Full-cycle software solution implementation project services
Project services are critical
A good software solution will not produce a successful result on its own. Well-executed deployment of the system is equally as important as the software itself. Quorum has helped clients with deployment of software in over 550 projects. From this experience, we have developed methodologies, processes, tools and a full range of professional service offerings.
Client-specific approach - Our philosophy is that each client and each project is unique and merits a customized approach. However, we also look for opportunities to leverage our past experience and assets. We work collaboratively with our clients, offering virtually any combination of services on a menu-driven basis.
Accountability for results
We take a results-oriented approach to our projects, looking to minimize project risk and arrive at a successful conclusion on time and on budget. We offer contract structures, in which we take responsibility and accountability for results.

Extending the life of your investment
Software solution projects are a significant upfront investment. We are well-aware that clients want to ensure their investment continues to deliver value over as long a useful life as possible. Quorum accomplishes this by:
- Expert support, which is a key ingredient to ensure an extended lifespan
- Promoting client self-sufficiency with access to expert support - we advocate clients becoming self-sufficient as quickly as possible
- A structured program of knowledge transfer, exposure to best practices and skills training
- Even after the client establishes proficiency, periodic access to expert support may be advantageous for certain activities (product release deployment, new employee training, M&A situations, etc.)
Tailored support program
- Quorum offers a unique approach to support, not offered by most software providers
- Support services are tailored to each client's specific requirements
- You determine the degree of support that you require over time
- We do not impose a pre-determined support arrangement on our clients
