I would like to thank you for everything you have done for the Personnel team these past few months to ensure a smooth transfer from the Propath database to Cascade. I've always found your team to be extremely helpful and professional, especially Mark who has had to put up with us all down here this past week............. He has been a great support and I'm sure he is also no doubt a huge asset to your business. Once again thank you very much.

"I thought it appropriate to let you know that we have just spent another day with Owen and yet again are delighted with the overall performance of Cascade and particularly their people. Owen has worked through the day at a meticulous speed, going over areas of concern, ensuring understanding and going into detail where necessary. After a full day of workflow training I think I speak for all when I say we are left enthusiastic, knowledgeable and raring to go. Very much down to the person as well as the product. Please ensure that the relevant managers are informed of our positive feedback."
Helen Ratcliffe
HR Manager
ALLFORD HALL MONAGHAN MORRIS LLP
"Feedback so far is excellent and everyone is more than happy with the system. Fantastic, easy to use and quick too, great to have access to own details and update on line - very 21st century."

"I think these tools are just fantastic! The System Designer is great I can create loads of screens, it's so easy to use!" Graham Shellard

"We looked at a number of alternatives but finally chose Cascade because we believed that your system was the most comprehensive solution for our needs, and we could see that there was a clear evolution to the way it has developed over the years, giving us confidence that it is strongly fit for purpose." Lynn Setchell
Customer Experience Director
Hotel Chocolat
"Your staff are very helpful and knowledgeable on the product, not to mention "human", which helps mere mortals like us get to grips with what seemed to be such a major change. We get on very well with the staff at Cascade and feel they are friends as well as suppliers. We are happy to recommend them as an excellent provider of HR online solutions." Tracy Isbell
Weymouth and Portland Housing
"We rolled Cascade out to our employees this year and the response has been the best I've ever seen for a piece of software" Graham Shellard
Information Systems Manager
Linc Housing
"Mark Goodwin was an excellent trainer who was not only knowledgeable and enthusiastic but also extremely helpful. I was astonished as to how much material we managed to cover in 4 days worth of training and made many useful tweaks to the system that helped APMG from the offset. The training was not only useful but also enjoyable, which is a rare thing having been trained on a variety of HR systems in previous roles. His sensitivity in responding to a personal matter that impacted on the Manager's Self Service roll-out was much appreciated."

"Together with the support back at Head Office in order to make adjustments to the system, the customer service I have received at Cascade has been second to none. Nothing is too much trouble which has remained true from the initial visit from Carl Agar-Brennan, to the excellent project management demonstrated by Aileen Cronin to the IT guys Ziaul, Tim and Luke. Thanks so much from me and everyone in APMG – I'll be sure to recommend!"

Emma Vernon
HR Officer
APMG

"Your payroll is great it is so easy to use compared to our last system, It is so easy to update and navigate around and when we have everything else in place I will do a lap of honour as it will save us so much time in fact things are so easy I keep on waiting for something to go wrong as it seems too good to be true!!!!"

HR software implementation and project management

HR Project Methodology

It is essential that we provide the framework, processes, guidelines and techniques to manage the people and the workload that is incumbent with a modern IT project. A proven, quality controlled methodology ensures success and delivers accountability as well as improvement through review and evolution.

Our Client Services team includes project and implementation staff such as Project Managers, Implementation Consultants, Implementation Support Consultants and Trainers and is headed up by Cascade's experienced and dedicated Client Services Director. Delivering Value Cascade have a reputation for delivering projects on time, to budget and accurately. This means that achievement of project goals set out at pre sales and project planning stages is absolutely key to us, vital in the long term success of our relationship with you, the client.

The Cascade project and implementation team will perform an essential role deploying the system within your organisation and will provide a seamless transition to our products from any legacy or in house solutions. Our Project Manager will be allocated to you and will conduct a project initiation meeting which designed to identify and document an agreed specification and project plan consisting of project milestones, key deliverables and responsibilities for both your project team and Cascade's.

Your Project Manager will be your named contact throughout the project.

The specification meeting will be managed by our Project Manager who will be responsible for ensuring that all agreed conditions are met prior to hand over and final sign off.

The specification documents we produce at the start of a project are extremely detailed. This ensures that the testing procedures we carry out at the point of hand over are typically able to show that the system is working as specified. We do not typically find that any prolonged and costly program of post-installation work is required. However we can provide optional User Acceptance Testing if required.

Key stages in any project usually include:

  1. Project Planning
  2. Specification Meeting
  3. Data Migration
  4. Software Installation
  5. System Set Up
  6. System Configuration
  7. Training
  8. Go Live! Day

Our aim is to ensure that once an implementation project has been signed off our clients have no need to purchase additional service days from us. This service is always available but CascadeHR delivers features and technology which allows the majority of our clients, with guidance occasionally from our support desk and Account Management team, to undertake evolution and configuration of the system for changing needs themselves. Of course we constantly develop our systems and in addition to your own changes we will deliver new versions with new functionality on a regular basis. Both are compatible with each other and no changes are lost on upgrade.
