User acceptance of a system is critical to the success of a project. That is why icon-scm developed a training and certification approach that involves users at a very early stage. During the implementation project, icon-scm conducts workshops and training focused on business processes and their implications on planning results. By the time the system goes live, users know not only how to execute a certain task, but also what effect this action will have on the planning process. Users are able to effectively use the system from Day One – ensuring quick acceptance and overall project success.
