Implementation Support & Advocacy
What it is
The implementation phase is the building phase. It's exciting and yet, full of hidden pitfalls. We offer an experienced, neutral perspective and technical expertise to help you build the right system for your institution.
Because we've been in your shoes, we tell you what to expect, speak openly about sensitive topics like budgets and timelines, get to know your unique institution to suggest the right configurations (customizations), and empower your employees to get the most out of the results. At the end of our time together, the technology will serve you, not the other way around.
Who it benefits
Institutions in the implementation phase, or those in the middle of an implementation and in need of a rescue mission.
(Don't worry. We got you. You're not alone.)

Think of Legato as Implementation Failure Insurance.
How do implementation's fail?
The success of a Workday® Student implementation is determined by an institution's level of preparedness before it even begins.
When failures do happen, in our experience, it's the result of inadequate pre-implementation planning and unrealistic expectations.
This is so easily avoidable when you have access to experienced counsel who is on your side.
The biggest challenges faced in an implementation come from within the institution.
Failed implementations cost millions of dollars. Poorly completed implementations result in technology that offers minimal benefit and heavy costs to later stabilize, not to mention the accompanying stakeholder loss of trust.
