Not having the processes, people, or information ready for information technology (IT) implementation means additional costs to the organization as well as the likelihood of setbacks to the project, as these elements are important.
Are my processes, people, and information ready for the implementation of a specific system?
The importance of making sure that the organization is completely prepared for the implementation of an IT tool
An IT implementation project is not a simple one; it involves topics of processes, people, information, and it typically covers all areas of business management. Many companies think that upon IT implementation, the rest of the key elements for a successful project (processes, people, and information) will fall into place automatically and there will be no roadblocks at all in the project. In reality it is very different; implementation in time and tool format is directly related to the way in which the organization prepares in three areas: processes, people, and information.
