We wi ll attempt to train your staff on your copy of your actual database, where feasible. This will allow you to learn specifics relating to your system. The training of various modules/functions will be scheduled in a logical manner and based on your staff availability. We often recommend that the project be broken into logical phases. It is vital that all aspects of the project be done in a timely manner according to schedule to ensure that we make the progress needed for the successful implementation of your system. Also, it is important that we begin scheduling immediately after the engagement letter is processed to ensure best available timing for both your staff and ours. Once you have made a final decision and we have ordered the software, we will set up a meeting to discuss the project and begin the scheduling of services. We recommend that you set up an appropriate training area that will allow all staff to follow the instructor and enable each staff person to work on a computer with MIP Fund Accounting loaded on it. We strongly recommend that you immediately begin using the system after training in order to reinforce the training received. Significant delays in the actual application of information communicated in training will limit your success and possibly create the need for re-training. We request that all designated staff focus strictly on this project during training. Excessive interruptions will cause us to not be able to complete the assignment on time and they will also prevent the staff from being adequately trained. If there are delays or interruptions with slower staff, we will ask you to manage such issues and make sure qualified staff are being trained who can continue to train slower staff later (e.g. "train-the-trainer"). This will ensure that we complete the training and that you are adequately prepared. Further, client staff attending scheduled sessions will be responsible for training staff that do not attend.
