From my perspective, adding new technology is less than half of the battle to ensure success of any project. End user adoption is contingent on how much effort is put into change management. This can be tricky as change without communication and training leads to end user dissatisfaction and ultimately a failed project. Ceridian has introduced a toolkit to assist in the change management and best practices piece of new software implementation.

Ceridian Launches Essentials Organizational Readiness Toolkit For Dayforce Human Capital Management
Comprehensive Online Courses, Tools & Templates
Minneapolis, MN, June 23, 2014 – Ceridian announces the launch of the Essentials Organization Readiness Toolkit that includes online courses, tools and templates to prepare an organization – and all involved users, at every level - to successfully deploy Dayforce Human Capital Management and achieve maximum return on investment. Course modules discuss best practices for preparing for change and how to effectively leverage the content of the Essentials Org Readiness program. Essentials Org Readiness is easy to use, providing a blueprint of recommended activities by project phase.
“In the midst of new software deployment, organizational readiness activities are often overlooked, which can result in ineffective training and poor user adoption,” says Gord MacDonald, vice president of education, Ceridian. “Essentials Org Readiness Toolkit outlines the process and activities that businesses require to ensure that all users are ready to leverage Dayforce HCM. The Essentials Org Readiness program offers customers a pragmatic and effective way to manage organization readiness for their HCM deployment.”
“Whether it is time to upgrade an existing technology or rip and replace with a new one, change management is critical for adoption,” says Lisa Rowan, IDC Research vice president, HR and talent management. “Without the proper transition, companies will not be able to realize the full potential return on investing in the new tools.”
