Nominator Comments:
The team (comprised of Beverley Jarrett, Celia Vecchiarelli, Demi Jin, Gaya Veeraswaminathan, Philip Mansfield, Ruth Williams, Shirley Crocker and Tony Lo) worked hard last year to take the old, outdated software and replace it with the new and improved Sage lntacct Financial System. The process was a large undertaking that had the implementation team working with team members across the entire organization to engage subject matter experts. They were able to work through the complexity of leaving the old software behind, taking care in this process to hold onto the important core functions and let go of parts of the systems that weren’t serving us. The team was able to really modernize our system! The team was trained on all functions, even those that did not directly relate to their role and allowed them to test and explore-strengthening the outcomes by opening input from all and enhancing the team approach. The best example is how the team was able to rally together during a short 3-week “user acceptance test phase”. The team collaborated with each other to make sure that the project was complete even with such a short runway of 3 weeks.
