    Chesapeake’s goal is to provide solutions that are specifically tailored to your business requirements and strategy. But those solutions extend beyond state-of-the-art software. They incorporate expert implementation services to deliver a system that suits your exact needs. The expertise we have gained from successful implementations in a host of industries provides insight into best implementation practices. This allows us to help you avoid process, installation, and operational missteps that often plague new system projects. From initial planning through final user training, Chesapeake experts support every phase of your implementation process.
    
    Support Every Step of the Way
    We begin by assigning an implementation specialist who will coordinate with your project team for implementation planning, product installation, and end-user training. An expert in the Chesapeake product you’ve chosen and the financial process you are automating, our specialist serves as the focal point for the project and is your contact for all questions, whether technical or procedural. He or she solicits other Chesapeake expertise as required and works with you every step of the way as your new system is brought to life.
    
    First, we define your unique requirements. We work with your project team to understand your business processes and share the experience we have gained with regard to best practices in your industry. Then we define and document your particular requirements to serve as the foundation for carefully crafting a system that precisely suits your needs.
    
    Next, we develop a detailed project plan. This detailed project plan, which includes specific roles and responsibilities, ensures that each requirement is effectively addressed. Jointly, we define components like your accounts, match rules, import and export definitions, and reports to automate your processes most efficiently. In addition, working with our consultants, your staff will acquire detailed information that will allow them to maintain the system and realize its full benefits.
    
    Then, we build, test, and install the system we’ve tailored for you. Chesapeake builds your client database at our offices, defining your accounts, assigning business rules, and tailoring reports. When the resulting software has been thoroughly tested, our technical experts install it in your environment and perform on-site retesting and verification to ensure it continues to provide the correct results.
    
    Finally, we train your staff to use your new system to its best advantage.
    We conduct on-site training at your location, using your data, to equip your staff with the knowledge it needs to minimize the transition to the new process.
    
    In addition to on-site training, Chesapeake also offers:
    - End-user training classes, held either at your site or in our offices, at a time of your choosing. During classes, which are customized to address your unique needs, we discuss and practice the most commonly used procedures and answer frequently asked questions.
    - “Train the trainer” sessions that are designed to prepare a member of your staff to train other employees in the use of your Chesapeake product.
    - Monthly Online Training, which presents product features and functionality in a forum that fits easily into an employee’s ongoing work. The task-oriented training is followed by question and answer forums. Online training sessions are ideal to get new employees up to speed quickly, or to enhance an experienced user’s skill.
    - Annual User Conference training classes, which allow your staff to combine training with informative sessions and valuable networking time with other users and Chesapeake staff.
    We also offer Web-based SmartSupport through the exclusive "Clients Only" area on the Chesapeake Web site. Here you can complement telephone and e-mail support with:
    - Technical bulletins that update you on product enhancements
    - Resolutions to common issues
    - User Conference details and agenda

  - Benefits of Outsourcing
    
    Successful companies seek ways to minimize operating costs in order to maximize profits. When it comes to business processes unrelated to your core revenue-generating activities, a specialist typically can perform these functions more economically and efficiently. This is the premise behind outsourcing, and the reason why most firms outsource at least one function.
    
    Cost often predominates decisions to outsource. It is expensive to hire, train, and retain staff with the expertise needed to perform specialized tasks. Also, it is costly to acquire the automated tools and facilities needed to support these functions and then hire, train, and retain the staff to oversee the maintenance and update of IT systems. Such infrastructure investments diminish a company’s ability to invest in core activities, which can affect profit. Service providers already possessing the tools, facilities, and specially trained personnel can provide these functions at a fraction of the cost due to economies of scale. A company benefits by turning fixed costs into variable costs and by minimizing risk related to critical tasks by placing them in expert hands.
    
    Chesapeake understands your need for expertise when it comes to automated general ledger reconciliation, account analysis, and compliance, especially unclaimed property reporting. Our staff are subject-matter experts in these areas and understand both the processes involved and the governing rules and regulations. Further, Chesapeake knows IT. Our facilities are state of the art, secure, and backed up in the event of disaster, freeing customers from maintenance, software updates, and user issues. In some cases, outsourcing can totally eliminate the need for in-house processing facilities and staff.
    
    Outsourcing your business processes to Chesapeake can help your firm
    - Focus on your core activities secure in the knowledge that all requirements/deadlines will be met
    - Improve your internal processes under our expert guidance
    - Improve risk management
    - Respond more rapidly to changing business conditions
    - Lower costs and better control your budget
    - Leverage the latest technology with utmost data security for your business
