Implementation Planning

Clear communication and planning play an integral part in the successful implementation of your MicroCheck system. Planning sessions establish necessary basis of communication between our support staff and those who will be involved in using the MicroCheck system. Of course, the length and topics of each planning session will vary depending on the size of the installation. The sessions will take place in the series of organized steps outlined below:

Step 1

Your MicroCheck representative will meet with key personnel chosen within your district to discuss their responsibilities throughout the implementation period. The goal of the first session is to develop a project outline defining the required steps needed to complete the job, appointing who are responsible for each task, and scheduling a target completion date for each assignment. Modifications to the project outline are anticipated as the project matures. MicroCheck provides project management services to coordinate and monitor all implementation planning at the rate of $65.00/hour.

Step 2

Your MicroCheck representative can perform site evaluations, if necessary, for each location to determine specific installation requirements such as the number of serving lines at each site; placement of the Point of Sale terminals; location of the Manager's PC and printer; electrical outlet requirements; cabling and communication line requirements.

Step 3

MicroCheck will coordinate the delivery of all equipment to a central site within the district, or individual sites according to decisions made during the implementation meetings. Once all equipment is delivered, appointed school district personnel will install and test the equipment at the central office and campus sites.

Step 4

Your MicroCheck representative will install the application software modules at the central office and at one remote school site. Installation of MicroCheck and the operating system at additional school sites are the responsibility of the district personnel. At an additional charge, MicroCheck can provide installation services for any additional sites requested.

Step 5

Software training is scheduled according to the number and type of MicroCheck modules selected by the district. Our goal throughout the entire implementation process is to create a team atmosphere. Through collective efforts of our staff and the school district personnel, we can make the system implementation process a pleasant experience from start to finish.
