Implementation Points • EXECUTIVE SUPPORT – Don’t leave home without it. • CRM is not ERP: CRM can be implemented in pieces • Don’t be afraid to start small with one implementer (walk before you run) • Soft Projects: unannounced, unscheduled, unbudgeted, fit-it-in-when-you-can • Teleservice • Time and Labor • Contracts • Portal • iProcurement • Guard Against the notion that Go-live is the end. Go Live is the Beginning. Don’t move on right away • Training: We have done big bang and little bang. I like big bang for ERP and little bang for CRM
