Implementation
Cerillion have an enviable track record with a 100% success rate of project delivery. The foundation for this success is the Cerillion Implementation Methodology, which is built on a heritage of Systems Integration projects tempered with pragmatism based on experience of successful Customer Care and Billing System implementations.

One of the major critical success factors in any implementation is maximising understanding between Cerillion and our Clients. To be successful this is maintained throughout the project lifecycle through frequent reviews and open, honest communications. Success is therefore linked not only to a structured project approach, but also detailed workshops with Clients early in the project to maximise mutual understanding.

Initial workshops focus on requirements analysis, infrastructure and installation analysis, migration strategy (if applicable), configuration and interface details, with all the information collated into a number of detailed plans and requirements documents which drive the overall implementation.

Migration
Cerillion have a wealth of experience in migration projects having migrated more than 2m subscribers from 12 different systems in 15 projects – including straight system replacements, and converging from multiple separate systems into a single Cerillion solution. This experience has enabled us to build up a robust set of tools and processes to manage this mission critical service.

Our proven methodology tackles all major migration challenges including business processes and staff training, systems integration, and of course the data migration itself. We also provide a number of cutover strategies from phased migration right the way through to big-bang migration, with checkpoints and fallback strategies at each stage in the process.

Support & Maintenance
Cerillion are renowned for providing support and maintenance services of the highest order. These services are based on standard offerings which can be tailored to the specific needs of customers on a case-by-case basis. These offerings normally cover second & third line support services for Cerillion products, as well as Help Desk facilities for third party products.

Support is headquartered alongside the development teams in London, however second line support can be provided through a network of regional support centres if required. Current regional locations include Florida, Jersey and Malta. Key staff from the support centre are involved during the implementation phase(s) to ensure continuity when projects transition to support.

Customers can gain advice and guidance on day-to-day use of the system through direct access to software support specialists providing advice on product configuration, defect correction and new software releases.
