- Old system might be faster in certain circumstances
- People might find change complex
- From a technology perspective, change may lead to incompatibility
- There might be data loss during migration
- It might be expensive (either in terms of money or time)
Change is not always easy. Thus the need for Change Management, before any change is applied what might make the process easier?
1) Plan - Before undertaking any change, a business needs to have a clear and valid reason and mission for the change process
2) Communicate - The most important factor in changing anything within a
business, small or large, is to communicate the change, and its many factors, to the key stakeholders within the organization
3) Integrate - If it’s possible for the change program of your
business to be adjusted, then open up your plans for consultation with your stakeholder group
4) Evaluate - It’s crucial that the organization, its passage through the change program, and the wider organization’s reactions to that change program are evaluated at every feasible opportunity
