07 / BEFORE WE BEGIN
Questions from technology teams.
Do we have to replace our engineering tools?
No. We assess what should remain in your product and engineering stack, and what information the customer-facing teams need from it.
Can this support IT services as well as SaaS?
Yes. Project-led services may prioritise delivery and milestone handoffs, while SaaS teams may prioritise onboarding, support and renewals.
Will you connect our existing payment or billing system?
We review its supported APIs, identifiers and events before confirming the scope. Subscription logic and accounting records need explicit ownership.
Can we combine support and account information?
We map the required relationship between records and configure the supported integration and permissions. Your team validates the information visible to each role.
Can reporting include product usage?
Where reliable product data is available through a supported source, we assess how to include it. The website illustrations are not live product telemetry.
