From the Paper:

"Getting both customers and employees to change how they are completing the tasks is going to be the greatest challenge of launching the Web-based customer management system. Ensuring the highest levels of responsiveness to customers, providing the convenience of being able to develop fitness plans and schedule training sessions, and for employees, to collaborate with both customers and other employees needs to be the most critical goals of the systems development and launch. In fact the use of web-based applications to increase collaboration is a best practice of web-based applications (Klein, Russ , 2006). Change management, which is the study of the need for people to change when new processes and systems are put into place, is essential for the Web-based customer management system to be a success. The technological aspects of the systems development plan are important yet the change of how customers complete their fitness programs and how employees collaborate with each other."
