Implementation methods
System Fundamentals[1]
Implementing can be defined as putting (a decision, plan, agreement, etc.) into effect[2].
Once you have carefully planned a system, you must implement the system. You wouldn't just plan a new system and throw it at a new user, would you?
Implementing a new system usually includes:
- installing new hardware
- installing software across the company
- setting up data sets ready for use
- training everyone on the new system
- backing up existing data in case of a problem
There are 4 common methods to implement a new system:
- Parallel
- Phased
- Pilot
- Direct
