At Avidian Technologies, we are committed to your success with Prophet. Because of that, we give each of our clients we offer a suite of implementation and training services specifically tailored to suit your needs and your Prophet goals.

Best Practices Installation Consultation

This is a series of phone meetings to install the software prior to training. During this Best Practices Installation (BPI) process, a dedicated BPI Engineer will assist you through the setup of your Prophet Server System. We are determined to make your implementation as smooth as possible for your company.

Installation Kickoff Call – During this stage, you will meet with your dedicated BPI Engineer and will be familiarized with the BPI process. We will discuss your existing network configuration and how contact and sales data are currently stored. Then, we will go over system requirements and any other issues or concerns you may have prior to installation.

Analysis and Planning of System Implementation – Your BPI Engineer will provide you with suggestions on the best implementation plan for your Prophet system. This plan will be tailored to your specific business needs.

Exchange/SharePoint (if applicable) and Outlook Prepping – During this stage, we will discuss in detail your exchange setup and public folders.

Server and Client Installation

Your BPI Engineer will assist you with installing the Prophet server and all clients. We want to ensure that all machines are up and running prior to training. Time needed for this step will vary based on your environment.

Prophet Best Practices Installation Review

This occurs 2-4 weeks after installation is finished. Your BPI Engineer will discuss with you any remaining questions or concerns about the system from an installation standpoint. Also, this helps us discover if any significant technical changes have been made to the requirements of the CRM, as well as any outstanding technical issues with the installation.

Prophet Administrative Training Sessions 1 & 2

Once your implementation is complete, you will be handed off to our training staff for your administrative training series. These meetings are meant for the Prophet administrator(s) and/or decision makers as we will be customizing the software with you based on your business and end goals.

Additionally, we will cover any questions you have (whether Prophet or Outlook related) and will discuss the format for your user training series. We will then build the user training around your sales process so that we are training your team on exactly what they will do and how they will use Prophet on a day-to-day basis.

Basic User Training 1 & 2

These sessions will first cover the basics as a way to introduce the software to your team, and we will slowly teach the group additional features. Our initial focus will be on the process and features decided upon at the end of the administrative series. Also covered are fundamentals such as:

• General overview of Prophet Folders
• Prophet Dashboard
• How to use Contact Manager for managing your Contacts and Companies
• How to Manage your Opportunities

Intermediate User Training 3 & 4

These classes are designed to re-enforce the fundamentals covered in the basic user training – as well as introduce other features in the software such as:

• Sending Group Emails
• Send mail merged emails (in Prophet Ultimate versions)
• How to run reports
• Sales Automation

Your Own Training Groups

It is our recommendation that you cap each group training session to around 5 team members per training as we’ve had the most success when capping the meeting to a smaller groups. This helps keep the discussion focused, and your users’ questions can be heard properly. Furthermore, we require that your users train in front of their computers with their own copy of Prophet installed to allows them to follow along with the instructor.

Fast Scheduling

It is our priority to get you and your users into training sessions as quickly as possible. The sooner you are scheduled into classes, the sooner your users can adopt the software. The key is to leverage momentum of your adoption; we can get you into trainings in a matter of days based on your users’ schedule.
