Implementation: Phase II
Ok, so this is my 2nd post. Whee!! So today has been somewhat painful for me. I'm sick, I have a flu but I have to go to work. I have a major implementation project to do and I have to make sure it is successful. This phase two of my project is basically the bread and butter of our account. The account I started. If this project is a success, it opens up possibilities and opportunities for the guys on the operations floor. Well...that and the fact that I'll be able to put this under my belt as one of my biggest successes.
The pressure has definitely been heavy. It's much heavier than phase 1. Let's put it this way, this time, it's implementation for both my client and my company. That and the fact that a lot of money is riding on this one...literally. Take a BMW salesman who's got a potential buyer checking out a 700 series. The buyer is 90% sold. All he has to do is take it for a test run. During the test run, you got one of the rims shooting off to one side, a few dashboard lights blink like crazy and smoke starts to come out of the hood. Now you've just lost a $80k deal that was right in the palm of your hands. Pretty heavy huh? Take that analogy for example and multiply it by 10. That's how heavy this project is. Did I mention that I'm all alone here in Irvine, California?
Well in any case, work is good. Really it is. I'm happy about it. I just wish that the client had certain processes already in place to make the transitions smoother. But then again, I should thank them for all the work. It builds character and it definitely builds skill and something to put on my resume.
