Partner scoped and quoted the work well, but our needs changed during implementation

No change

What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software? What else would you tell us about your project experience?
The lessons learned to me was works as one team vs company vs company. Two get a working model up and running as quickly as possible. It is easier to change one store vs whole company.
People Imports are hard and too complex – start the process early as it will take the longest.
