STEP 2 Integration timeline


Introduction


Each project is unique and has its own specifics. While starting the implementation process it’s important to define the business cases you want to achieve and deadlines you want to reach. As you have only 2 months for the Synerise implementation and ROI report, the common mistake you might make is to focus too much on the integration checklist itself and through the whole team on the integration tasks in order to finish them asap.

On the one hand, such approach is great, because having all of the integrations from the beginning, you’ll have the full freedom in the use cases launch later on.

On the other hand, you have 2 month to show the ROI. If you focus all of the resources on integrations, you might not have time to deliver the business value. There might be different unexpected challenges during the integration process that might block you from moving from integration phase to use cases one ( for e.g. you want to integrate your SMTP with Synerise. Integration itself will be done in a few minutes, however it might turn out that your SMTP is not prepared for the mass mailing and you’ll need to increase the limits/ capacity, which might take time).

Solution:

Below, you’ll find a timeline that will address all of the initial integrations but those are chosen the way that will allow you to launch business use cases almost immediately. You’ll start from the simpler integrations or the ones that will allow you to achieve KPI’s faster. You’ll work simultaneously on integrations and delivering business results.

Best practices


Best practices before the project starts:

Arrow down iconAt the beginning of implementation process there will be an integration phase. The developer on the client side should be available during this process.
