The team of Qando had a great and inspiring time in Prague. The city's history is impressive and we visited a number of special locations, including the [Klementinum](http://www.klementinum.com/en/) and [Villa Richter.](http://www.villarichter.cz/lang/en/)

Being the Gold sponsor of the first Zycus-event in Europe, Qando had the privilege of contributing actively to the success of this 3 day-congress. In particular, we hosted our own break-out session which was very well received: **Don’t Just buy and implement Procurement Software. Get it Adopted!**

During this session, we presented the importance ánd impact of adopting procurement software; we highlighted five important insights: 

- Adoption is about people;
- Starts with strategy and continues during the life cycle of procurement software;
- Needs an owner, we suggest to appoint adoption coaches;
- Needs senior leadership and corresponding KPI's; 
- Needs direct supervisor engagement.

Also, we mentioned the results we achieved by applying these lessons learned at one of our clients.

- 31% increase in user satisfaction
- 27% decrease in user errors
- 87% reduction in system errors
- More engaged and motivated Source2Pay workforce
- Higher job satisfaction and less employee turnover
- Faster onboarding of new employees
- Lower technology costs — fewer help desk inquiries, plus reduced support and training costs
- Fewer compliance issues
- Faster ROI for new procurement technology initiatives

We summarised all our experiences in the video below.
