Rapid Deployment: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Big Themes:


· There are bottlenecks in the process, the wheels fall off, and
the scope keeps changing – this is hard work!


· 85% of the time you’re going to be working with the SI partner
and not the software vendor themselves –as in SAP, Oracle,
Workday, etc.


· With rapid deployment you’re not going to get an army of
consultants. You’re going to get fewer people – and they’re going
to be cross-functional.


· Bonnie answers a “Quick Quiz” on how the customer has to have
the right expectations, and has to free up the resources to get
the job done.


· She compares this to a marathon: If you hit a wall at mile 18
it will be bad. But if you’ve done the training ahead of time,
it’s going to be amazing.





The Big Quote:


“You really want to have confidence that the people leading the
process have been there, done that, and done it successfully.”
