How to make software implementations easy
Document
existing process.
Prepare a current workflow diagram. Understand how your current process
works and where the holes exist.
Determine
how the data will be collected. If you know in advance where all the
data needs to come from and where it will collectively reside, then you
shorten the implementation cycle. Be prepared upfront.
Understand
what reports will be needed. During the documentation process, make
sure to closely evaluate what data you will need out of the new system.
Figuring this out on the front-end will enable reports to be developed and
implemented before the entire system implementation is completed.
Gather
SME’s for initial meeting. Include subject matter experts from each
department in the initial project team. This provides a clear look into
the current state of business from a departmental view and allows for feedback
from all areas. Make sure to include end-users on this team as well. This
group will become the in-house experts on the new technology.
Establish
interface requirements. If an interface is required, determine the specific
requirements and establish initial test scripts.
Determine
workflow-testing group. This will allow you to visualize the workflow
through the software. By doing this up front, you may identify potential “traffic-jams” as well as other areas that need to be improved before implementation
of the software begins.
