| User Adoption: The Fuel That Drives eSourcing Success | As the level of user adoption becomes one of the major criteria in the successful implementation of any eSourcing software two critical evaluation parameters emerge which can help eSourcing software providers gain wins in this market. These include ease of use at the product level and strong customer support and training at the service level. Thus it becomes essential that the newer offerings offered by vendors are not only easy to use and go into action with a minimum amount of training but are followed up by top level customer support not just during the implementation process but also after the solution is in place. This paper focuses on how and why user adoption is the key factor to achieve ROI from your eSourcing software. | 09/01/2010 | 278.6 KB |
