The prospect of implementing new software is not to be taken lightly. New software generally means new ways of doing things, new challenges, and – most importantly – new opportunities. Software in and of itself is not necessarily going to change things for the better, however. To fully capitalize on the opportunities that new technologies present, the organization must ensure that it has made adequate preparations to get the stakeholders ready for the changes. Identifying the right vendor or implementer is a daunting task, which pales in comparison to the actual conversion to a new system. Apriant can assist with these preparations by analyzing the organizational structure, reviewing key business processes, establishing expectations for resource requirements, and preparing a plan to assist with organizational change management.
