This is a short checklist of things needed to consider and take care of when planning the implementation of HappySignals.
Basics
- HappySignals Agreement must be signed before starting HappySignals implementation.
- Contact persons' information shall be provided to HappySignals with the signed agreement or work order: a) customer’s rollout coordinator/project manager and b) person responsible of installation to customer’s environment.
- Customer's main objectives and focus area of using HappySignals shall be informed to HappySignals. We want to make sure to be able to give support especially on this focus area during the rollout.
- Resources shall be allocated for a successful rollout. Below is a list of roles needed, with a rough estimate of time needed for each.
