3 SHORTEN TIME-TO-VALUE WITH PROVEN AND READY-TO-USE BEST PRACTICES Planon Universe includes a suite of best practices called Accelerator for all software solutions. Accelerator brings together knowledge and lessons learned from more than 2,000 Planon implementations to provide the best and most relevant pre-configured processes, including workflows, catalogues, reports, dashboards, templates, roles, authorizations, data import facilities, and detailed documentation. These best practices and pre-configured processes help to accelerate the initial implementation and drive continuous innovation to improve your organization s performance. Benefits from Accelerator include: Shortened time-to-value: Accelerator reduces the time and effort spent in initial design and implementation by offering true out-of-the-box business processes that ensure fast and measurable results. Working with standards: Accelerator includes multiple industry standards that enable benchmarking, chain integration, and the use of a common language. Simplified implementation: Accelerator allows you to use business processes immediately without any design and configuration effort. After using the software during initial implementation, you can decide to easily implement specific changes or local additions. Integrated processes: all Accelerator processes are interconnected and integrated by design, driving more value from your Planon solution and facilitating cross-discipline processing, reporting and analyses. Ongoing innovation: Accelerator offers the flexibility to adapt Planon innovations and new business processes quickly and easily.

ENSURE AN EFFICIENT, ON- TIME, AND ON-BUDGET PROJECT WITH PLANON S STANDARD IMPLEMENTATION METHOD The implementation of any Planon solution is based on the Planon Accelerator Implementation Methodology (AIM). AIM is a process-based implementation methodology based on one of the world s most practiced project management methodology Prince2. AIM is the result of more than 2,000 implementation projects and ensures a structured, solid, and controllable implementation. As Planon solutions include by default the best-practice Accelerator, AIM focuses on validation and fine-tuning rather than full design and starting from scratch. This ensures a short time-to-value and an efficient, results-driven implementation that suits the needs of your organization. Planon Accelerator Implementation Methodology includes: A standardized and structured 7-step process that includes all activities needed for a result-oriented implementation that is aligned with your specific needs. Clear deliverables for each step to ensure compliant documentation, a comprehensive foundation for decision-making, and agreement on implementation progress. An efficient project organization format including tasks, roles, authorities, and responsibilities to clarify expectations from project participants and to assign intelligible accountability.
