Implementation Tutorial
The implementation tutorial is there to help you edit and customize the documentation to fit your company. It comes in the form of extensive notes and tips inserted directly into the documents. These notes:
  • Identify and explain the requirements which are being addressed in the particular section of the document,
  • Alert you to sections where you may need to make changes, and
  • Discuss alternative approaches and solutions that may be more suitable for particular industries or types of companies.
It is like having a consultant anticipating your questions and helping you in real time as you are customizing the documentation.
