Drivestream has pioneered a path for your Upgrade Challenges. We understand that complex upgrades can seem challenging and overwhelming, but Drivestream has de-mystified the Upgrade Process for you. With our Upgrade Services, you can select the one that fits your needs.

This 2 day Upgrade Assessment is designed for the initial stages of planning or scoping your upgrade. This is a great way to gather your business users, IT staff and management together for a facilitated process to learn about 9.0 and how it impacts your organization.

Count on Drivestream with the initial stage of your launch! During the first 4-8 weeks of your upgrade, we can help your team prepare with our Upgrade School that was especially designed for getting clients like yourself prepared for an upgrade. Our leading team of experts from the field will train your staff with in-depth knowledge of the possible upcoming complexities involved in an upgrade.

Drivestream’s Upgrade Services can be customized to your company’s needs. We can augment your existing team with our team of talented resources or drive the upgrade completely for you. Our services can accommodate what you need and when you need it in the project life cycle.

Start your new module implementation off on the right foot. Our process, from concept to solution, can launch the project successfully in as little as 5 weeks. You will engage the users immediately, drive consensus on how to use the module, manage key implementation decisions, identify technology and business process gaps and have a working demo of your application for users to experience before development begins.

Drivestream’s steps to a successful implementation

Step # 1) Capabilities Presentation

This step will present to the Stakeholders a customized presentation based on the Module that will be implemented. The presentation will go over the Module Features and allow the Stakeholders a glimpse into the Drivestream methodology of implementing the Module from concept to solution.
Drivestream believes in educating and providing our clients with the right tools to make the implementation successful.

We facilitate the 2 day workshop to meet your needs. The workshop will include:

• Review of Current State vs. Best Practices

Step # 3) Proof of Concept

Drivestream’s Proof of Concept service is a 3-4 weeks process where we document Process Flows, Customizations, Interfaces and Configuration needed to fully develop the system and deliver a fully enhanced Prototype.

You Get:

• Configured Demo System for Prototype
• Developed Scenario Scripts for Prototype Workshop
• Users will experience the solution before even starting the development phase. We will conduct a “Day-in-the-Life” working session with users using the Prototype from the perspective of:
• Employee
• Manager
• End User
• Interfaces, customizations and business process changes are identified for the requirement and design documentation

Drivestream rethinks the “Conventional” Augmentation model. Instead of one body, you get a team!

PeopleSoft is a vast application where to get the best solution in the least amount of time, you need access to many experts, ideas and skill sets. Our Solution Augmentation model supplies the specialist when needed. Do not rely on your project success based on one consultant that is competent in one area and not the other. We work with you to scope the project, determine the skills you need to complete the project or augment the team, and then bring the right experts to bear when they are required.

Drivestream’s support services are geared to provide a low-cost alternative to complete the mundane tasks needed, freeing up your team to work on more strategic and interesting work. Get an individual support service that fits your unique need or bundle our services together for an even better deal!

Our upgrades, new module implementations, support and enhancements projects are formulated into distinct phases with inputs and outputs. This enables our customers to work with us for the entire project or just for the tasks where they need help. Many of our competitors take a self-serving approach when it comes to develop a project and insist on doing it their way, not Drivestream’s way – we understand that different customers have different project development needs.
