The needs of your organization are constantly changing—from overcoming challenges to supporting organizational growth—and your technology needs to adapt to those changing needs. However, there’s a dangerous misconception that business management software can be one-size-fits-all; that simply purchasing licensing from a top technology will produce an out-of-the-box solution that will easily plug-and-play to support your organizational needs.
This is far from the truth. While many of today’s leading solutions can be implemented in such a way, to truly gain an ROI from your technology investments, it requires aligning the solution to your people, processes, and priorities.

One of the most important things to keep in mind as you plan for a technology implementation is setting realistic timelines and transition goals. Since every organization is unique and has different needs, we’ve created a calculator to help you determine a rough estimate of a project timeline. Put in your desired go-live date below to see a recommended start date and timelines for two scenarios: a highly efficient implementation and a standard implementation. How do you know which category your project fits under? Its level of complexity. Use our complexity calculator for an estimate of how complex your implementation will be.
How many integrations do you have?
How many entities do you have?
Do you have business processes which are unique to you within your industry?
Do you have a legacy system with customizations and workflows?
How open is your organization to change?
How many users do you expect?
COMPLEXITY:
Now that you have an understanding of the expected timeline and complexity of your project, our Technology Buying Guide will walk you through the process from start to finish.
