Dynamics Day 2013 is focused on giving Microsoft Dynamics users the information they need to get the most out of their investments in the Dynamics range, or to help organisations who are considering any of these solutions insights into what’s possible and what’s on the roadmap in the future.
Why do IT projects struggle? With careful planning and proper change management, organisations can improve the likelihood of a successful solution implementation. Intergen’s James Page and Mark Anderson provide an overview of change management, and how balancing the needs of people, processes and technology can help to deliver more successful outcomes.

26. Fact
It has been identified that the most significant correlation to
benefits realised in an ERP implementation is the amount of
spend on change management.
In layman‟s terms, the more an organization spends supporting
its people and their transition, the more it receives; the less it
spends, the less it receives. It really is that simple.
