The data required for the migration are ascertained and prepared for importing. In addition, the data acceptance is structured and planned as part of test coordination. At the end of the documented tests, a test report is created. In defect management, tickets are created and followed up on and an acceptance test is carried out or coordinated. In addition, PTA supervises user and rights management for the test and training system as a template for the production environment, provides support in coordinating and carrying out end user training for the back office, including creating documents, and provides go-live and post-go-live support for SMEs and key users for the transition to routine operation.
Subject description
One major challenge is maintaining the customer's highly efficient working processes and specifying the system requirements accordingly. Mapping and documenting cross-departmental service business processes, in-house and field, in the system is an important basis for the entire organization and training courses. The system provides supports in the areas of call center, service coordination, service deployment documentation, spare parts management, claim handling, instrument handling, order management, managing measuring equipment, and managing employee qualifications, and it enables close cooperation between the sales and service departments.
