10. • It is in this phase that human factors are taken into
consideration.
• While every implementation is going to involve a significant
change in number of employees and their job
responsibilities, as the process becomes more automated
and efficient, it is best to treat ERP as an investment as well
as cost cutting measure rather than a downsizing tool.
11. 6.Customization
– In this phase, the ERP package is modified to suit the business
processes of the organization
7.Implementation team training :
• This is the phase where the company trains its employees to
implement and later run the system.
• Takes place along with the process of implementation.
• Employee become self sufficient to implement the
software after the vendors and consultant have left.
12. 1.Testing –
– This is the phase were the system that is being
implemented is tested for any problems, bugs,
errors, etc.
9.Going live –
– This is the phase where ERP is made available to
the entire organization.
– The system is officially proclaimed.
– Once the system is live the old system is removed and
the new system is used for doing the business.
13. 10.End-user training –
This is the phase where the actual users of the system will be given
training on how to use the system.
11.Post implementation –
To reap the fruit of the implementation it is very important that the
system has wide acceptance.
There should be enough employees who are trained to handle
problems those crops up time to time.
The system must be updated with the change in technology
