The methodology is straightforward. The central theme is quickly leveraging customer goals and priorities to ensure the implementation is executed in a pragmatic, timely manner. Allegro experts leverage customer input, concerns and needs - throughout the implementation process:

• Plan Phase - The Plan phase initiates the project with a customer.  Allegro works with the customer's team to understand business objectives and culture, confirm the scope, develop the project management plan, communicate the plan to project team members, and finally, initiate the project.
• Translate Phase - During the Translate phase the focus is on translating the customer's data and business procedures, using the Allegro software, and identifying/documenting gaps that require further integration.  At the conclusion of this phase, a detailed set of integration items (including visual model extensions, reports, interfaces, messages, security and software modifications) are identified and authorized to ensure that the customer's expectations are clearly addressed within the scope and time parameters of the project.
• Integrate Phase - The Integrate phase moves the project into configuration of the integration items identified in the Translate phase, to ensure the solution is complete.  This phase includes specifying/developing/verifying integration items (visual model extension, reports, interfaces, messages, security and software modifications), refining the data configuration, adjusting the data conversion routines, and preparing for training activities.
• Validate Phase - The Validate phase is intended to allow the customer team the opportunity to verify and formally accept the system.  The newly configured and integrated system is used as the vehicle for formal user acceptance.  This process is integral to ensuring that the system is ready to "Go Live".
• Deploy Phase - During the Deploy phase end-users are trained, and the final configured system and data are delivered into a production status for business use.  The process provides end-users with the knowledge and skills needed to do their jobs.  At the completion of this phase the customer is considered deployed on the system ("Final Deployment").
• Operate Phase - After the "Final Deployment", the Operate phase begins.  During this phase, Allegro provides temporary on-site post-deployment support.  At the conclusion of the term of on-site support, Allegro releases all project resources, and transitions the customer to continuing support.
• Manage – Project management is the underpinning of all phases of a project.  Project management begins during the initial orientation meeting with a new customer, continues through all phases, and finishes when the project sign-off is complete.  Project management includes directing and managing project execution (including status reporting), monitoring and controlling project work and managing change control.
