Development
Delivery of a Digital Product requires participation of the broker. This will normally take 5 to 10 days effort for the broker and will include the following activities, Provision of configuration information to define the site, Attendance at a kick off meeting at the Open GI offices, User Acceptance Testing of the Digital site and provision of feedback.
User Testing For all development, a User Test environment must be in place or must be contracted for if not in existence. The Test environment must be installed and configured prior to deployment of development. Delays in delivery will occur where this has not taken place.
Open GI will provide training to allow Customers to build their own documentation and SQL reports. It is important that Clients have suitably skilled personnel to attend such training and to carry out the work required to build documents and reports. In the event Clients do not have the technical skills within their business to carry out this work, Open GI can provide this service for a Fee. Please refer to your Account Manager for details.
