Implementation Process

  1. Implementation Interest

    So you're interested in moving to Rock? Well, let's set up a time to connect and get to know each other. We will discuss your goals, challenges you face within your current system, and answer any questions you may have about the implementation process. Here at 9 Embers, we strive to help churches move to Rock and we'd love to discuss how 9 Embers can help!

  2. Initial Data Transfer

    We ask the Church to provide a Data Transfer so we can get to know your data which will help us in the Discovery Meetings. We will handle the set up and configuration of your servers as well as installing Rock. If you want us to handle hosting for you as well, check out our Cloud 9 offering!

  3. Discovery Meetings

    We want to ensure we fully understand how your Church does Ministry, so we will work with you to set up a series of meetings with your ministries. In these meetings we will discuss and document how their ministry area operates. We want to know the challenges and hurdles each area faces so we can better configure Rock to suite the needs of your Church.

  4. Implementation Team

    It is important that someone on your staff is managing the project for your church. Typically this person is full-time and someone who has a good handle on most ministry areas or can find the information out relatively easy. They should be a good point of contact for our team during the implementation project.

  5. Implementation Project

    We will prepare a project board with all our documentation from the Discovery meetings broken into tasks for Go-Live. We will review this board with your team and make our recommendations for time frame and cost for the project.

  6. Training

    Training is an important piece to any software implementation. We will provide your team access to training videos covering the basic concepts of Rock as well as training on specific processes our team has configured as part of the implementation project.

  7. Go-Live!

    You've made it! You are live on Rock! Now what??
    Based on our experience, you will have questions and will need help addressing things that may not have come up until after you were live. Which is why we recommend every church first starting out with Rock invest in a support retainer for at least the first 6 months after they are live.

  8. Support Retainer

    Let us partner with you on this Rock journey! While a support retainer may seem unnecessary, it's something that will bring you and your team a sense of relief, to have someone in your corner you can depend on. Rock is ever evolving and changing and we understand how challenging it is to keep up. Let us serve you by being the helping hands needed to support you and your church.
