Case Study in Unanet Adoption: Energizing the End-user Experience
Do you realize the benefits Unanet can provide, but have a hard time getting your employees to follow suit? Are your employees confused or hesitant to learn a more advanced feature? Implementation is important, but user adoption is critical to the success of your release.
Join CapTech Management consultant Ross Gilmore, Senior Manager, to learn best practices for gaining user buy-in for your Unanet implementation. CapTech will present how they went from using Unanet exclusively as a Timesheet and Expenses tool for over 12 years to transforming their business processes utilizing Unanet's complete Professional Services Automation (PSA) suite. Specifically, we will discuss the organizational change management strategies used to get employees through the change curve, address elements of resistance, and transition to enterprise adoption across varied user groups. These strategies can provide you with a framework to replicate success with your implementation.
