Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: Through years of experience, combined with latest and effective methods such as ‘agile’, we have developed an end-to-end design and build process that produces the best results in terms of time, cost and ROI for our clients.; ; Our approach combines rigour with flexibility to ensure that we are delivering to a consistently high quality, whilst simultaneously enabling us to tailor our approach to suit the needs of the project (and client).; ; Initially the project would consist of our UX/research teams working with you to understand your different audiences, the requirements of your project, your systems and your audience and organisational needs. This would be documented and analysed by our business analysts who would produce a set of user stories and use cases.; ; Our UX team would then take these and start to develop your project strategy, producing wireframes for each screen along with an information architecture. The wireframes will document how the pages and components should all work and give some detail on the look and the feel.; ; We would then move into the design phase where the different designs are produced in-house by our design team ready to be converted into templates and functionality by our development team.
• Planning service works with specific services: No

Training

• Training service provided: Yes
• How the training service works: During the discovery phase of the project our team will work with your editors who will be responsible for maintaining the solution going forward. During this time we would evaluate the skill set of your editors, identifying any gaps, and the level to pitch the training.; ; We have a number of different ways of presentation the training. Traditionally our team will create a set of notes in PowerPoint supported by standard operating procedures documents. ; We will then carry out training for a core group of editors and administrators who will be responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of the solution.; ; The training will comprise of a day training session broken down into two sections: editor training first, followed by a short work-through of actual administration and maintenance tasks, to ensure that your understanding is fully embedded. ; ; We've also been making use of remote training for some time including webinar and video-based training for some clients especially where content entry is dispersed among regions.

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: We have significant experience of working with clients and their IT teams, contractors and 3rd party suppliers to ensure a seamless migration of existing services.; ; Our first step would be to work with you on a base data migration plan. This will require a content audit and then initial planning which will include identifying all digital assets such as content and data. ; ; Our technical consultants will work with your to review the existing system and how it stores your content including type, imagery, video and any other rich content. ; ; We would anticipate using a combination of automated and manual migration. We will identify the resource and effort required for the approach but ideally around 70% of the highly structured data and content from the current site would be migrated automatically with the final 30% completed manually ready for finessing within your new environment. ; ; Steps for migration:; -Analysis of migration requirements including review of digital assets; -Initial development of best practice recommendation for automated migration; -Test export/ import of sample data set and validation; -Export/ import of complete dataset; -Validation of completed migration through agreed sample content review; -Agreed manual migration and amendments as detailed in the migration plan

In order to ensure that the solutions that we release are of an excellent standard, we have a dedicated testing team.; ; Various testing techniques are used at Inspiretec to increase the quality of the projects that are produced.; ; Acceptance testing: This process involves the test team creating test plans and test cases to the agreed specifications gathered at the requirements stage. ; ; Regression testing: As the project progresses through its life cycle, the test plans and test cases will be used to regression-test completed sections of the project. ; ; Bench marking and load/performance testing: While creating test plans and test cases the test team will also create performance and load tests which will be run at certain points of the project life cycle. ; ; Cross browser/cross platform testing: Once a module has been completed, and styling has been applied, the test team will then test to ensure the site renders correctly in the agreed browser/platform matrix.; ; User Acceptance Testing: At the completion of a sprint, the code will be released for User Acceptance Testing (UAT). At this point, the whole site will be deployed to the UAT environment.

The ITIL philosophy adopts a process driven approach which is scalable to fit both small and large organisations. It considers Service Management to consist of a number of closely related and highly integrated processes.; ; All issues are reported to the Helpdesk, in the first instance, to be handled by the First Line Support Team. The First Line Support Team consists of several Customer Support Analysts supported by a Services Management Team.; ; The role of the Customer Support Analyst will be to;; • Take details of your call; • Provide you with a priority, based on set of criteria; • Provide you, if possible, with an immediate solution to your problem ; ; Once a call is logged with our helpdesk it may be progressed through a number of different support levels in order for a problem to be resolved, depending upon the nature and sophistication of the problem logged. It is the objective of the Helpdesk to resolve the majority of calls at the first line.
