With user adoption being the most frequent reason for ECM implementation failures, number one on this list speaks directly to that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Written by\u00a0Joan Honig<\/a>\u00a0– When companies start looking at document management<\/strong> software, they may initially focus on the backend and overall functions and features. Instead, they should be asking, \u201cHow well would this system work for our average user?\u201d Having the best functionality isn\u2019t worth much if half of the people on your team can\u2019t figure it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that document management<\/strong> is a cross-platform application. To get the most from the solution, it needs to be usable for everybody, from accountants and engineers to the business office and employees who work on the factory floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re changing behaviors inside of a company to achieve business value, if user adoption is slow, it\u2019s going to take longer for an organization to realize<\/em> that value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through targeted and well-planned training, users should quickly be able to see how\u00a0document management<\/strong> solutions<\/a>\u00a0benefit them every single day. A focus on training and rapid user adoption increases a company’s speed toward meeting its goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
