arcplan breaks an implementation into small, manageable projects with immediate results and ROI for your company. Central to this approach is the hands-on involvement of the end users. In our 17 years of experience with over 3,000 customers, we have learned that their involvement guarantees that the right information is communicated to the right people, and in a practical format they can use in their daily business.

It doesn't matter how complex your technical infrastructure is or where your data resides. Leveraging the advanced graphical interface of arcplan Enterprise, arcplan consultants work closely with your end users and application developers to rapidly create analytic applications that are a perfect fit for your unique business.

arcplan's consultants guide clients in the design, development, and delivery of their solutions utilizing arcplan's Implementation Methodology (AIM). Clients are actively involved and informed every step of the way thanks to a client communication methodology that is embedded in AIM.

AIM is arcplan's evolutionary prototyping methodology specifically designed to quickly and effectively specify, design, develop, and deploy arcplan Enterprise analytical applications. It is composed of the following phases:

• Discovery – the project and its success criteria are planned
• Prototype – architecture and systems are evaluated and a prototype is built
• Refine – data structures and the system are finalized
• Validate – unit, system and user testing is completed
• Launch – standard operating procedures are developed and knowledge is transferred to client's team. The application goes live.
