Software implementations are meant to automate tedious tasks, enable accurate and fast reporting, and streamline processes. When I, a digital transformation specialist, hear prospects in the professional services industry that low user adoption is a common problem, it frustrates me. 
There are many factors that impact user adoption rates; however, a few that stand out are: mobility, ease of use, the quality of training provided to users, and the cleanliness of data. Executive requirement of system use is imperative to high(er) user adoption as well. If management is not enforcing system use, let’s face it, the system is not going to be used by everyone.
The issue is that user adoption is not sufficiently considered during the process of selecting a new CRM system. If you are looking for a new system, and you want to guarantee high user adoption, here are some questions to ask:
- Is the system flexible in accessibility/mobility?
- Is there buy-in from most stakeholders at your firm?
- Is your firm ready to enforce quality and use measures?
