Take full advantage or your investment in ManagePro
It is every executive or manager's concern that their team will embrace and utilize purchased software as defined by the questions:
1) How do I set up the software so it works for us?
2) How do I get people to effectively use it?
The concern is warranted, as change management research suggests that more than 2/3's of all change initiatives (such as new software deployment) fail to meet expectations.
Don't get caught in the group that purchases but doesn't effectively deploy. PST has years of experience at assisting with the methodology and "people" change that needs to accompany utilization of a high performance software such as ManagePro. We offer our deployment service with a guarantee:
If you use our deployment service and follow our recommendations,
we guarantee that each license holder will be using the software effectively after six months,
or we refund the price of the software license of those non-performing individuals.
