Implementation Overview • 250+ Professional Services users • Shared resources across geographies • Temporary Staff • 6 month implementation • Complex data conversions • 3 Test Cycles • Worldwide rollout live in October 2005
Implementation Successes • Committed & accountable core project team • Stuck to the plan – Milestones met successfully • Trained and developed internal support staff • Adapted standard processes • No customizations • Quick turnaround on key decisions • Leveraged “Best Practices”
Implementation Challenges &Lessons Learned • Carefully and conservatively estimate the resources and time required for data conversion from multiple, disparate systems • Identify and document reporting functional requirements early in the implementation cycle. Multiple systems led to increased need for enhanced reports (Discoverer, 6i) • Identify specific resources to focus solely on training course development and delivery • Focus on the ‘people’ aspects of the implementation – Organizational Change Management is Key • Ensure appropriate business representation from business units and regions worldwide throughout the implementation • Don’t under-estimate the cross functional impacts to other departments (HR, AP, AR, Purchasing)
