Successful software implementation in the industry through structured planning and methodical support

Rollout support and change management
for Industry 4.0

Successful software rollout thanks to a sound rollout strategy and methodical support

The best software is useless if it is not used. That's why we help you to successfully implement your new software in production.

Existing processes in companies become established over time. The introduction of new software and the corresponding adjustments to existing processes in the context of Industry 4.0 place new demands on employees in production. It is therefore important to quickly establish targeted change management when implementing new processes in order to ensure the smooth rollout and operation of new applications.

Methodical success with a rollout plan

The aim is to use a methodical approach to reduce the uncertainty and disruption caused by the introduction of new software. The aim is to create a positive attitude within the company towards the upcoming changes and new requirements so that the topics of digitalization and Industry 4.0 are not seen as a risk, but as an opportunity. This maximizes sustainable acceptance of new processes and upcoming changes among all those involved.

Challenges during software rollout

According to recent studies, on average only around 10% of employees have a positive attitude towards major changes in the company, while around 60% are ambivalent. The remaining 30% are against change and will both actively and passively fight a successful introduction. This can happen both consciously and unconsciously in the sense of a "self-fulfilling prophecy". This can make the implementation of new processes more difficult and stand in the way of a successful rollout. The challenge is therefore to get these 30% ready for the upcoming new requirements as early as possible and to ensure that the negative attitude is not transferred to a larger part of the workforce.

Software is not used or potential is not exploited

Only software that is really used is good software

Lack of preparation

Introduction often without appropriate preparation

Lack of transparency of corporate goals

leads to rejection, lack of understanding and lack of motivation in the team

Lack of urgency

Urgency is not recognized by everyone as there is no clear objective

Inadequate communication

A lack of communication hinders the adoption of change

Lack of analysis of social structures

Expectations and dynamics are not taken into account

Lack of focus

Coming from a development perspective, reality in the company is underestimated

Addressing the problem

Possible obstacles are not identified at an early stage

"In production, even replacing a paper slip with another slip is a change task"

Successful rollout through professional support and change management

New processes are not simply adopted overnight. To support our customers in a successful rollout, we take our time, formulate an individual rollout strategy and accompany your project with customized change management measures. We get a picture of your company and the upcoming rollout project and analyze the background against which the new software implementation is taking place. In addition to external support during the rollout, internal change leaders are indispensable for driving the growing acceptance among the workforce over time. Defining goals and a concrete plan helps to implement the rollout of the project within the specified time. In addition, new processes must be explained and communicated in an understandable way in order to allay employees' fears of change; this requires a clear communication strategy.

With these targeted rollout strategies, new requirements and processes are more readily accepted by the workforce and our customers receive sustainable added value from the successful introduction of the software.

Customer testimonials

"Ultimately, in my view, it makes sense not to integrate a stand-alone solution into your process. From my point of view, this has never proved to be a sustainable solution at any pressing plant I have visited. And accordingly, I can only recommend fully integrating AI.SEE™ into the existing IT infrastructure and developing your own IT processes accordingly with your colleagues."
