Sample Implementation timelines

Here are a couple of sample implementation timelines to give you an idea of what to expect. These should be taken as guidelines. How long it takes to implement your database will depend on a few factors, including what Sumac solution you purchased, how much time your organization can dedicate to the implementation, whether you have pressing activities within your organization, etc.

A Premium Implementation is recommended if you purchased Sumac for Case Management, or if you have complex data to bring into Sumac, or a high degree of customization.

A Basic Implementation is recommended if you have little to no customization and are currently storing information in simple spreadsheets.
