Conclusion

From the Paper:

"When Merrill Lynch & Co. rolls out new technology, the IT department allows the employees to give feedback. The IT department actually answers the e-mails that are sent and lets the sender know whether or not his or her suggestion will be implemented. This is very important, as the users ultimately decide whether or not the new technology is a good tool and is useful. Before the latest rollout, Merrill Lynch & Co. did not do their due diligence very well. The technology that was used was scrapped and written off because the functionality was not efficient. The field could not utilize it well and the whole program was terminated."
