When selecting a vendor to provide your company with a software change management solution, it is essential to assess both the software product and the professional services they offer. As the only leading vendor that is 100% focused on the issues associated with change management for software development teams, PDG Software has worked with hundreds of customers in dozens of industries to establish the best practices for integrated change management solutions. Our professional services organization can bring this expertise, and transfer this knowledge, to every PDG customer.

Any successful implementation starts with a shared vision between customer and vendor. To achieve that vision, the PDG professionals prepare well in advance of the target installation to understand the specific implementation tasks and the needs of the software development team that the solution is expected to address. We work with you to craft a plan that leverages the talents and strengths of both your team and our team to ensure a successful implementation.

PDG offers a broad base of technical and consulting experts whose sole objective is to assist customers in optimizing their software development environment. They are the acknowledged leaders in change management processes, and that can make all the difference between a partially successful implementation and a completely successful one which delivers the full benefits you sought at the outset.

Typical services include:

Working with a software development team, the PDG consultant's first task is to perform a Project Analysis , an assessment of the time and tools necessary to create the optimal development environment. As part of the project analysis, a client's own internal software development process will be defined and documented. In this way, PDG helps build a newly optimized development environment that is customized for the client and causes minimal disruption for their software developers. Next, a detailed Implementation Plan explains the work required to transition to this newly optimized development environment, including the integration of the PDG product suite with existing development tools (such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, Java, PowerBuilder, etc.) and the migration of existing code to the PDG environment. PDG consultants perform on-site assistance to ensure a smooth implementation of the PDG products and a solid integration with the client's development environment. Finally, to ensure ongoing success, PDG consultants share their in-depth knowledge of the software development process through both on-site training classes and classes offered in our education center for developers and managers.

The Bottom Line
PDG Software offers more than just software tools, but a real commitment to customer success through planning, implementation, training, and support services.
