Quick Tips from our MVPs:

Make sure you have an executive buy-in and someone committed to the project. Make sure they are involved, not an acquaintance. If Management is involved and pushes the project then team members will get more involved and not push tasks aside. Get buy-in from top so the bottom can also buy-in and the project becomes successful.
 
Make sure you do your due diligence in vendor selection. Now the vendor, their capabilities/experience, now how many projects they have done and references.

Make sure that the Project Team realize that this is your day job and they too have a day job but have to commit x hours to complete tasks, testing, etc.. to the projects success. If they do not understand they will have to work more hours, as part of their responsibilities, the project will fall or cost more money when tasks fall back on the partner to complete.

To help with implementation, get buy-in from all levels of the organization and always put it into context for the user. People are resistant to change, so you have to sell how the new system 'will make their working lives better'.

I didn't get to bring this up on the call, but when going through the implementation its always good to designate a 'business process lead'. For example, don't just hand all of the setup for AP tasks to the 'AP Department', instead designate someone whose responsibility it is to ensure that AP is configured correctly. Appointing one person in charge of all business processes will help ensure that the tasks get completed.
