Implementation Engagement

Pendo Enterprise Launch

An enterprise Pendo rollout requires more than installation and training. You also need data integrations, a repeatable app launch program, and a way to showcase value. Balboa's Enterprise Launch helps deliver the promise of Pendo at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Pendo Enterprise Launch take?

A typical engagement runs 12 months. Named apps go live in the first half of the year, and the Center of Excellence takes over onboarding for the rest of the app footprint in the second half. Timelines adjust to the size of your footprint.

What is the difference between a named app launch and a scaled app launch?

Named apps are your highest-profile applications. Balboa launches them hands-on, with implementation, enablement, and change management for each one. Scaled app launches cover the rest of your apps through a repeatable intake, governance, and training motion that your Center of Excellence runs.

Who is on the Balboa team?

A typical team has an Engagement Lead, a Forward Deployed Engineer, a Solution Architect, and a Pendo Solution Consultant. The Solution Architect front-loads in the early months. The other three roles run the full 12-month engagement.
