- Follow a change control process and coordinate with Finance to raise any necessary invoices for changes
- Work closely with the product and engineering teams to ensure that any critical development for this implementation is on track and fit for purpose
- Thoroughly understand Dayshape and how our customers use it, in order to propose the best solutions.
- Work with our implementation consultants to manage the data migration process
- Coordinate planning and delivery of customer training
- Ultimately hand over the relationship to Customer Support and Account Management following the successful conclusion of the implementation
