Technology and software implementation includes three stages. Unfortunately, 80% of companies don’t make it past stage two.
Third Stage offers clients comprehensive implementation support from a project’s conception to completion to help them reach the Third Stage of success. We provide access to top-tier technology, industry professionals, and best practices to guide clients throughout their journey.
There are certain nuances between strategies that lead to success vs. failure. With hundreds of implementations under our belt, our consultants know what it takes to succeed.
The Three Stages
Software & Partner Selection
Choosing the right technology and support sets the stage for a successful implementation.
Core Software Functionality
The foundation is complete, but there is still room to go to reach full scope.

The technology has been adopted into daily processes, and the focus has shifted to further improvements.

Software Implementation Case Study
A brief walk through of a software/technology implementation journey for one of our recent clients.
Problem
An international manufacturing company was experiencing silos as a result of the various mergers and acquisitions they had evolved through. There was disconnect amongst their international offices, and they were experiencing bottlenecks in communication and information sharing that inhibited collaboration across the organization.
Solution & Method
They hired Third Stage Consulting to help them optimize their digital strategy and ultimately implement a new ERP system that would solve their problems. Our consultants performed a thorough organizational assessment to evaluate their processes, company culture, and their current technological landscape.
Outcome
After garnering a holistic understanding of their needs, we created a timeline and a roadmap to help them through a digital transformation that would fill the gaps across their organization. We went beyond a simple software recommendation and advised the removal of unnecessary systems, helped them integrate remaining systems, and provided proven organizational change management tactics to help their employees across the world adopt the new software with ease.
