in the successful adoption
of any enterprise software.

Issues
with Packaged Application
Implementation
Is
your organization
concerned about one
or more of these application
system implementation
scenarios?
-
You
have read the stories
about projects that
take twice the time
and cost three times
the budget, how
can you be sure
that your project
will be on-time
and on-budget?
-
The
new system is supposed
to change your business,
how can you still
make sure that you
don’t wind
up with the same
the old processes,
running in expensive
new technology?
-
The
software seems to
have all of the
functionality that
you need, but if
there are gaps how
can you be sure
that they will be
handled correctly?
These
scenarios, although
they focus on different
potential issues with
an application implementation,
all have a common
theme. The commonality
lies in the need for
the implementation
to address the total
needs of your business.
To get the return
on investment that
your company needs
to justify the project,
you must control the
cost and the time
that it takes to begin
using the applications.
At the same time,
to be effective, “new
tools” require
new processes and
the issues involved
in change management
must be addressed.
Your company is unique
in the way that it
does business. When
“uniqueness”
is key to your success
and culture, it should
be preserved. When
it is the result of
old systems and old
policies, the company
should change. How
does a company know
what to keep and what
to change and how
to do this on-time,
within budget?
Influence
Software's Application
Implementation Services
Solution
Influence Software's
Application
Implementation
Services use a top
down approach to
systems implementation
that effectively
focuses the
implementation on the
most effective use of
the software, as a
tool to help improve
your business. The
implementation begins
by defining your
company’s key business
processes, and mapping
them to the
application. Starting
with what needs to be
done, Influence
focuses the
discussions on how it
will be done using the
application’s
processes, rather than
past practices.
Setting up the system
early, with test
settings and sample
data, allows the team
to “design” and test
their solution in the
application, promoting
process change
acceptance and
reducing
customizations. The
keys to On-Time,
On-Budget, On-Target
applications
implementations are
knowing what needs to
be done, promoting
effective process
change and using
professional,
experienced project
management to keep the
project team focused
on the goal –
improving your
business with new
tools and processes.
