PROJECT MANAGEMENT
 

Make sure you have the right people managing your project!!!!!

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

             

Information Technology project management is a critical factor for selection, installation, conversions, and upgrades of information systems, regardless of how large or small the system. The success of a system installation, conversion, or upgrade can best be measured by the ability to function fully and efficiently the day you "GO LIVE".  This means that if you did not prepare fully, you won't know until it is TOO LATE.   Downtime cannot be tolerated and the  only way to insure success is to dedicate the necessary amount of preparation, testing, training time and effort dedicated to the project.  

In most facilities, current staff are not trained or experienced in conversion, nor do they have time available to devote to managing a project of this magnitude.  Let Gagnon & Associates insure a successful installation and maximization of features  by providing experienced personnel for clinical or financial system installation, conversion, or upgrade.
