Doing this job remotely

Most implementation work is delivered remotely through screen sharing and access to the customer's hosted environment. Travel depends on the customer and is most likely for kickoff workshops and go-live support. Consultants usually work on several projects at once and are measured on billable utilization, which requires careful scheduling across customers and time zones.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Consultants come from implementation, technical support, systems administration of the same product on the customer side, or consulting firms. They progress to senior and principal consultant, solution architect, engagement manager and services practice leadership.
