Technology Selection, Design & Implementation

In implementing new technology, CRE/WR leadership, IT, and procurement partners must:

Engage all stakeholders

Through their input, define what’s critical to your operations and the organization’s success; this allows you to develop clear business and technical requirements for selecting vendors.

Be realistic about what technology changes can and should accomplish

It isn’t possible, efficient, or effective to automate everything. Align your objectives with the business and technical requirements identified by your stakeholders.

Assemble a project management team

Equip the team with tracking and management tools to manage schedules, costs, issues, and risks.

Identify and document the appropriate technology solutions

With the proper level of details, your technical specifications will circumvent the possibility of misinterpretations and misunderstanding, simplifying downstream design, implementation, and testing efforts.

Circle back

Follow deployment by 1) rolling out the necessary level of people training and systems support and 2) rolling up anything associated with the legacy systems that are being retired.
