Dashboard Deployment & Maintenance

Deployment and Maintenance comprise the final phase of a dashboard project.  In this phase we document deployment practices, user help, and maintenance procedures.  We then deploy the solution and provide on-going maintenance or provide training so the client can maintain the solution with internal resources.




  Document & Deploy
Prior to deploying the dashboard solution, we create a set of solution documents that include deployment and maintenance plans.  In some cases, customers also prefer to have a set of help documents written to address various technical and non-technical aspects of the system.

The deployment process can either be facilitated with an internal team and remote support or with an on-site BrightPoint engineer.  The goal in this phase, is to get the system up and running and make sure that the client is comfortable repeating the deployment procedure in the event that disaster recovery is needed.




  User Training
Most enterprise dashboard solutions offer many new and different views into business data that the end user has not seen before, therefore we recommend formal user training to help socialize the dashboards and make sure the end user is getting maximum benefit from the solution. 

We work directly with internal stakeholders to help create a user training program that is most often facilitated through internal HR or business teams.



  Maintenance
After the dashboard solution had been deployed, we perform a detailed review of the maintenance plan with the client to ensure their ability to maintain system availability, reliability, and performance.  These procedures include data archival, system backups, user maintenance and system tuning.

This maintenance plan can either be facilitated directly by the client or outsourced on as as-needed basis.
