01Deployment choice
Compare shared managed cloud, dedicated private cloud and customer-managed on-premises architecture against the organisation’s risk, residency and operating model. Deployment is scoped as part of the solution so commercial expectations reflect the environment and responsibilities required.
02Identity and access
Review individual credentials, role-based permissions and project-level responsibility boundaries before rollout. The objective is to give each participant the access required for their function while keeping approvals, changes and cross-organisation visibility controlled.
03Data protection
Assess encrypted connections, storage, backup, recovery and service-provider responsibilities alongside data-location requirements. The published security information provides a starting point, with private-deployment controls confirmed for the selected architecture.
04Auditability
Understand the user activity and record history available to support investigation, governance and controlled change. Technical review can then focus on how application evidence aligns with the organisation’s monitoring, retention and assurance expectations.
05Integration scope
Identify the master data, project records and operational systems that need to exchange information with WeldTrace. Early definition of ownership, direction, frequency and validation helps prevent an apparently simple interface from becoming an implementation risk.
06Implementation plan
Confirm environment preparation, migration, validation, training, support and change-management responsibilities before commitment. A shared implementation model makes dependencies visible and gives both technical and business stakeholders a realistic route to adoption.
