Preparation for the implementation of information technologies

After forming a list of mandatory characteristics of the system, a detailed technical specification (TS) should be drawn up, which will determine the distribution of responsibilities and functions during the implementation of the product.
Once the full list is compiled, an understanding will emerge of what preparatory activities are necessary for more effective implementation of the project. Usually, at the stage of preparation for implementation, there is a need to make changes within the company in the following areas:
expert assessment and refinement of the organizational and management structure of the company. One of the key factors for the successful implementation of an IT solution is the presence of a clear and specific base on which it functions. At this stage, it is necessary to analyze the responsibilities of employees and departments of the enterprise, eliminate repetitive tasks and, if necessary, restructure by dividing or merging some departments to optimize their work;
Improving the technical base moj database of the enterprise is necessary at the stage of implementing information technologies. If the company does not have other highly complex products and employees do not receive a sufficient level of qualification to work with the new system, it is not worth expecting significant results from its implementation. It is necessary not only to provide all the required technical devices and communication means for the successful implementation of the new tool, but also to prepare related sectors that will be engaged in the performance of service functions, including the transmission and distribution of information, data storage, etc.;
Preparing employees to use the selected solution requires technical skills, including training in how to use the product being installed. Each specialist must master the functions necessary for daily work. Motivating employees plays a significant role at this stage: if they resist the new product, using outdated familiar technologies at every opportunity, the productivity of the installed solution and the return on investment will be much lower than expected.
