Spending my days at IMP immersed in OMS conversions and upgrades, I have seen first-hand the repeated problems that arise from managing complex databases and the difficulty in accessing truly useful information from the mounds of OMS library data. Compliance projects continually present challenges that require agile thinking and adaptable solutions. Here’s 3 insider tips to ensure your compliance projects turn out successfully.
EFFICIENTLY ORGANIZING MOUNTAINS UPON MOUNTAINS OF DATA
When I was first exposed to just one piece of the data from a current client project at IMP, I faced over 300,000 pages of failed records in our project management system. Our team would work through these failed records to identify trends and log issues, but we often found ourselves needing to circle back through the data. In response, our team established a sophisticated technology for documenting the issues clearly, and with more comprehensive queries, we saved invaluable time on future research.
TRANSLATING COMPLEX PROJECT NEEDS INTO CLEAR ACTIONS AND DELIVERABLES
When analyzing the “mountains” of your data, we make sure as we go along that your main goals in identifying problems within your system get clearly articulated. We use status meetings to tweak the top end goal of any research and by doing so prevent repeated work. To further ensure efficient use of our clients’ budgets, our team at IMP logs the action items from every meeting to ensure the specific deliverables needed.
CREATING EASY ACCESS TO THE MOST RELEVANT INFORMATION
Client managers when overseeing all the work being done on an OMS project find it not always clear what to focus on. To help with this, we created dashboards that display the exact impact or progress on an item to inform our clients’ decisions. With the use of adaptive status reports client managers can quickly get the most important information they need.
At IMP, we constantly work to improve efficiencies to ensure client success. We’re continuing to tackle new complexities and innovative ways to further streamline OMS conversions and upgrades, so stay tuned!
