Technology – we use it almost every second of every day, especially in the business world. Yet a lot of companies find themselves needing a new technology with no idea where to start looking to ensure all their business requirements are met. One way to succeed, as we’ve discussed in our other blogs, is by hiring a project manager. In addition to helping manage the entire process, companies receive many benefits from utilizing technology and project management together. Read below to learn three of the many benefits:

When investing in and using technology, you want to be sure you are using the right technology for your specific need(s). Project management ensures that this happens. A project manager will come in, assess all the current and future conditions the technology must meet/fix, and guide you through the process of selecting the best option for you. This is extremely hard to do personally, as you need an outside, objective perspective. While it may cost a little more upfront, the return you get from investing in the right technology comes back ten-fold.

Choosing the right technology is only one part of the process, equally important is making sure the technology is implemented correctly. Like planning, this is an extremely large endeavor, and is often where companies fail in the technology realm. Project management can assure that the implementation is done on time, while smoothing out the hiccups and road blocks that will arise. Experienced project managers with the ability to focus all the energy on monitoring the implementation, aids companies to receive the most return on their investment.

The last step to successfully investing in a new technology is having all stakeholders actually use the technology. Project management helps this process happen faster, smoother, and with the least amount of headache for those involved. How? By providing training and other resources for the stakeholders, so they understand their specific role and what they need to know. Project managers also educate stakeholders on why the new technology actually eases the daily tasks for all users, thereby generating a strong buy-in from everyone involved.

It is undoubtedly worth it to invest in the right technology to help your company and employees. As the three examples above illustrate, make certain you do so the right way. If you don’t, employees will often become bitter and resistant to changes and new technology, leading to more problems to overcome in the future. Our advice is to talk to a project manager before starting the process, then hire them to assist you along the way.
