knowledgeable implementation and support staff. You have purchased the
system of choice for today's successful companies and we feel that the following
procedures will help us help you.

Pick a System Manager

One of your employees will be appointed the System Manager and will be
responsible for learning the system completely. This person should have a good
understanding of day-to-day business and operational procedures. They should
also have access to your company's accountant. This person will be adequately
trained to train others in your organization, including new employees hired at
later dates. The System Manager is the person who should be consulted within
your organization if there is a question or problem and who calls Dimensions
support. This also insures that your employees won't be duplicating efforts by
calling in with individual questions, which someone in your staff can already
answer. We feel that the system works best for you when your people have a good
background in every aspect of its operation. This knowledge grows to be an
important asset for your company.
