  IMPLEMENTATION

  How was the implementation performed?

  Did you have your own staff perform the installation, did the vendor do it for you, or were professional services leveraged?

  Do you use any other business software products that have similar features/capabilities? If so, what can you tell me about that experience?

  Is there something your former tool did that you wish this current tool would do?

  Is there a certification program that can help with implementation?

  Did the implementation take as long as you expected, or was it shorter/longer?
