By now you would have created a vision, defined the scope, filled out the scope in to a full fledge project plan, designed and documented the MetaFrame environment, built and tested it and have finished the pilot only to come to the end of another phase and arrive at another checkpoint.

Now that you have completed the Implementation phase, you will be ready to call another meeting, present your findings, and request to move on to the Readiness phase.
At this point, your customer can choose to continue with the project or bow out gracefully.If the customer chooses to bow out then you would have earned a few service dollars and a significant amount of additional knowledge and experience.You will have also left the customer and yourself with the knowledge that you are now a consultant and not just a break/fix engineer.
If the customer chooses to continue forward with the project then you will move forward to the Readiness phase.
