Three Steps You Can Take to Ensure a Successful Guard1 Deployment

Project Champion

The most important key to a successful Guard1 deployment is a project champion who is engaged and involved. Your Project Champion can make sure that the project goes smoothly, staff are informed, and your facility is ready to take advantage of all Guard1 Real Time can offer.

Hosted System

A hosted system is managed by Guard1. As a result, the effort required of your IT staff is minimized. Your hosted system is normally set up and ready within a few days. A hosted system implementation typically takes days or weeks, compared to possibly months for an on-premises system.

This is especially true if you must rely on your IT staff to set up a server, obtain and configure a SQL Server database, and take on additional deployment tasks. Unless you have reasons that require an on-premises system, we recommend a hosted system.

Staff Communication and Training

Make sure your they understand how Guard1 will simplify their job, provide documentation for their many tasks, and protect them from liability. Make time available before and during Go Live for proper training. Use and distribute Guard1’s training materials and job aids. This is an exciting time for your organization! Proper communication and training will make your Guard1 system a success for your team and your facility.
