Change Management Lessons
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled
A better view of how NXT would be helpful to an organization. We implemented as part of a restructuring of our department and it really wasn't ready to the point and level we needed it to be. It was supposed to free up our database administrator so she could refocus some of her attention and it just didn't provide that. It's all a retrospect thing, though, and truly no reflection on the product itself except that people who make these decisions should have questions ready and if the answers received are not what they need, keep asking until it is resolved.

Change Management Lessons
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
It was a process, and took effort getting people to use it. It takes effort motiviating and training staff to use RE NXT, especially when they weren't using RE7 because of the challenge they had trying to navigate that program. With time it came that staff were using it more and feeling better about the program.
