CHP Consulting has launched the first and second of eight articles in its current series on how to transform an asset finance company through systems implementation, Right First Time.

The Right First Time series is aimed at companies looking to transform their business operations by implementing a replacement of core systems. This type of project represents a comprehensive overhaul of the way the business operates, and CHP Consulting’s experience allows a unique perspective that will help operators succeed at the first attempt.

The first article, entitled Preparing Your Organization for Success, discusses the ways an asset finance company can build a sound platform for delivering successfully and providing genuine value to the organization; such as identifying sponsorship, getting stakeholder buy-in and assembling the project team.

The second article in the series, Selecting the Best Partner, is concerned with selecting the right partner for an asset finance systems implementation project, and examines the shrewder measures that can be taken to bring this process to a satisfactory conclusion. It has a focus on how best to manage the RFI, RFP and workshop processes.

The remaining six articles - Defining the Right Project, Deploying Future-Proof Technology, Making Business Change Happen, De-risking Your Data Migration, Delivering Change and Realizing the Benefits and Making Complex Projects Run Smoothly - will be published throughout 2013.
