Closing Keynote – Harnessing Lessons Learned from A Complex Real Life Software Implementation CVS began a complex multi-year EHS software system implementation in 2019. In the process of overhauling their EHS data systems they stood up 8 applications and integrated their EHS Software with several other business systems. Along the way, they learned a lot about everything from phased implementation to system integration to user adoption. Come listen as the project lead, Dave Conway, shares their story and the recommendations they have for others considering this type of shift to a central enterprise EHS management information system. From what questions to be sure to ask, to considerations for system set up and reporting, Dave will share his thoughtful reflections and wisdom on what they got right, what he still hopes to accomplish and what benefits they are getting now that the system is live. Don’t miss this session which is sure to help you think through the value of investing in software and even offer some ideas for ways to tweak or improve your current system.
