4 Major Drawbacks in Enterprise Configuration Management (1)

Change Management Models For Change Process In An
Organisation

• Enterprise configuration management is an immense
  topic where the organisation core is configured
  into one single source. This task is not at all
  easy and it may also face failure like many other
  systems. If you are handling such a project you
  play a huge role in fixing great parts of the
  project.
• There is no guarantee whether the project will be
  a success or not. So to save you from big ECM
  loss, we have provided some of the reasons which
  convey that your enterprise configuration
  management is not on the right track. If you also
  want to know the reasons when ECM fails, read
  this article, you would get detailed information.

• Trust Issues in Organisation
• ECM projects are huge projects which require lots
  of efforts to be thriving. There is an ongoing
  requirement of taking work from outside of the
  organisation.
• There are diverse teams working for the project,
  so the goals are also different. Some of the
  goals are totally contradictory to the goals of
  the organisation and that is the reason wide
  projects like ECM fails.

4

• You have to Test environment management before
  applying it. To reach the main goal of the
  company, there is a requirement that all the
  staff aim for one specific goal, keeping personal
  benefits aside.
• The basic requirement is, people must trust each
  other. They must think that the work they are
  doing should be advantageous to the whole company
  in the long run.
• Personal growth and goals must be kept aside. If
  you think that there are trust concerns between
  the team and its subordinates, the project will
  definitely fail.

5

• Overlooking the Bigger Picture
• As we discussed earlier the trust issues,
  overlooking the bigger picture is quite different
  than that of losing trust. The people who only
  have one type of excellence and only focus on one
  type of niche are not able to concentrate on the
  bigger picture. Such team members are engrossed
  in one thing that it gets hard for them to see
  the overall target.
• Focusing on small details is important but it
  doesnt mean you forget the huge implications of
  the project. As ECM is a significant challenge,
  you need more and more people to promote IT
  environment management tools.

6

• It is not a work of one or two people and you
  will be required a whole gang to fulfill the
  task.
• If you have lesser people to coordinate in this
  project, you will face big problems in the
  future. When you will choose a team whose sole
  mantra is ECM success, you are on the halfway.

7

• When Improvement is Null
• The improvement must not stop in any activity of
  the company. If the company will work in the same
  method without innovations or implementation of
  new strategies it wont be able to show good ECM.
• There are many ways by which you can improve the
  ECM of your business. Employee morale also plays
  a major role when comes to benefit of the ECM
  project. When the employee will be enthusiastic
  about the project, it will result in better
  understanding and delivering new ideas.
• If you are failing to select people who are
  appropriate for the definite project, you will
  lose the track.

8

• Users Do Not Use ECM
• This issue is really tough to detect. When the
  users are using the ECM system and they are
  hiding from you, it is again your failure.
• If such things happen with you, there is
  something wrong with your implementation
  technique.
• If someone is working in the system, guide them
  to work better and find newer ideas to solve the
  problem.
• It is not easy to solve all the problems but you
  can at least try your level best.
• As ECM is the most complex Test environment
  management tool, You have to be more conscious
  while using it.

9

• The Good News
• All these problems, issues are temporary. When
  you are firm to get the ECM successful everything
  will work out.
• Trust the people under you, trust the people
  working with you in the project. Take the opinion
  of the users of the project.
• Make changes in the patterns you are carrying out
  the projects. Know the main cause of the problem
  you have in the tool, fix it as soon as possible.
  There are no shortcuts when comes to Enterprise
  configuration management system.
