Numerous stumbling blocks lurk on the path of a software implementation. For example:
- Lack of user acceptance
- Testing efforts are underestimated
- Connection to the surrounding systems is tackled too late
- Lack of change management in the company
- …
There are two different approaches for introducing new software: an iterative approach or bigbang implementation. Which of the two implementation strategies is right for you should depend on the initial situation, the motivations and the desired improvements.
A large number of aspects need to be taken into account to ensure that software implementation is a success. Here are just two of them:
Data protection
Since the introduction of new software is usually accompanied by the transfer of personal data, compliance with the GDPR is required.
Works council
According to § 87 I No. 6 BetrVG, the works council has the right of co-determination when it comes to the introduction of software. Accordingly, the works council must approve new software.
