You Won’t See The Benefit
Most of the time when you upgrade your computer systems you’ll get a whole host of new features that make life easier for all of your employees, if they use them that is. If you don’t train them properly, they’ll just carry on using the same features that they had on the old software and not making use of the new ones. In short, nothing will really change. Most companies will offer some kind of training to go along with their software, for example, you can go to Altium training seminars to help you get the most out of their design software. If you aren’t making use of these resources, you won’t get the full benefit of the new software.
Waste Money
Upgrading software is usually pretty expensive so you need to ensure that you’re actually seeing a return on it. If it helps you to be more efficient, you can do more work in less time and increase your profits. It can also help you to reduce costs around the office. But you only see all of those savings if you use it properly. If you don’t, all of the money that you spent on it in the first place goes straight down the drain.
One cost that people forget to factor in is the lost time during the transition. There’s going to be at least a couple of days where the office won’t function properly and you won’t be bringing in any money.
Too Many Mistakes
The whole point of doing this update is to make things more efficient, not to slow everything down. But if you don’t train your staff probably, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Letting them loose on a piece of software that they don’t understand is just going to result in a whole load of mistakes. Every single one of those mistakes is lost time, and trying to rectify them is just costing you money. As well as costing you time and money, it also makes your IT team pretty much useless. If they’re spending all of their time fixing unnecessary errors that people are making while they try to get to grips with new software, they won’t have any time to do their normal day to day jobs.
Getting a software upgrade wrong can lose you a lot of money, so always train your staff properly.
