3 Ways to Make PSA Implementation a Success
Let’s face it: Implementing a new PSA tool can be a challenge. But with a little prep you can ensure a successful rollout of Autotask. Here are 3 strategies we recommend:
- A necessary first step is to identify your company’s Autotask champion. Your champion should have strong knowledge of your business’ operations; know the requirements and desired outcomes of implementing a new tool and understand which parts of the business could benefit from an automation tool like Autotask PSA. Your Autotask champion may be one person or a team. Autotask client service managers provide training materials, consultation sessions, webinars and configuration techniques to assist your Autotask champion throughout the implementation process.
- Once you’ve got your champion, it’s time to get to the nitty gritty. You’ll need to know what you want to migrate to Autotask, and hate to break it to you: you’ll want to clean it all up. Starting with fresh, accurate data will make implementing Autotask a smoother experience. Give serious thought to how many years of data you will need to move to Autotask and what your company’s goals are for that data. This will get the gears of implementation going.
- Pick a go live date (one of the most important things you can do). Having a go live date sets the timeline for your implementation milestones. Establishing a timeline lets your Autotask champion plan accordingly for the internal processes that need to be completed for a successful rollout on your go live date.
Your implementation goals and objectives should center around your business processes that will be managed in Autotask, reporting requirements and the reasons for moving to a new PSA tool. Let us know what these are, and we’ll deliver.
