Your organization has decided to migrate from their current ERP solution to a new one. Mergers and acquisitions have sometimes resulted in the decision to move to the ERP software used by the acquiring corporation. There may be a variety of reasons for this move but the decision has been made and now it is time to plan for the migration.
ERP implementations are usually large, complex, resource-intensive projects made up of countless tasks and subtasks. Who will perform all of these tasks?
Recently sitting with a CIO that was planning the move from a legacy ERP application to a new Tier 1 ERP application, the CIO indicated that his current lead business analyst would be the operations-to-IT liaison for the new implementation. This employee was expected to perform double duty supporting the legacy application while being the implementation communications pipeline between operations and IT and also responsible for training operations personnel on how to use the new ERP. Pointing out all of the time the individual would need to prepare for the new implementation, the CIO’s eyes looked like the cartoon image of a window shade unexpectedly, rapidly rewinding back on the spool. The epiphany the CIO experienced was the new implementation project was in jeopardy. Resources were needed supporting the legacy application while existing employees were assigned to the implementation team. PSGi was immediately engaged to support the legacy software ensuring application issues did not negatively impact business continuity while allowing the implementation team to stay focused on the new project.
A company's IT resources are strained when implementing new enterprise business systems. The combination of continuing to perform their existing jobs, maintain the legacy system and implementing the new system can be overwhelming. PSGi can support your modified legacy software implementation while your team focuses on the new software. The result is the implementation team experiences fewer disruptions caused by the legacy application so they stay focused resulting in more efficient resource utilization. The implementation project runs more smoothly, on schedule, and within budget. PSGi is currently supporting legacy applications for several organizations while new software is being implemented.
