What does a Lift delivery look like?

With opportunities provided by our cloud sales org, the implementation team will engage with the customer to ‘unpack’ the business challenge (for example Analytics) and the pre sales for an architectural scope. Our Lift offshore team will define a delivery plan that you will align with the customer’s expectations. It is likely you will have already been engaged and built a relationship with the customer during the “sales cycle”. Once sales agree the contract, you will manage resources and ensure they deliver a short sharp ‘WOW’ delivery experience for our customers in approx. 50days.
