Keep Existing Systems!

CMIS works the way that you work. Like to use spreadsheets? That's fine. Use MS Project, or Suretrack, or FastTrack? No need to change. Contractors only use fax? That's ok too!. Your team only has do a few things diferently. Start using email and calendars as a group. The secretary must use a scanner (same as a copier). And everybody has to try to use a simple indexing system. Take Small Steps. Keep Risks Low. Look for Multiple Paybacks.

Easy to Learn. Works just like email... but so much more powerful. Most people learn the basics with only 4 hours training, then pick up the fine points asking questions by phone.
