Soleil Panel Distribution: SolDistHR Software Implementation
Leveraging an IS solution can help Soleil Panel Distribution achieve operational efficiency by refining training, security, and customer service processes. For instance, the company is experiencing some challenges in improving its training process, given the high monthly increases in personnel. Learning management systems are an example of an IS solution that can help plan, implement, and evaluate the firm's training process. Moreover, cybersecurity software tools, including firewalls, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) services, and antivirus software, can improve security efficiency. On the other hand, there are customer services tools such as a help desk ticketing systems, live chat, and social media monitoring tools that can improve Soleil Panel Distribution's customer service efficiency.
Business process management (BPM) can help the IT department develop SolDistHR by providing a framework for eliminating human error and process gaps in the project. The BPM lifecycle has five phases: design, modelling, execution, monitoring, and optimization. By following the five steps, Soleil Panel Distribution will have more visibility of the project and fewer costs. The five steps of change management could be applied to the project by logistically and culturally preparing the organization for the software application, developing a vision and action plan for its implementation, executing the project, embedding the use of the software application within the organization's culture and practices, and monitoring as well as evaluating the project (Ting et al., 2009).
