Brief Presentation Description
Making a move to a SaaS product SIS or ERP, is often more complex than many teams and institutions plan for. Vendor sales pitches and proposals for services often gloss over the roles that the institution has to play and the stress it can place on already overloaded employees.
This presentation will cover the tips and lessons learned, from our support of multiple campus migrations over the last few years, that a campus should take into account for any large project, including:
– How to build a successful project team and manage communications between team members
– Planning for client-side project and change management
– Planning for integrations and reporting conversions
