Principle #1 - Planning
Principle #2 - Communication
● Things should be done in moderation, EXCEPT COMMUNICATION
Its almost impossible to over-communicate with the user population.
● Ensure a long-term return on investment resulting from reduced amounts of help desk
costs, take advantage of:
Policies to improve consistency of the environment
DDM improvements (modular correction actions, event clearing, etc.)
● Tracking and reporting during and after the deployment will ensure the success of the
roll-out. It will permit to see:
Any worrying trends and will also
Proactively address any issues that may come up, sometimes even before the users
are aware of them.
● Will quantify the value and benefits of the migration project and help get support from
upper management for subsequent projects of this nature.
