Learn how to avoid common pitfalls 

Software implementations can be tricky. There are so many things that can go wrong, and it's often hard to know what to avoid.

In this edition of Coffee talk below, we will take a look at the scope of work for software implementation and discuss some of the issues you need to avoid. By understanding these issues ahead of time, you can minimize the chances of problems occurring during the implementation process.

Join Andy and Jamie as they take you through some of the highlights and offer up strategies to make sure you have a successful implementation. These strategies can be applied to most software implementations. Let us know if you have any follow up questions! ERP.Simplified@govirtualoffice.com
