**Phase One: Discover**
Understanding your requirement is key for your project’s outcome. Failing to do this can lead to unforeseen issues during or after implementation. To avoid this, it is best to carefully review business requirements, add resources to the plan, create a structure for the proposed environment and host project calls regularly.
This is the first and the most critical stage where we focus on understanding your processes to plan staged handover of systems, and responsibilities to team e-Zest. This plan involves preparing detailed Service Level Agreements and ensures stakeholders understand goals and service expectations.
**Application Planning**
Gaining full knowledge on existing IT portfolios and systems and at the same time planning for the future of application portfolio requires extensive expertise and clear strategic thinking.
e-Zest is committed to deliver you maximum return on your business applications investments. Our experienced consultants will assist you in the following areas:
- Application portfolio review
- Strategic planning
- Infrastructure planning

- Information Technology planning
- Business Continuity Planning
- Operational planning
**Benchmark - Systems, Processes, People**
To form a baseline for future improvements, it is important to benchmark existing systems, processes and people that impact application performance. This is done by assessing reliability and stability of systems by reviewing logs of incidents and problems.
**Our experienced consultants will assist you in the following areas:**

- Determine maturity level of systems and strategic direction
- Standard Benchmark Test to ascertain the capacity and performance of the existing system
- Gain a clear understanding of the current state of the IT systems (e.g. response times)
- Document existing applications, performance targets and existing issues
**Phase Two: Handover**
Once the scope is understood, we define the handover or transition process to ensure smooth implementation. This involves accepting handover of all systems, processes and responsibilities formally, Disaster Recovery Plan and ensures stakeholders understand goals and service expectations as agreed.
- **Defining SLAs**
In the transition phase, we place at most importance for understanding the client's environment and maintain the agreed terms to define the SLAs that are tailor made.
We follow a SLA driven application support and maintenance model to ensure a high performance platform for operating and managing your business applications.
- **Business Continuity Plan**
This is a transition phase where defining and preparing business continuity is an important part of the handover process. The purpose of this is to minimize downtime and business interruption by following best practices during transition.
- **Security Assurance**
Security is a very important part of business data and almost all business applications. It is important to protect your assets and data to achieve regulatory compliance and reduce costs of downtime. We do this by carrying out:
- Baseline security scanning to detect security holes
