5.3 SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
Managing systems implementation involves
application development, testing,documentation, training, data conversion,
system changeover, and post-implementation evaluation of the results.
The initial task is application development, which
requires systems analysts and programmers to work together to construct the necessary
programs and code modules.
Before a changeover, the system must be tested
and documented carefully, users must be trained, and existing data must be converted.
After the new system is operational, a formal
evaluation of the results takes place as part of a final report to management
5 steps of System Installation & Evaluation
1)Prepare a separate operational and test
environment
2)Provide training for users, managers, and IT
staff
Training plan
The three main groups for training are users,
managers, and IT staff
Vendor Training
If the system includes the purchase of software or
hardware, then vendor-supplied training is one of the features you should investigate in the RFPs
(requests for proposal) and RFQs (requests for quotation) that you send to potential vendors
Webinars, Podcasts, and Tutorials
– A tutorial is a series of online interactive lessons
that present material and provide a dialog with users.
Outside Training Resource
You also can look into an independent training
firm to provide in-house hardware or software training.
Training Tips
Train people in groups, with separate training
programs for distinct groups
Interactive Training
– Online training
--Video tutorials
3)Perform data conversion and system
changeover
4)Carry out post-implementation evaluation of
the system
5) Present a final report to management
