Usability
Get your business processes in order FIRST!
Pros
- Since the software is built with your needs in mind, it can be tailored to your specific needs.
- System security is also created with your specific needs in mind and can be extremely detailed for various roles within the organization.
- The various modules integrate well, if thought through system processes when building.
Cons
- Consistent consultants has been an issue - trying to get someone that can help alleviate a problem when creating a new workflow was most challenging.
- The "smart client" and "web client" versions have items that cannot be done in both (not due to security setup) and causes users to work in both clients to perform their work.
Return on Investment
- Our business processes were in flux when the initial build of our system was taking place - this made lives very difficult. Make sure processes are set!
- Time - beyond what could have been imagined - this is a huge project, that needs proper resources assigned to it within a company when planning to install.
