Software implementation

Introducing new software can be disruptive, time consuming, and isn't something you usually do.

New software takes time to bed in and be effective. Making the right decision and achieving timely implementation is critical to success.

“We did an assessment that showed any one user working on their daily activities was across three to four systems. The most we had for one user was seven systems, just to do their day to day job”.

Johanne McKee, Systems Programme Manager
in Group IT
, Betty’s and Taylors Group

Keep your software project
on time, on budget,
and realise the benefits.

Getting off to a good start is critical to the time and cost of system delivery. You’ll need the right skills at hand to ensure smooth running, achieve the scope, the range of new functions, and accomplish your original goals - those business benefits in efficiency, productivity, and scale.

Great software implementation is about people, then process and finally the technology. Done well, your software implementation will be on time, on budget and deliver the scope, benefits and overall value to the business.

Governance

The top three governance docs all good project managers use

Assemble your team

For successful system implementation the essential team is a project sponsor, a business analyst, and a project manager.
The project sponsor is your decision-maker. We can add our strength to the team.

The business analyst

  • Engages the business and secures their buy-in
  • Elicits accurate business requirements
  • Considers what’s optimal for your people and processes

A good BA won’t tell you the solution straightaway.

The project manager

  • Keeps the project on track
  • Builds and manages great relationships with suppliers
  • Analyses risks to prepare for any setbacks

Elevate yourself to decision-maker and gain control and visibility from a good PM.

“Moda has grown so quickly, it wasn’t just the technology piece we needed to address it was optimising business processes, coordination and project management. Fluid helped with a considerable amount of that."
