2 Phase I Fit Gap Analysis Description: The Fit Gap Analysis will identify which parts of AppliTrack must be modified to support the Client s processes and procedures. We anticipate this to be a back-and-forth dialog where the client identifies a specific requirement and Aspex Solutions responds with possible solutions. Timeline: The timeline for this phase is highly variable. Aspex Solutions will present its standard solution to the Client and the client will then identify questions. Aspex Solutions will respond to all inquiries from the client on a timely basis, acknowledging or responding to all inquiries within one business day and responding to all inquiries in no more than three business days. Phase II Prepare for recruitment, application and hiring processes 1) Obtain Core Objectives Description: Aspex Solutions will send the Client links to its out-of-the-box installation, a master User ID and Password and the Installation To-Do List.

In addition, we offer (nonclient specific) training webinars each month. Documentation for Client specific functions and workflow will be created as needed.
