The defined process will backup the data prior to update.
Database Refreshes

SQL Scripts
Consultant will work with Stat Administrators to configure Stat to support SQL script execution. Process will include backing up current data prior to update.

At a minimum, this can be a simply annoyance like a drop-down value that says one thing but means something else or as serious as a flaw in Stat security setup which enables users to bypass workflow rules. The Health Check is designed to find these inconsistencies and to address them.
Parallel Development
Stat makes it possible to streamline
your development processes into
contiguous workflows. The manual
process of merging workflows together
is tedious and often risky. Our services
team can help you automate multiple
workflows and return your focus to the
task of development.
