Conducting a survey part way through the deployment allowed MS IT to understand the user experience Lessons Learned Tight communications with Regional Management Formalize the trickle-down effect for information Simplify process steps. Consolidate documents in fewer places. Engage local management (in an organized, coordinated manner) to buy in and encourage adoption. Plan installation fairs closely. Do not overstaff. Events should promote deployment and share resources, not just showcase the new features 9
