Growthline Partners' Proven Implementation Strategy...
Phase I of Zoho Implementation: Discovery Requirements
Introduction
Zoho One is a comprehensive cloud-based platform that provides a wide array of business applications designed to enhance various functions including sales, marketing, customer service, accounting, and collaboration. Our approach to Zoho implementation is a systematic process of tailoring and configuring Zoho applications to align with the unique requirements and objectives of our clients. The Zoho implementation process is structured into two distinct phases: Phase I – discovery requirements and Phase II – implementation.
Phase I – discovery requirements represents the initial and critical phase of the Zoho implementation process. This phase entails a thorough discovery session with the client to gain insights into their existing situation, challenges, goals, and expectations. Although Growthline Partners has successfully implemented Zoho across diverse industries, we particularly excel in supporting companies within the manufacturing, building materials, and project-based sectors. Following the discovery session, our Zoho implementation team will delineate the project scope, timeline, budget, and deliverables for the implementation phase. The culmination of Phase I is a comprehensive requirements document that functions as the guiding framework for Phase II implementation.
Phase I
Step 1: Schedule and prepare for the discovery session with the client. The discovery session can be conducted in person, over the phone, or via video conference. The duration of the session may vary depending on the complexity and size of your business. Our Zoho implementation team has a prepared list of questions and topics to cover during the session, such as:
- The client’s background, vision, mission, and values
- The client’s current business processes, workflows, and systems
- The client’s pain points, challenges, and opportunities
- The client’s goals, objectives, and expectations for the Zoho implementation
- The client’s preferences, requirements, and constraints for the Zoho applications
- The client’s key stakeholders, decision makers, and users of the Zoho applications
Step2: Conduct the discovery session with the client.
Our Zoho consultants use a consultative approach and ask open-ended questions to elicit the client’s needs and wants. The team will also demonstrate the features and benefits of the Zoho applications and show you how we can address your challenges and objectives. The team will take notes, record, and document the information gathered during the session.
Step 3: Analyze and validate the information collected from the discovery session.
The Zoho implementation team will review and organize the information into categories, such as:
- The client’s current state and desired state
- The client’s functional and non-functional requirements
- The client’s priorities and dependencies
- The client’s risks and assumptions The client’s scope and expectations

Our Zoho implementation team will use a modified agile process incorporating Kanban to provide for an interactive implementation with the client. The team divides the configuration tasks into small and manageable units and prioritizes them according to the client’s preferences and dependencies.
