At Vistex, our focus is on you and helping you to get started on the right foot with your Vistex solution implementation. At Vistex, you can consult with highly experienced professionals who know your industry – and its unique challenges – inside and out. We also leverage the knowledge that comes from cross-industry experience, ranging from agriculture to retail to high tech, so you can draw on best practices from outside your own industry. We want you to be up and running quickly with a successful implementation and supportive knowledge transfer.
While some companies simply implement their software with very little customer collaboration, Vistex chooses to partner with you every step of the way. In fact, we encourage your involvement during the implementation process so that we can leverage our collective experience, whenever possible, and to deliver maximum value and performance.
Extended Support Services are available to sustain an ongoing relationship between our teams
So whether you want to learn how best to navigate the global marketplace – with insights on everything from culture to compliance wherever you do (or plan to do) business, or if you are putting KPIs and an effective change management plan in place, we can help you. Because when you can’t account for everything, there’s Vistex.

Deciding how and when to upgrade Vistex solutions – we can help
How do I know when to upgrade? Determining when to invest the time, resources, and funding into an upgrade can sometimes be an arduous task. However, when you partner with Vistex, we will walk you through that decision-making process by analyzing current capabilities versus new upgrade features and functionality. We facilitate an assessment process to examine business processes and best practices, giving you the visibility you need to make informed decisions about upgrades.
For clients choosing to upgrade, Vistex is available to expertly manage and lead the project. We have developed a three-phased approach with integrated checkpoints to ensure knowledge transfer is complete before moving onto the next phase.
