Rapid Implementation Methodology | NAXT - Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Equipment Dealers

Leverage our accumulated knowledge from implementations

Our unique implementation methodology, called SEAL, provides a competitive advantage that supports accelerated deployment, increased quality of implementation, reduced risk, and reduced cost for your ERP/DMS implementation.

NAXT’s 600+ dealer-specific business processes are a valuable deliverable that is part of our rapid implementation methodology. Our goal with SEAL is to keep project implementations on time and within budget – each and every time.

The “industry best practice” approach SEAL accomplishes this by doing away with requirement-driven implementations in favor of an “industry best practice” approach, that leverages our accumulated knowledge from past equipment dealer implementations. Our industry-specific and preconfigured solution provides our clients a fast track and low-risk approach, which is easier on a client’s resources.

You are driving this process!

Seamless Go Lives

Our implementation focuses on our clients having direct experience with the entire process at every level. This drives value that is seen at Go Lives when our customers are well prepared and trained. They are ready to assume responsibility and control of the new system, business processes and administration responsibilities to make “going live” a non-event.

ERP, DMS target date, budget, implementation

Ensure target dates and budgets

With our SEAL Methodology, we have the framework to control and manage each step of the project life cycle. Our disciplined project control processes will guide the implementation through each phase and provide our clients the tools they require to effectively manage and reach target dates and budgets. Adherence to an approach like this, that is proven to deliver projects on time and avoid unnecessary risk to a customer’s business is a professional philosophy that all XAPT consultants, project managers, and principals rely upon.

Low risks throughout the entire process

Our project activities have an element that considers eliminating or mitigating risk. We strive to ensure that our consulting, project management and technical teams work with our customers to actively consider the potential risks of any design or implementation strategy. As a result, our project teams are well prepared to minimize the unanticipated and manage any issues as we progress through each phase.

Thanks to our unique, yet proven implementation methodology, we have never failed an implementation

“All of the hard work from the dealers that preceded Thompson on XAPT’s NAXT platform truly made a huge difference. Those efforts led to the development of XAPT’s pre-configured solution which allowed our project to finish on budget and within the agreed timeframe. A big thanks to all those involved from XAPT and Thompson’s extended ERP Team throughout the dealership”.

Matt Serotsky

ERP Project Manager at Thompson Tractor Company

“We wanted to implement a system with a proven track record and we also were keen on minimizing the uncertainties in the project. NAXT is uniquely offering over 600 predefined equipment dealership specific processes, and it was amazing to see how the system already seemed to fit our needs. We are not forced to start describing our future processes at the whiteboard, but we rather chose from the library of processes NAXT brings and we configure them to our specific needs. For this reason, we expect a shorter implementation time and a quicker return on this investment. We want to grow and we want to enhance our processes, and I believe NAXT is the most credible option to achieve this”
