Installation
Redex ERP installation is approached with a project management methodology. These activities are quite disciplined and team-managed. The project manager leads the project management execution activities. The business leader, president, or general manager takes on the project leadership and sponsorship role. For the project manager, employees in this practice are members of the project team. It is expected that members working in the installation team have at least two years of experience, have fully embraced the company’s mission and vision, clearly identified their expectations from the system, and work in coordination with other members.
