An Implementation Partner you can trust
We predict you’re either switching to, or beginning with, a brand new system. Alternatively, the system you have requires upgrading. Either way, we can help.
Now don’t feel overwhelmed by the steps an ERP implementation has. You may have heard that the implementation stage of any ERP project is often the longest and comes with the most risk. We won’t deny that fact. We want you to trust that each step has its purpose of supporting the success of the project. Be assured that choosing to work with Gradient Transforming will mean working with experienced people who can assist you every step of the journey.
A Roadmap to Success: ERP Implementation
Pre-Design – Focused on understanding as-is processes and the requirements for a new or upgraded system.
Design – Working towards a to-be design. Think of workshops, system alignment, gap analysis and training.
Build – Time to set up and test the system, ideally supported by your IT or system administration teams.
Pilot – The key to this phase is to ensure that the users testing the system don’t lose control or focus.
Optimise – Final piloting, end-user training and a full transition from the old system to the new.
Deploy – The system is live, but this is not the end. Review regularly for optimum performance.
