THE EXTENDED TEAM
A Print MIS system impacts all areas of your business. Make sure you have executive buy-in at the highest levels. Also, you will need to engage staff across multiple departments to ensure you cover all areas of your business which will eventually be end users of the software. Try to select people who are knowledgeable, respected by their peers, and comfortable with change. They will be your go-to staff for implementing change.
