- Ensure that each client's solution is correctly structured, implemented, and deployed
- Initiate Implementation
- Once the pre-sales team has successfully closed the deal or a new proof-of-concept has been initiated, the Implementation Specialist is responsible for acting as the primary point of contact for the new customer or prospect and initiating the implementation process as quickly as possible
- Discover Customer Needs and Goals
- While receiving a lot of information from the pre-sales team, the implementation specialist delves deeply into the requirements, needs, and desires of the client, collects all the missing information, performs the final mapping of the process and structure, identifies the client's priorities, and determines the implementation success criteria
- Configure TargetProcess Solutions
- Once the customer's primary goals are identified, the Implementation Specialist will use this information to create a custom TargetProcess solution, that is, customize the tool according to the customer's needs. Building a solution involves activities such as installing solutions from templates, creating custom views, reports, dashboards, configuring process parameters, setting up integrations with external tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, etc.
