Order Management System Project Mistake - Counting On IT To Do Everything

Continuing on in the 12 blog post series of mistakes that we have seen clients make before or after we are "on scene" to assist them with their order management, warehouse management, or inventory management systems project.

2 of 12.  Counting on IT to do everything

Success in order management system selection is driven by assembling a strong project team of all the departments that will use the system.  Order management system selection is not just IT’s project.  Large scale systems like order management software change everything about the way your company will do business.  The users want good order management systems, but one group or another either pushes responsibility off on the other or they don’t have input and buy into the process. Also, be sure to have executive sponsorship that supports the project from start to finish.  Be sure you have a project manager capable of coordinating and supporting project.  Don’t rely on the order management system vendor’s project manager to manage the entire project.  For large order management software projects this is a full time job, if you don’t have the resources seek assistance from experienced external resources to assist you.
