Tip #7: Integrate OnePlace Over Time, But With a Deadline - Adopting OnePlace

Posted by Dana Larson on October 04, 2010

Sometimes gradually accepting a change is best. It gives the team time to learn about the new change, accept the change and begin implementing the change. This is exactly the recommendation we give to new OnePlace users - integrate gradually.

You need to take your time to understand the OnePlace features and how they will fit in with your business processes. Start using OnePlace for a couple projects, or for a couple clients. Or, use OnePlace to help build out the processes of one team. Then, once you’ve got everything figured out, roll it out to the rest of the team to use. This will help everyone understand OnePlace more easily, and they will like seeing users and data in the solution already.

One thing you need to be aware of, however, is that through this course of action you may have team members lagging behind in the adoption of OnePlace. So, when planning out how long you want integration to take, and what parts of your business you are going to put into OnePlace first, make sure you have a definitive deadline for when all work and communication will be taking place inside OnePlace. This deadline will clear up any miscommunication about the adoption process, and will give everyone on the team a date to shoot for.
