Our Approach

## How an Engagement Works

The same five stages apply to every platform, so you always know what comes next.

**Engagement stages**
| Stage | What happens |
| 1. Discover | Workshops and process mapping with the people who do the work. We record what happens today, where it breaks and what must not change. |
| 2. Scope and propose | A written scope with modules, integrations, data to migrate, roles, assumptions and a phased plan, so cost and effort are visible before you commit. |
| 3. Configure and build | Set-up, workflows, approvals, reports and integrations built in a test environment and reviewed with your team in short cycles. |
| 4. Test and train | Scenario testing with your own data, role-based training and a go-live checklist agreed with the business owner. |
| 5. Go live and support | Cut-over planning, hyper-care after launch and an ongoing support arrangement for changes, users and reports. |
