A system implementation is a set of procedures set up and performed to make a new system available for general usage. Most organizations approach their implementations based on the several preferred delivery styles: direct cutover for system replacement, big bang feature transition, or phased change iterations. Some organizations pre-stage their implementations using transitional pilot periods or parallel runs to extend system validation and check-outs. And some use prolonged post-delivery monitoring periods to ensure that obstacles are appropriately resolved or planned for follow up adjustments.
NETSource Consulting can greatly help you in this systems area. We use our experience from hundreds of implementations to develop the most appropriate systems delivery plan with you. We use a formal model to help you correctly shape implementation planning components for validation check-outs, readiness checks, transition days, and post-delivery follow ups. We are flexible to support your longer-term parallel or pilot periods where we keep track of the items that may need to be looked at between the new and old systems. And working with you, we can help triage overlooked obstacles with formal root cause analysis so that you may prioritize and choose to adjust the new system elements now or later.
