What can you expect from a rollout plan by qwp?

Technical software rollout - what does this mean?

In order to be prepared for internationalization and localization, many companies need software integration that meets all requirements. The introduction of a new, multilingual CMS usually runs anything but smoothly. With a mixture of teamwork, trust, flexibility, intensive communication and the ability to embrace change, the technical software rollout will get off to a successful start in your company.

CMS rollout and support by qwp

With the experience we have gained from successfully implemented projects, we also accompany your rollout process and offer long-term website support. All needs and expectations are recorded in the rollout plan and then the best CMS for you is selected and implemented. The jointly developed strategy for the rollout is put into practice with the involvement of all the people involved and the staff are comprehensively trained by us. Modern training methods and seminars are the basis for the support that qwp offers companies for further training during rollouts. Once the technical rollout has been completed, we can accompany the progress of internationalization with comprehensive second-level support at your request, should any problems or questions arise.

Rollout plan & processes

What are the factors for a successful rollout plan?

  • put together a team:
    In order to successfully implement the rollout plan, it is essential to clearly define, distribute and delimit responsibilities within the team. A mixture of internal employees and external experts with experience in the rollout process has proven successful. 
  • Central control:  
    There must be a person responsible for implementing the rollout who helps to develop the entire process, implements it and monitors it on an ongoing basis. This person is the contact person for the employees, but also for the decision-makers in the company or for an external agency. 
  • Communication concept:
    As with all technical processes, coordination is the basis for successful work. Define in advance which communication paths and channels are to be used for the exchange. Include everyone involved in the rollout. 
  • Roadmap / Strategy:
    The rollout strategy developed should be implemented as stringently as possible. Deviations are possible if problems arise, but should always be communicated and supported by everyone. 
  • Training and change management:
    Your company's employees must be comprehensively trained in the use of the new software and CMS. Training, change management and a support service support this important process. 
  • Optimization of the rollout:
    Typically, large, international rollouts are implemented in various stages (milestones). The quality check or optimization is one of the most important factors in each step to make the rollout successful.
CMS and website rollout

Why should a website be rolled out internationally?

What are the reasons for internationalizing a website?

With the internationalization of a website, a company ensures that the architecture of a website and the CMS as well as the associated workflows can be used for several languages and cultures. An effective CMS enables the uncomplicated handling of all backend functions of a website or store and also the output of international content in the form of texts, fonts, images, videos or graphics. Problems such as writing and reading direction, characters and the use of control elements in the back and front end are overcome with the rollout of a multilingual CMS. The users in the new target market, who must have a positive user experience when accessing the website, must be kept in mind to a high degree.

Why are training, education and support so important during rollout?

Training and education for employees are elementary components of a successful CMS rollout, as product selection and content maintenance are usually in the hands of internal employees. In most cases, the biggest challenge lies in convincing employees, as people are creatures of habit and rarely embrace change with joy. The first step is to emphasize the benefits, allay fears of change and ensure familiarity with the training. Comprehensive first and second level support, which assists employees with questions and technical problems, creates trust and confidence in their own abilities.

Best practice rollout

Internationalization & localization of CMS systems

Best practice in internationalization and localization

For internationalization and localization, the CMS and databases should be fully usable in multiple languages. A programming interface (API) can be used to automate the translation management system (TMS) and synchronize the source language with new languages. Ideally, the CMS enables content and products to be adapted once and then transferred to all languages. The CMS must create a workflow for employees during internationalization and localization that enables content to be integrated without any problems. Other best practices include versions that can be saved so that old versions can be retrieved in the event of errors, as well as multi-channel websites for desktop, smartphone and tablet.
