There are many reasons why construction companies invest in new software; Greater efficiency, better reporting and stronger job costing are just a few examples. But implementing new construction software can seriously impact your company.
As a result, making a smart technology choice requires a significant investment of both time and money.
To ensure that your original objectives are met with success, your implementation needs to be a well-managed process, with step-by-step guidance at every stage. At Jonas, we understand that many companies have experienced a less-than acceptable software conversion at one time or another. Because of this, we have developed a detailed and systematic implementation process designed to tackle each step with precision.
Our three-phase construction software Training and Implementation Plan is outlined on the accompanying documents and covers everything from the time of purchase to pre-implementation tasks to training all the way up to your “go-live” date. We also transfer data from your old system to your Jonas solution and include 24 hour post-implementation support to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Once your software is up and running, we’ll send you monthly communications with tips and hints to build on your system knowledge thereby, maximizing your investment in Jonas Software.
