We really liked the ASP model. That was the deal sealer!
I would keep it the same.
Innotas Implementation
- Vendor implemented
- Implemented in-house
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation - We were already using MS Project Server so it wasn't a big change for us to make the switch. In fact, it was an easy change.
- PM struggled with making the switch from MS Project to the Innotas Work Plan
Innotas Training
- In-person training
- Self-taught
No, you definitely need a warm body to conduct the training. My training was conducted on line.
