Implementation Process
A methodology built onhundreds of deployments.
Our four-phase approach has been refined across 200+ CPQ implementations. It's structured enough to eliminate surprises — and flexible enough to adapt to your business.
The Methodology
Four phases. Zero surprises.
Phase 1
Discover
We start by understanding — not assuming. This phase is a deep dive into your sales processes, product catalog structure, pricing models, integration landscape, and business goals. The output is a detailed requirements document and a CPQ architecture blueprint.
Key Deliverables
- Stakeholder interviews & workshops
- Current-state process mapping
- Product catalog & pricing analysis
- Integration landscape assessment
- CPQ architecture blueprint
- Detailed requirements document (BRD)
Phase 2
Design
With requirements locked, we design your CPQ solution. Product hierarchies, configuration rules, pricing logic, approval workflows, document templates — every piece architected for scalability and maintainability.
Key Deliverables
- Product catalog hierarchy design
- Configuration rule & constraint specification
- Pricing engine architecture
- Approval workflow design
- Document & proposal templates
- Integration interface specifications
- User experience prototypes
Phase 3
Deploy
Agile implementation with two-week sprints. We build, test, and validate iteratively — not in a waterfall. Your team sees working software every sprint, and we course-correct continuously based on real feedback.
Key Deliverables
- Sprint-based development & demos
- Incremental UAT with real users
- Data migration & validation
- Integration build & testing
- Performance & load testing
- User training & documentation
- Go-live cutover plan
Phase 4
Optimize
Go-live isn't the end — it's the beginning. We monitor adoption, gather analytics, tune performance, and continuously improve your CPQ platform to deliver compounding returns over time.
Key Deliverables
- Adoption & usage analytics dashboard
- Performance monitoring & tuning
- User feedback collection & prioritization
- Quarterly optimization recommendations
- Version upgrade planning
- Continuous improvement backlog
Why It Works
Principles thatdrive results.
Senior-Led Teams
Every engagement is led by a senior CPQ architect — not a junior consultant supervised remotely. You get direct access to the person making decisions.
Iterative Validation
We don't disappear for months and come back with a finished product. You see working software every sprint and shape the outcome in real time.
Measured by Outcomes
We define success metrics upfront — quote generation time, accuracy rates, adoption — and track them obsessively through deployment and beyond.
