Implementation Process With Mako

Mako engages in new discussions with financial institutions by determining the scope of the project and stakeholders, while gathering information about existing forms and workflows. This information allows our team to create a customized demonstration of the platform for all stakeholders. Our team then engages in an in-depth due diligence process with your compliance, security, legal, operations and management team as needed.

Our team works directly with your legal team to provide any additional details or documents needed to facilitate the SLA. Financial institutions tend to be more engaged throughout the requirements and testing phase. Once the system is launched, training is scheduled with all stakeholders to ensure a successful launch and support user adoption at your institution.
