To successfully integrate enterprise applications into employee routines, involve employees from the beginning and understand their needs. Communicate a sense of urgency for adopting new applications and carefully select impactful tools, while supporting users throughout the transition. Generate a positive user culture by encouraging collaboration, feedback, and support among users.

1. Involve
your employees from the start
Before you start making any software decisions, research your
departments. Talk to your employees. Understand their processes. Figure
out what they really need from an application - and what they don’t need.
Create
a sense of urgency
Communicate to your teams the need for the adoption of new
applications. Stress the benefits and opportunities (to them) of
the making this change quickly and efficiently.
Select
your apps with care
It’s all about quality of benefits and not quantity of applications. Focus your
choice of apps on helping employees in their working day. Introducing a
smaller number of focussed, intuitive and beneficial apps, which actually work
is the best strategy for employee adoption.
Transition
your teams firmly and fairly
Publish a proposed schedule for new app rollout with clear and
achievable user adoption stages. Monitor, measure and report on
take-up rates. Don’t forget - You’re looking for adoption; not
imposition at this stage.
Deploy
to all users simultaneously
Ensure that all users have access to new apps at the same time. This helps to
shorten the adoption transition period. Plus, phase out any ‘old’ processes
or methods as quickly as possible.
Generate
a positive user culture
Encourage users to communicate their experiences (+ and -) in an
open and collaborative way. Stimulate competition between users
and departments. Identify ‘champions’ and encourage these users
to educate, support and enthuse other users.
Support
your users at every step
Users will need help throughout the transition and adoption
process. Make sure it’s available to them. Encourage collaborative
support between users and make sure any significant user issues are
dealt with, and communicated quickly.
