Build and Deploy:                     Turning Strategy into Action

Now that we’ve finished the Analysis and Design (A&D) phase, what’s next?  Let’s start building!  During the A&D phase, we often develop targeted demos, proofs of concept, and other components to guide discussion and feedback. These serve as the foundation for building your new Microsoft 365 solution.  We build on the excitement generated during A&D to drive adoption ensuring a smooth transition to your new environment.  

At Procise Solutions, our build and deploy phase is where design becomes reality. It’s where your vision is transformed into a modern, working environment that supports your business goals.  Backed by a clear roadmap developed during the analysis and design phase, we take a structured, collaborative approach to ensure your Microsoft 365 environment is built with precision and deployed with minimal disruption.

Deployment with Adoption in Mind 

A well-built solution is only as good as its adoption. That’s why our deployment strategy is centered around successful user adoption.  This includes:  

  • Change Management built into the process 
  • User involvement from the beginning to boost commitment 
  • Wireframe pilots to test and refine 
  • User Training to build confidence 
  • Communication strategies 
  • Coordinated Rollout with ongoing support

We don’t just deliver a tool; we help you create a better way to work.  

Testing and Validation 

Ensuring that the solution works as intended is key to the success of the project. Our team conducts thorough functional testing as we build and develop various components of your solution.   We work closely with your team to perform user and acceptance testing as part of the adoption and rollout process. 

Adoption and Change Management 

Implementing Microsoft 365 is a large project that will have an impact on all users in your organization. To ensure a smooth transition, we collaborate with your strategy team to facilitate the best possible user adoption.  This includes ongoing communication with users to set expectations and prepare them for change.  

Project Management 

Our project managers oversee every aspect of the build and deploy process. They provide regular status reports and lead ongoing meetings, serving as the primary point of contact with our clients to ensure a consistent and seamless experience. They are responsible for keeping the project on schedule, within budget, and aligned with all deliverables. Committed to excellence, our project managers ensure a high-quality experience from start to finish. 

Prepared for What’s Next 

The build and deploy phase is a significant milestone, but it's only the beginning.  With your Microsoft 365 environment live, we help you transition into our Support and Managed Services offerings. This ensures that your platform continues to evolve alongside your business needs.
