Hi, Richard Schreiber here from RAS Consulting, the software whisperer with another question that often comes up, a frequently asked question. Now we have this software, it's ready to go into production. How long is it going to take to implement and what's the right way to implement it? And again, at RAS Consulting, we're all about helping businesses small and large deploy the right software solutions to better their business processes. So for how long it will take to implement that depends on a variety of factors really. Are you implementing new software replacing existing legacy software or are you replacing a manual process? Both of those will have an impact on what's the best way to implement. It's often called change management because it's important to engage those users that are going to have to deploy and work with this new software early on so you get their buy in and make them happy campers instead of putting up resistance later on when you're ready to go live. And by the way, videos work a lot better than written manuals. Another tip for the day. So again, this is Richard Schreiber from RAS Consulting, the software whisperer. Keep those questions coming and we'll talk to you next time.
