Anytime you are introducing new technology to a client, you'll have your fair share of people who agree with you, and an equal amount of naysayers in that group too. This is an opportunity to talk about how you were involved in the process from start to finish, and where you encountered challenges, either with the software or personnel and what you did in a problem solver role to resolve those problems. If you look at it, the real purpose of introducing software to an organization is to improve the performance of a business. Give a couple examples of how you were able to get a consensus from department managers and their subordinates to move forward with the implementation. As you're going through these examples, be sure to mention how exactly they will be able to achieve their goals using the new software, and that you'll be able to bring value to the project immediately.

"I find that ultimately it's up to the client to make a final decision on whether or not they choose new software. It's up to me to provide all the necessary information needed for them to make an informed decision. There are many factors involved when evaluating new software. I'd like to provide some details about what goes into an evaluation and deployment of new software, and how challenges might be overcome.

1.Strategy and Technology Alignment - what are the goals of the organization, and how is the new software able to meet their business needs?
2.Is there Buy-in from senior leadership or stakeholders - Did management request to look at new software technology, or did it come from an external source?
3.Possible challenges that might come up - Is there anyone in the company that is against implementing new software, and why?
4.Will the new software integrate with existing technology infrastructure - Perform a system analysis to see if additional hardware is needed to support the new software?
5.Team training - How many people within all the departments will need training. My recommendation would be the train-the-trainer method.
6.Who will be maintaining the system once it goes live - Is there internal resources within the company with the proper expertise to maintain the system?"
