The basic keys to success for any automation project are:  

• A detailed and thorough requirements collection phase.
• An open, flexible and extendible solution
• Adherence to industry standards
• End users that are directly involved in the project even when the implementation is done by a third party. The goal is for the end users to be familiar with the end product and be able to perform minor modifications and maintenance without having to resort to expensive outside help everytime. On the other hand, the systems integration provider should provide regular software enhancements and support.
