description A calibration system implementation is only about 20%-30% technology; the rest is culture and process. Calibration system implementation is also very time- and resource-consuming -- the risk of failure is high. Typically, it involves many different functions and departments within an organization and takes time to complete. To ensure a high quality, sustainable calibration system, there are some important aspects to consider and common pitfalls to avoid during implementation. The most common pitfalls include: 1. features, functions, price arms race, 2. unclear goal and purpose, 3. modelling an old legacy system into a new system, 4. failing to gain early user and stakeholder adoption, 5. the "Big Bang" implementation, and 6. under-resourcing and lack of project organization. Overall, avoiding the common pitfalls to execute a successful calibration system implementation will take a significant amount of combined efforts from both the vendor and the company. It will take due diligence from both parties to define the implementation processes needed.
