Plan
for Speed
Fast implementations are one of the beauties of cloud software. In
a recent interview, Steve Miranda, Oracle executive vice president
of application development, shared three tactics companies use
to keep their cloud
projects on time and on target.
- Customize Where You're Unique: Pick the area
that really differentiates your business or industry, and spend
time personalizing and precisely configuring cloud software for
that area.
- For All Else, Follow Best Practices: For
applications that aren't strategic differentiators, rely on the
best practices built into cloud applications. Don't try to
customize the app to fit existing processes.
- Plan for Speed: During big software projects,
hundreds of small decisions need to be made about configuration and
design, but very few require input from a lot of stakeholders.
Smart companies make those small decisions quickly, knowing they
can go back and refine them. "They get that value of the initial
go-live, they learn from it, and they change," Miranda said.
