The Challenges of Technology in Production: Issues Post-Deployment

December 19, 2025 - 03:27

Dr. Gulzar Singh examines the critical phase of technology implementation, emphasizing the often-overlooked challenges that arise once systems are launched and operational. Many organizations invest heavily in digital capabilities, yet a significant number of these technologies fail to perform as expected after deployment.

The initial excitement surrounding a new system can quickly fade when users encounter unforeseen issues. Common problems include integration difficulties with existing processes, inadequate training for staff, and insufficient support for troubleshooting. These factors can lead to decreased efficiency and frustration among users, ultimately undermining the intended benefits of the technology.

Moreover, the rapid pace of technological advancement means that systems can become outdated quickly, necessitating constant updates and maintenance. Organizations must prioritize ongoing evaluation and support to ensure that their digital tools remain effective and aligned with operational goals. Addressing these post-launch challenges is essential for maximizing the return on investment in technology and ensuring long-term success in production and operations.
