The implementation project team includes both client members and 4Site implementation specialists. Choosing the right people for the implementation project team is crucial for a successful outcome.

Client members of the team must be knowledgeable, enthusiastic and capable of building commitment to project goals. Ideally the client Project Team should represent all departments affected by the proposed systems. To ensure that the resulting system meets the needs of all in the organization, key individuals should thoroughly understand corporate policies, standards, procedures, processes and functions within their specific areas.

Developing performance measures and targets is critical to ensuring compliance with the plan and controlling expenditures. Beginning with a 4Site implementation template, the project team identifies required tasks and assigns responsibility to groups and individuals. As the project progresses, the plan will be reviewed and revised to accommodate tasks that were not anticipated and to reflect schedule and personnel changes.

Implementing 4Site, a corporation-wide system, presents a wonderful opportunity to examine current business practices, optimizing efficient processes and data structures and updating or getting rid of obsolete and inefficient components. Project members collaborate on customizing processes, and on reviewing and setting up all major data components such as equipment, organizational chart and accounts.

During the software selection process, most companies will have documented current practices and requirements. By tapping into 4Site flexibility and customization options the team ensures that the system will adapt to business practices now and in the future.
