  8. Project Management • A common reason organizations fail when implementing enterprise software applications is the shortage of time and manpower required for these implementations. Most of the time the employees are heavily burdened with their regular work and when given the added responsibilities of an implementation, they don’t have sufficient bandwidth to do it properly. • The complexity of implementing enterprise software products vastly differs from the development projects an internal IT shop normally implements and can adversely impact the project if not properly accounted for. • Enterprise software projects are always lengthy, so it’s tempting to not give them constant attention. But success lies in the details and constant oversight is essential. AMS has the expertise and experience to help you with your projects. We understand how vendors approach implementations and we safeguard your interests.

  9. Documentation & Training • Don’t shortchange training. One of the most dramatic ways of diminishing returns on a new software application is insufficient training of the users of the new software • A critical factor for the failure of enterprise software projects is the often misleading information given by the vendor about how the system actually works. Lack of tailored training for employees leads to confusions and slow working delaying full benefits of the software. • Vendors usually supply generic user documentation that does not have the system behaviors of your specific configuration. Documentation tailored to of your specific configuration can be essential to user adoption as well as your long term training efforts. AMS has the expertise and experience to help you get the most out of your new application software. We can provide supplemental documentation and training beyond what the vendors offer – tailored to your needs.
