Digital Feature: So you’ve rolled out new software. How do you make it stick?

It is a great feeling when a software project ends – the system is installed, the users are trained and adoption seems to be trending up.

This is a common situation, and as vendors of enterprise software solutions, we here at Hexagon may see it more than most. So, what do companies do? What works?
