Implementing the software – journey into the unknown?

20 Simple rules From

4 Entrepreneurs

Nitin Jain - @Nowfloats1

Results will not be immediate, one must be

patient with an application

Start early in your company, so adoption is

a MUST for everyone who joins later and there

is lesser resistance

Explain to employees how the application benefits all, and also to them, since it

helps them develop as individuals who understand new tools for their career

Involve feature updates, tweaks and improvements

in application after feedback from the team,

so they too feel ownership

Santosh Panda - @Explara2

Pick the external software based on their upcoming road maps &

strong community backing them

Check if there are other such software

competing in same space

Use external software as loose-coupled system i.e.

integrate via API with it, so there is less dependency

on the actual software causing issues to your in-

house/own software

Most software or system roll outs require some change in how we do

things - and people really hate change

Shivku - @Exotel3

While software can increase productivity for

a few people, it may decrease it for others -

There may be extra steps in doing the same

thing now

People may think of software as taking a part of their job away. Focus on moving up the value

chain and leave mundane things for

computers to do

Lack of procedure in who is responsible for which part of the implementation and

what the end goal + deliverable are

Ill-defined implementation or hand over process - Many times, the person

who buys is not the person who uses the software

Sri Krishna - @NEN4

Most software or system roll outs require some change in how we do things - and people really hate change

As someone who's failed at least twice (maybe more) in rolling out systems in multiple

companies, I'd say the biggest challenge is

cultural

Run the reports yourself, print them out, display in public - ask for them and review them in meetings, so that people know that

the CRM is being used and the data is being used.

In my mind getting buy-in and whole hearted support from the team that's going

to use the system is the single most important step to successful roll out of any

system
