Implementation: Old to New
|
|
An existing set of processes and legacy databases sits in front of any
project team - all of which require identification, evaluation,
and planning. Which old procedures will be integrated into the new
system? Which data fields will be
used out of the thousands provided by the new product - and how will
they be used?
Before looking at the data issues, it may be worthwhile to revisit
issues, expectations, and requirements of each affected business unit
to increase the likelihood of gaining
user acceptance.
In some cases, organizations will have selected a product without gathering
detailed requirements or may have run into major challenges during
an implementation. In
both cases, the
DecisionDirector 3.0 platform
delivers a process that allows fast track planning to ensure successful
project completion.
