Implementation Consultants have to perform the role by staying true to what the client’s interests are, and thereby build a relationship built on proven good faith and trust.
In terms of their responsibilities, the Implementation Consultant is in charge of understanding the client’s requirements and suggesting how best these requirements can be met by the proposed product or solution. While every proposed product and solution will have gaps, over-architecting the means to address gaps can be the biggest pit an Implementation Consultant can fall into.
In such situations, the goal of the Implementation Consultant should be to address all gaps via “configuration” rather than “customization”. Configuration level changes are made to settings that do not require the code to be rewritten and the executables to be rebuilt. Customization, on the other hand involves changes to the code which are custom built or specific to this implementation.
Keeping most changes to the Configuration realm will allow quick and effective changes to the product or solution rather than long drawn out changes which will require time, effort and money! Along with this strategy also allows the client to get the best out of a ready to ship product or solution.
All said and done, the role of the Implementation Consultant is tricky, complex and very influential. How well this role is played out can make all the difference between a successful implementation that is the canvas for a case study and one that turns out to be a disaster, retold for years to come about how things can go wrong.
Every Implementation Consultant has to play the base role of a Business Analyst over and above which they have to manage the direction of the implementation.
