Think you might need new business software? Do it right the first time!
Changing your business software - when it's done properly - can create competitive advantage, it can streamline your business processes, provide greater efficiency and better insight to how your business is tracking. However, when it's done poorly it can put your business - people, customers and suppliers - under enormous stress and can damage both your business and reputation.
At best, your investment in time, energy and money will be repaid many times over, but at worst it can be an expensive and pointless exercise that places your business at great risk.
The good news: there are some fundamental step to take to ensure you're making the right decision for the right reasons, and some tips and tricks on what to look for, and what to avoid.
Join us at this free workshop, hosted by Mike Dennehy, and learn;
-
An overview of the main reasons you may consider new business software
-
How to go about evaluating the available systems
-
How to go about selecting and implementing the new system with the greatest chance of success.
