The Challenge of Resistance to Change

Organizations of all types often face resistance to change when it comes to implementing new technologies. This resistance may come from staff who are used to established ways of working, concerns about potential disruptions, or uncertainty about whether the new solution will deliver promised benefits. Overcoming these challenges requires a solution that builds trust and demonstrates real value while minimizing disruptions to daily operations.

How enCodePlus Helps Overcome Resistance to Change

Respect for Traditional Workflows

enCodePlus recognizes that counties, cities and towns of all sizes are required to retain printed versions of codes and plans. One of the benefits of enCodePlus is that it not only digitizes these documents, but the easy-to-use tools also enable local governments to print them in the traditional format when needed. This flexibility resonates with many communities, as it ensures they can comply with requirements without sacrificing modernization.

Seamless Integration for Minimal Disruption

One of the key ways enCodePlus helps communities overcome resistance is through seamless integration with existing systems. By minimizing disruptions and ensuring a smooth transition, enCodePlus makes the adoption of new technology more comfortable for staff. Our platform is built to integrate easily with the software and tools that municipalities are already using, ensuring that the transition feels more like an upgrade than an overhaul.

Building Trust with Training and Ongoing Support

enCodePlus offers comprehensive training and ongoing support to help staff feel confident with the new technology. By providing in-depth training during onboarding and continued support afterward, we help users understand the value of enCodePlus and feel comfortable using it.
