As the construction industry continues to grow and evolve, companies must be able to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. One of the most important challenges that construction firms face is implementing new software systems like CMiC. While it can be tempting to try and handle the implementation on your own, it’s essential to have a dedicated team to ensure that the implementation process is smooth and efficient.
That’s where an implementation steering committee comes in. This committee should be comprised of senior leadership and key stakeholders from across the company. They will be responsible for overseeing the implementation process, ensuring that it stays on track and meets the company’s needs.
One of the most significant challenges that companies face during an implementation is finding the time and resources to dedicate to the project. It’s essential to select dedicated internal resources to the implementation. This will not only help with the overall budget but also ensure that the implementation stays on course to meet the targeted go-live date.
Having a steering committee in place will also help to ensure that the implementation process is well-managed and that issues are addressed quickly. They can act as a liaison between the implementation consulting team, like ProTek Partners – Construction Technology Services, and the rest of the company, keeping everyone informed and engaged throughout the process.
In addition to selecting a dedicated team, it’s also essential to establish a clear implementation plan with a timeline and milestones. This will help to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that progress is being made according to schedule.
By establishing an implementation steering committee and selecting dedicated internal resources, companies can ensure that their CMiC implementation is a success. With the right team in place and a clear plan in place, the implementation process can be a smooth and efficient process, helping companies to adapt and thrive in today’s ever-changing construction industry.
