I strongly agree with Michael’s advice. Additionally, give yourself enough time to think through the challenges as they arise during implementation. A tight timeline for implementation will save your bottom line, but not having the ability
to pivot during the process in order to meet that timeline may mean you end up with something less than ideal when you cross the finish line.
Also, try to engage key stakeholders (faculty, department researchers, etc.) throughout the process. Their buy in is key to change management, not to mention their departmental perspective on the process will help shape a better end product/process.
Good luck!

Subject: RE: [RESADM-L] Transitioning to Cayuse
The best advice I can give in that situation (and it applies to any eRA software solution, not just to Cayuse) is to use the opportunity to rethink your processes, policies, and procedures. Don’t just try to
automate what you’ve always done, in the specific way(s) you’ve done it: think of the processes, policies, and procedures you’d
like to have, and that would make everybody’s life better, and implement/automate those.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Transitioning to Cayuse
We are currently in the process of transitioning to Cayuse’s Sponsored Projects software. For those of you who use the software, is there anything we should know before we start using it? Anything you wish you’d done from the beginning?
Any advice in general?
Or any complaints?
😊
Thank you for your knowledge,
Michelle
