Govern and Manage an Enterprise Software Implementation
Don’t outsource your brain: You can’t outsource project accountability to the SI.
Book This Workshop
Failing to have a defined process in place for enterprise application implementation leads to:
- Haphazard implementation processes that fail to deliver business value
- Significant time and cost overruns across the project lifespan
- Fractured IT and business alignment
- Significant rework during the implementation phase
Having a well-defined process for enterprise software implementation will lead to:
- Better value delivery of deployed applications
- A rigorous process-centric approach that saves time and money, and prevents you from wasting “good money after bad”
- Better alignment between IT and the business
- A smoother relationship with your vendors and system integrators
Book Your Workshop
Onsite Workshops offer an easy way to accelerate your project. If you are unable to do the project yourself, and a Guided Implementation isn’t enough, we offer low-cost onsite delivery of our Project Workshops. We take you through every phase of your project and ensure that you have a road map in place to complete your project successfully.
