Summary/Abstract: The present article underlines the significant importance of the human being and its adaptation to new conditions (application of change management) in case of a new IT technology implementation in a company. Even if major management changes of paradigm can be observed, the road to a management based on efficiency and not only on economic rationality is still a long one. Because of the market pressure and necessity of project cost reduction, the IT implementation is done quickly and this fact is causing high support costs after the Go Live of the project. Change Management is a prerequisite for an IT implementation project. The support offered to the employees during all project phases, for ensuring a good understanding of the issues can be seen like a survival kit for the project. These changes must be followed, evaluated and monitored and in case of failure, it has to be reacted immediately. Failure is caused by lack of knowledge in employee’s behavior or by the inadequate vision of the management related to change. Avoidance of failure can be accomplished by the detailed organization of change management application inside the project phases.
