ACG's Implementation Methodology (AIM)
ACG utilizes a formal project management methodology called AIM.
This methodology was developed by ACG over the past 20 years from
our extensive experience delivering successful BI systems to Fortune
500 customers.
ACG has learned over the years that BI systems require a
different project implementation approach to ensure success.
We feel that our AIM methodology delivers a competitive advantage to
our customers by ensuring a repeatable proven process for successful
BI project delivery.
Many of our customers are required to adhere to their own
internal project management methodologies. For such
situations, ACG will tailor its approach to conform its methods and
align its deliverables with said methodology.
The major phases of the ACG Implementation Methodology are
outlined below:
Project Strategy
This phase identifies the tasks required to develop all planning
deliverables. This maps to our clients' Project Charter, Scope
of Work, Validation Assessment, Validation Plan, Qualification
Assessment, Qualification Plan, Project Plan, Risk Assessment
Plan/Log, and Selection of Business Intelligence tool(s).
Analysis, Design, and Construction
This is a set of parallel processes to accomplish the design and
development of the actual Business Intelligence and Technical and
Technical Infrastructure components. This maps to our clients'
User Requirements, Functional Specifications, Design Specifications,
System Build and Configuration, IQ, Unit Tests, and Traceability

Business Intelligence solution. This maps to our clients
