Project Management at OneSys
Onesys have managed the implementation of well-over 500 ERP and Business Management Systems over the last twenty years. Over this period, many of these systems have been migrated through a number of generations of technology, demonstrating the high level of client satisfaction with Onesys services.
Our success with project management is based on the following key guidelines:-
1. There must be clear identification of priorities with measurable goals; early successes must be achieved, delivering a positive momentum to the implementation and tangible value to the organization as soon as is possible.
2. A member of senior management must be fully committed to the implementation. With an active engagement with system outcomes, feedback from management on progress can be delivered to the project team and the importance of the project impressed on other members of the organization.
3. If at all possible, a project should be analyzed into a set of simpler tasks so that a project can be delivered with minimized risk in “bite sized chucks” where “tried and tested” is the maxim.
4. Communication, Communication, Communication!! A perquisite of success is the identification of lines of communication, responsibility and an escalation hierarchy so that project issues can be resolved as quickly as possible without unnecessary political complications.
The adoption of a new IS system is a often a significant change within the business but the use of these techniques will ensure a minimum of disruption to day-to-day activity and the delivery of maximum value on the organization’s investment.
After implementation, it is vital that an organization has confidence in its supplier of IS services so that when business growth or change occurs then the underlying system can evolve to support that change. The same principles that deliver initial success can be relied upon throughout the life-time of a system thus greatly reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO).
