The keys to a successful myCarto deployment
With over 200 myCarto implementations, we have developed a simple and effective methodology to ensure:
- Having a fully operational application in less than a month
- Maximizing the value of your existing repositories
- Adapting the application to your challenges and best practices
- Transferring skills for full autonomy within your teams
SMART Method to start using myCarto in less than 30 days
A successful myCarto deployment combines methodical planning, effective communication, and adaptability. Our project methodology follows the SMART approach:
- Specific: Each client has different resources and objectives. Deployment starts by aligning goals, allocated resources, and project phases.
- Measurable: The project is broken into iterative cycles, with tangible goals for measurable progress and team adoption.
- Achievable: The deployment is structured in phases with motivating milestones while keeping the overall objective in mind.
- Realistic: Our extensive experience allows us to offer ambitious yet achievable methodologies.
- Time-bound: The timeline is adapted to client availability and project engagement.
Key Implementation Steps
After the project kickoff, the following steps define the deployment process:
- Setting Up myCarto Environments
- Activating SaaS instance or on-premise installation based on the chosen architecture
- Deploying one or multiple environments (production, testing, training, etc.)
- Configuring in an iterative logic
- Workshops on meta-model selection (TOGAF, Archimate, Zachman, CIGREF, or custom frameworks)
- Integrating existing data and recovery models
- Advanced dashboard and map configuration
- User access rights and permissions management
- API integration (optional)
- Validation & Certification of the myCarto platform
- Knowledge Transfer & Administrator Training
- Run Phase Organization (support, customer portal, user community, advanced resources)
- Project Closure
