Harris Corporation decided to upgrade their information systems to better integrate information technologies into their business transactions. They acquired a new information system from another company to replace their old system. This was a transformational change that changed the tools used but kept operations the same. The IT department communicated the change two weeks in advance through memos and trained employees on the new system. Department managers and consumer representatives also helped communicate the changes. The company implemented the new system in modules over time to ease the transition, rather than a complete shutdown of the old system at once. This allowed employees to gradually adapt to the new system.
