Implementation

Our Rapid Implementation Plus (RI+) project management methodology is currently in its third release. This is a result of our time tested methodology and PeopleSoft "Compass Methodology". The Basic Premise of the RI+ methodology is that significant value can be created by using business processes inherent in an ERP product rather than by customizing them to suit existing business practices.

The Essential Principles of RI+

        Let Users to buy into the Product.
        Involve and empower users.
        Go Live early. Phase out customizations.

How are these principles applied? Involve users very early
Involve users very early in the functional analyses. Use Product Walkthroughs to familiarize them with the application, using sample databases. We call these Familiarization Databases. These Familiarization Databases contain setups and parameters representing the business practices and naming conventions of the user organization.

Cross train users in related modules
Cross train users in related modules so that they are conversant with the impact of each of their modules.

Encourage users to define a minimal system scope
Encourage users to define a minimal system scope that will enable the organization to go live with the product very early in the implementation. This allows the users to familiarize themselves to a greater degree with their respective functional areas.

Phase-out the customizations & introduce customizations in phases
This results in reducing non-key customizations and thus enhances maintainability, simplicity, and scalability to newer versions.

Eight Phases of RI+:

        Phase 1: Pre-implementation Planning
        Phase 2: Product Walkthroughs
        Phase 3: Fit/Gap Analysis (Transparent Training)
        Phase 4: Develop Baseline Functional Specifications
        Phase 5: Vanilla implementation / Base Upgrade (Includes Testing)
        Phase 6: Key Customizations
        Phase 7: Testing
        Phase 8: Go Live
