Most of the customers do not want to depend on be independent of the implementation vendor long-term and looking for the seek ways to maintain and further develop the tool in-house. It is more efficient and practical when the customer has internal resources that know the tool, do tasks around user management and tool configuration (level 1 and level 2 support), and perform code corrections , and tool maintenance and step into further development. In addition, we want customers to take on their employees' training activities, including onboarding and supporting Learning Center development.
In order to To become self-sufficient, customer customers will have to go through 2 milestones:
Foundation training - standard user learning path that is concluded with a certification exam to confirm the candidate's knowledge and skills of the candidate to fulfill fulfil certain roleroles.
Mentoring and shadowing - once the foundational training is completed, the candidate should work with the implementation team to step-by-step become a member of the development team and, over the time (usually 4-6 months), take over certain specific development tasks in the implementation project.

This program is a pivotal part of Pricefx's commitment to helping ensure a smooth transition, successfully implement our software solution and drive a high adoption rate among the stakeholders after Go Live. Unlike conventional change management programs, our focus is on facilitating a series of workshops that aid in discovery and planning, aligning perfectly with our customers' journey from subscription to implementation, as well as regular check-ins with the customers during project implementation to track the progress of the change program and agreed milestones. We used 200+ implementation project experience to collect the best practices to help our customers avoid typical problems during the pricing project.
The program contains 3 steps focused on fast go-live and quicker Pricefx adoption. Every project will differ from a low-touch to a high-touch approach.
