IT – a key success factor
Installing a content management or product information management system is basically an IT project. It involves integrating a new system into the existing IT landscape. Upstream and downstream interfaces have to be operated or "tapped" to enable a translation memory, in an image database, a terminology database, a Controlled Language Checker and other systems to be linked up.
With regard to the interfaces and migrating and transporting data to and from other systems, it is important to set priorities from the start and point the process in the right direction.
Basing decisions on a sound foundation
The challenge, however, is not just in resolving technical issues and redefining processes, but also in getting the stakeholders from the different departments to sit together at one table, clarifying responsibilities and creating a consensus about decisions and priorities.
The use of tools such as a decision matrix can help to make rational decisions. We discuss the importance of the required functions, the must-haves and the nice-to-haves of different systems with all those involved, and help you to assess their importance, always with the feasibility of the project in mind.
We keep an eye on your targets, budget and project success.
