There has to always be a business justification, if a company is going to spend a lot of money they must have a need for software, so first of all the software has to have a solid value proposition, so there should be a gain or benefit because of its use:
ROI = (GAIN FROM INVESTMENT-COST OF INVESTMENT)/COST OF INVESTMENT
A business implements a software and all of the stakeholders or trading partners use the software you will have a higher Return on Investment.
Vendor election is very important for a business because the software success will depend largely on the maintenance and installation process a company gives them , that is why installation and change must be very swift and not cause stress for the business and their employees.
To make sure that a project is executed according to plan there must be a set governance structure, this enables people to be able to hold themselves and other accountable for problems that might occur during the implementation process.
When a software will be upgraded or a new software will be implemented many problems emerge because people are already used to what they have and many people suffer from fear of change.
Because of this fear of change, people don’t pay attention to the training and then businesses spend a lot of money on things that will then not be used, not because of the SW not working properly or not being good enough but because employees in a company did not pay attention to the training and do not know how to use the new systems.
A lot of info may be lost or repeated when software is changed, you need to check for the info not to be repeated or erased. So when the system is implemented, it not erase (you should get a backup) or repeat information.
