Once you have purchased Acctivate you will be contacted to schedule a Kickoff Call so that we can introduce ourselves.
This short call will take place between the following people:
- Sales Representative
- Your Acctivate Project Director
- Your Company’s Acctivate Project Manager
The purpose of this call is to collectively discuss the reason in which you purchased Acctivate as well as set roles and expectations for all parties involved. If an Acctivate Consulting Partner is involved, we recommend the Partner be included in this call.
Your Project Director will discuss the Configuration and Setup Process of Acctivate as well as schedule the Interview Call. We will also check on the Acctivate Server Install.
