Built
(Pillar foundations)
Ensures the strong foundation for future company is built. Typically, strong organisaions are standing on the four-pillar concept. 1. Standardised processes, 2. Functional processes (ERP), 3. Standardised (Strong) Organisational model and 4. Supporting functions (HR, Key functions learning model, etc.). Within the Functional built (ERP) all four pillars are combined into the functional model, working IT system.
Result: Fully implemented ERP system supporting all User requirements. Testing and training needs analysis sumarising the required steps to confirm built successfully reflects all Business, Legal and Tax requirements.
Testing
(Pillars standing strong)
Testing needs analysis, known as well as Test overview list, specify all the tests to be performed in regards of confirmation of 1. Unit testing (Functional parts works as expected), 2. E2E testing (Completeness of the process standardisation), 3. Integration testing (Each organisation level has correct level of control and external partners/systems are connected)
Result: Confirms the Design meets the expectations and supports the company in future vision. Testing results (functional and process) results in SOP - Standard operating procedures (Working instructions) and Job role descriptions.
Training
(4th Pillar = Supporting)
Organisational and Functional changes have significant impact on the day-to-day operations. Training need analysis converted to the training execution supports each organisation on the three main pillars. Trained associates easily absorb all the changes relevant for changes in processes, dependent roles and responsibilities. Change management without properly trained staff cannot succeed.

Result: Successfully deployed ERP system, Organisational changes fully implemented and the company starts ramp-up day-to-day activities and processes.
Wrap up
(Hypercare)
Successful go-live is always time for celebration, but as well this brings a lot of support (hypercare) and follow up actions. Especially while all the day-to-day processes are ramp-up to standard operation, extended support is needed. As a follow up, lessons learned sessions are performed to collect good as well as bad points for project lifecycle. Let’s not forget, the final bill is summarised and final costs are reported.
Result: Lessons learned summary same as the final project evaluation including the budget summary is delivered. Handover to standard organisation support is completed and project is closed.
