Ed managed all phases of the projects, coordinating efforts from Marquis and the client as well as third party contractors. Included within his oversight were initial functionality gap assessment, data conversion, interface development, software configuration & customization, system & user testing, training, and finally, statewide deployment. In each project, the time frames were different, the order of module deployment was different, and the requirements were different. What was not different however, was the success.
