Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started

Capita advocate a Train the Trainer approach with key staff being trained on the system during the implementation stage. These staff then cascade the necessary training to the various users within the organisation.
In addition, training material is provided in electronic format, context sensitive help is available throughout the solution and when launched will produce help relevant to the screen on which the user invoked help.
Field level tool tips can also be customised on a per implementation basis to be relevant to your organisation and policies.
Capita are happy to work with you to develop a training plan to meet your training requirements. - Service documentation

- End-of-contract data extraction
-
Capita will agree an off-boarding plan with the customer detailing the tasks, responsibilities and timescales. As standard the off-boarding process will include a standard data extract taken and passed securely back to the customer and/or controlled destruction of the data that has been held on the system. All customer user accounts will also be removed from the service.
Where customers do not require consultancy services to off-board and would instead prefer to extract the data themselves to not incur additional charges, this can be achieved by the use of the solution’s standard extraction tools to export the data into industry standard formats such as xml and csv. - End-of-contract process
-
In the event of the termination of a contract it is imperative that the customer can continue to carry out the vital tasks that our solution has provided for, such as continuing to pay suppliers and allowing orders to be made. Capita are committed to ensure that during a decommission, a professional services consultant is provided to ensure a smooth transition away from our solution to an alternative systems supplier.
We understand that, as part of an exit strategy, expert knowledge may be required to extract data from Integra in agreed formats to be imported in to another solution. Whilst this is not included as part of the commercial contract, Capita provide this service on a Time and Materials basis using the agreed rate card provided.
