However, when it comes to implementing major new systems, experience shows that Pre-Implementation Planning and determining the plan for Go-Live and Post-Implementation Support are essential factors for enabling a project’s overall success and its ability to achieve expected project benefits. Join us for a discussion about what activities, objectives, and elements are addressed during Pre-Implementation Planning and in preparation for Go-Live and Post-Implementation Support and how they will make a difference on your project.
