Our expert support and consulting staff provide a comprehensive and encompassing service to get your new CostCon system up and running. The project is typically spread over a few months and includes:
Scope
We undertake a detailed scoping analysis to understand how we can bring across as much core information from your current systems and what will be required to train and assist your accounting and PM/QS staff in using CostCon.
Installation
We will work with your IT provider to install CostCon on your network and set-up the remote support mechanism.
Integration
We will work closely with your accounting and QS staff to extract the necessary core data from your existing systems and import that into your new CostCon system. We have an extensive kitbag of tools to map information from common accounting and jobbing systems – this means you don’t have to re-enter information into CostCon.
Format
Back at our office, we will set-up your new CostCon database with the required Company/Division/Cost Centre structure, the agreed back costing and job management structures and your supplier and customer records.
Training
At the agreed cutover point, we will undertake the basic training including: CostCon basics, Accounting functions and Job Management. Training is typically spread over a number of weeks. The training is a mix of “group instruction” and one-on-one individual assistance.
Review
At around three months of use, we’ll sit down with your management team and review the reporting options and tailor the format to suit your reporting requirements.
We understand that introducing a comprehensive new system is a significant undertaking for any business. Our expert consulting team, who are undertaking these projects all the time, are therefore not only focused on the technical aspects of the process, but ensuring your staff are comfortable and confident in moving to the new system.
