Go Live and Evaluation in ERP Implementation


GO LIVE AND EVALUATION

Sample Final Go Live Countdown Checklist Sample
1. Physical inventory process is complete.
2. Beginning balance entry procedures are developed for all modules.
3. Any transition issues are addressed.
4. Documents & modifications are tested thoroughly.
5. Executives and departments heads are fully trained.
6. Vendor is available for go-live day.
7. Users will have assistance during their first live transactions.


Evaluation: Develop a structured evaluation plan which ties back to the goals and objectives that were set in the planning stage. In addition, a post-implementation audit should be performed after the system has been up and running for the first week for reconciliation purposes and three to six months following to test whether or not the anticipated ROI and business benefits are being realized. Comparing actual numbers with previously established benchmarks will reveal if the software tool does what it is intended to do - add value to the business. It is important to periodically review the system's performance to maximize ROI.
