for businesses new to Smartsheet or GIS, we establish foundational infrastructure and workflows, ensuring a solid start for efficient project management.
• Rebuild: For companies looking to overhaul an existing process or system, we provide comprehensive restructuring, aligning your Smartsheet or GIS setup with updated operational goals and use cases.
• Additional Build: When you need to expand or add new functionalities to your current setup, we seamlessly integrate these additions, enhancing your system’s capabilities without disrupting existing workflows.

Our implementation services are designed to align with your specific needs, whether you’re starting from scratch, revamping an existing system, or scaling up your operations.

• • Our Process Includes 5 Simple Steps
    • 1. Consultation. This includes two – 30-minute consultations.
    • 2. Discovery. This is where you will hand over the keys. Our team will study your workflows, data structures and use cases.
    • 3. Design. After our team has reviewed your workflows, we will design a solution. Our designs are comprehensive in report style with workflow diagrams and step by step implementation instructions.
    • 4. Development. This is where the process becomes very hands-on. With your help, or your designee, we will build out your new system.
    • 5. Deployment.
      • Testing and Quality Assurance: Before going live, we conduct thorough testing of the integrated system. This includes checking for data accuracy, workflow functionality, and overall system performance to ensure everything operates smoothly. Official Testing Reports will be provided.
      • Training and User Onboarding: We provide comprehensive training sessions for your team, ensuring everyone is comfortable and proficient with the new tools. Training is tailored to different user roles and skill levels for maximum effectiveness.
      • Go-Live Support: When the system goes live, our team provides hands-on support to address any immediate questions or challenges. This support is crucial for ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing disruptions to your operations.
      • Post-Deployment Review: After the system is operational, we conduct a post-deployment review to assess system performance and user adoption. This helps in identifying any areas for improvement or additional training needs. Additionally, the need for an ongoing maintenance plan will be reviewed. Our implementation projects do not require ongoing support after the work is completed and we will work to help you become self-sufficient unless you request maintenance and support specifically.
