technology at your organization is the
first step in a long journey – and it's easy
to get sidetracked

MAPPING OUT THE PROCESS
10. BEST PRACTICES FOR
MAINTAINING MOMENTUM
• Think about your ideal go-live date and work
backwards from there to determine your timeline.
• Identify key milestones and create internal deadlines.
This will help keep the project on track and
moving forward.
• Take notes along the way! Create a shared document
or folder of product details and demo notes to
remember the details of each
vendor's offerings.

11. READY, SET, IMPLEMENT!
• The implementation process is a critical element to ensure you get the most out of
your investment now and in the future
• The implementation should include:
• A mutually agreed upon project plan with key dates, key stakeholders, and deliverables outlined
• A project manager who can organize and optimize the process and, most importantly, understands
your organization’s industry and unique needs
• Strategy sessions with the project manager and executive team to collaborate on the best way to
configure the system and achieve your organization’s goals
• Onsite meetings and trainings for key milestones and functionality
• Data transfer and conversion into the new system from multiple sources
• Thorough testing and balancing to ensure accuracy and eliminate errors before go-live
• In-person training for administrators and managers on how to get the full potential of the software
• A seamless go-live!
