You’ve Got Questions. We’ve Got Sass (and Answers).

Question: How much involvement is required from our team during implementation? Answer: Ahoy, partner! Grab your calendar and your sense of adventure because the success of this voyage depends on your crew's involvement at every port call. Here’s the itinerary: Phase One, Discovery Dock: We're talking significant input from your subject matter whizzes—think captain atop the crow’s nest. Between 5 to 10 hours a week, they’ll navigate us through the choppy waters of workflows and desired cliffs—err, outcomes. Phase Two, Design Island: This is where your stakeholders get to strut their stuff, checking out our proposed treasure maps—3 to 5 hours a week to give the nod or shout “walk the plank” if something's amiss. Phase Three, Implementation Cove: Relax a bit, matey! It’s mostly smooth sailing with quick check-ins and shiny milestone reviews. But keep those sextants handy! Final Phase, Testing Bay: Buckle up! Your active participation is crucial to make sure our ship doesn’t hit the rocks—5 to 8 hours as we ensure this grand vessel meets all hands on deck expectations. Our plan respects your other adventures and responsibilities. We'll work with you to dial in the right balance between command central and off-duty hammock time. You'll get specific time expectations during project planning. After all, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat”—well, at least a fully involved crew!

Oh, you’re asking how we keep you in the loop while we’re conjuring digital magic? Let me pull back the curtain! 🎩✨ Right out of the gate, we hit you with a snazzy communication plan that’s got more plot twists than a Netflix series. Expect weekly status meetings that are less “yawn” and more “aha!”, comprehensive updates that even your grandma would appreciate, and access to our project management tools where you can track our progress quicker than you can binge-watch a season of your favorite show. For daily chit-chat, we've got our own secret weapon: think of Slack and Microsoft Teams as our Walkie-talkies for grown-up business. They're the perfect blend of "Let's hustle" and "Let's meme." But wait, there's more! We're all about proactive updates. Yep, we're like the spoiler-loving friend who tells you what might happen next, so you’re not caught off guard. And yes, we’ve scheduled those thrilling milestone reviews where you give us your thoughts, and we tweak things faster than a DJ at a party. Our grand finale? Fancy, formal review sessions where you’ll see the progress unfold like a blockbuster ending. So buckle up and enjoy the ride! 🎬

"Contracts? Long-term commitments? We prefer flexibility over a never-ending saga. Our approach is more chill than a workaholic on a beach vacation. For project implementation, we go with a 'let’s smash this deadline and split' approach – clear goals, clear milestones, no handcuffs required. And if you want to keep the party going with ongoing support, we’ve got a buffet of options: go month-to-month or score sweet deals with an annual plan. We don’t force you into a long-term first date but betting on a continuous partnership? It's like finding the Ross to your Rachel – always better in the long run. We’re all about fitting your vibe – no hoops, no hurdles, just happy collaborations. Because, frankly, we're not into contractual clinginess. And if you prefer things a bit traditional, we can talk annuals too (not the bookish kind, but they come with more perks than Ross had dinosaurs)."

At Inventive, we're all about mixing a little Harry Potter magic with Sherlock Holmes deduction when it comes to software development. Yes, we do both custom software engineering and sweet-talking some ready-made platforms to do our bidding. It's a bit like choosing between making a gourmet meal from scratch or jazzing up a microwave dinner—sometimes you just gotta do both to get an Instagram-worthy dish. We snag existing tech wizards like n8n.io, Make.com, and Zapier when speed and economy give the finger guns. These tools often cover 70% to 80% of the backend magic.

It's like moving your cherished rock band from your garage to a world tour—and oh boy, we're the roadies making it happen.

Ah, data security, the real MVP of automation, like the unsung hero that keeps everything running smoothly behind the curtains. So, how do we keep your data as secure as Fort Knox during automation implementation? Glad you asked! We have our secret recipe, starting with a sprinkle of encryption spells – both in transit and at rest – ensuring your data is always cloaked in invisibility from any prying eyes. Imagine your data wearing a virtual invisibility cloak straight out of Hogwarts. Next up, we employ a cast of role-based access controls. It’s kind of like having a bouncer at a VIP club, making sure only the cool kids – or authorized users in this case – get in. Our API implementations are as secure as your mother’s meatloaf recipe – only for the eyes who need to know. Plus, we’re all about keeping up with the top regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, because who doesn’t want to stay on the cutting edge of compliance fashion? When it comes to the cloud, we follow best practices like a chef follows a favorite recipe across platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP. Before we even kick things off, our team does a full security assessment – think of it as a detective going over every clue – to ensure we’re ready to safeguard your secrets. And hey, for those who love a good bedtime read, we've got documentation for all these security measures. Plus, if you’re itching for more peace of mind, we’re ready to seal the deal with comprehensive data protection agreements. Because nothing says ‘trust’ like a good contract!

Handling employee resistance to new automated systems is like persuading a die-hard VHS enthusiast to embrace Netflix—it takes a bit of finesse and a touch of charm. At Inventive, we believe in turning grumpy into giddy with our rock-solid strategy. Here's how we work our magic, no wands required: 1. **Spotlight the Stars Early On**: We pull key players into the spotlight from the get-go because, well, why should Beyoncé have all the fun?
