Pitfalls & Recommendations
Balance Flexibility with Cost Effectiveness
• High level of experience configurability
increases solution complexity
• Ensure a default experience configuration and
then start fine tuning
Ensure maturity of business operations to
embrace the new capabilities
• To minimize the need for IT involvement
increased business engagement is required
• Skills & knowledge to fulfill the experience
authoring requirements have been challenging
