The biggest difference between collana diva and the Microsoft standard are the features that are explicitly tailored to e-commerce, which either cannot be implemented at all via Business Central or can only be implemented with a great deal of manual effort. Here is an overview:

Implementation

Project management: How we work

1. workshops

In this initial phase, we analyse your existing processes and compare them with the collana diva standard. We identify deviations (delta) so that we can make a well-founded assessment of the budget and project duration.

2. setup & development

Following is the actual implementation: we set up your system, realise the defined requirements, carry out the necessary data migration from legacy systems and ensure the connection of relevant 3rd-party systems.

3. training

Using the train-the-trainer principle, our experts train the key users in your specialist areas. This enables them to carry out the upcoming integration tests independently and safely. This saves you significant costs in the long term.

4. testing

In this phase, we simulate live operation. We test the system in an interactive test environment on the basis of the jointly created core process matrix with the most important business transactions.

5. cut-over & go-live

We jointly develop a cut-over plan for the start of productive operation. This defines the chronological sequence of all tasks, assigns clear responsibilities and coordinates the deployment of our team on site.

6. hyper-care & get-well

After the go-live, we support the stabilisation of your system and the optimisation of processes. As unexpected constellations can always occur during live operation, we react quickly and adapt processes accordingly.
