A legacy system:
- old method, technology, computer system,
- old application program
- it often implies that the system is out of date or in need of replacement.

ERP Architecture
The architecture of an ERP system influences the cost,
maintenance, and the use of the system.
A flexible architecture is best it allows for scalability as
needs change and grow.

ERP Implementation
One of ERP Mistake : Underestimating the importance
of accurate data.
If you want your ERP implementation to succeed, it is
imperative that proper programming and procedural
parameters are put in place, right from the start, to
minimize the likelihood of errors.

Big Bang
Just as the name implies, a big bang ERP implementation
happens in a single, major event.
All modules are installed across the entire organization all at
once, more or less.
Of course the changeover from the legacy system doesnt
happen without proper planning.
There are many pre-implementation activities that need to be
carried out prior to the big bang.
A.k.a Single-Step Implementation:
Is ideal for smaller operations and businesses that may have
few users, single-step ERP implementation offers a simple and
straightforward way to handle the process so you can more
easily focus on your project scope and implementation
parameters. But its not for everyone.

Phased Rollout
In keeping with the theme of cosmological evolution, phased rollout would
be analogous to the Steady State theory: instead of an implementation
happening in a single instance, small changes occur over time.
An organization moves off the legacy system and onto the new ERP
system in a series of predetermined steps. This can be achieved in several
different ways.
34
Phased Rollout
Here are three well-known techniques:
1. Phased rollout by module - This is the most common phased rollout strategy. ERP
modules are implemented one at a time. Typically you begin with core business
functions those necessary for daily operations then add in more modules and
functionality with each phase.
2. Phased rollout by business unit - Under this approach implementation is carried out
in one or more business units or departments at a time. Some organizations may put
together an implementation project team that travels between each department during
implementation phases. As the team gains more experience with each
implementation, subsequent phases become more efficient.
3. Phased rollout by geography - For organizations with multiple locations, a phased
rollout by geography is a frequent approach. The new ERP system is introduced at
one or more company locations at a time.

Phased Rollout
Just like big bang, a phased rollout strategy has advantages and
disadvantages. This table includes several common viewpoints:

Integration ERP systems won't demonstrate its full potentials unless they are properly integrated with other enterprise software
application:
the integration of various functional ERP modules,
the integration of ERP with other e-business software applications, and
the integration of ERP with legacy systems.
Data Conversion The cost of data conversion depends on the format and the media that store the historical data. Data conversion
from legacy systems to RDBMS is a time-consuming process. Data conversion may lead to further data gathering to fill the missing
links in data requirements.
Testing ERP systems are thoroughly tested before they go into production. ERP testing includes unit testing, component testing,
regression testing, performance testing and user acceptance testing.
Training Workflow and UI design in ERP software are more complex than average business software. ERP training is expensive
because workers almost invariably have to learn a new set of processes of doing their daily tasks besides learning how to use the
ERP software. To reduce the cost of ERP training and to ease the transitions from old processes to new, organizations often seek
the help from training companies which are specialized in coaching workers
46 on using ERP software from particular vendors.

Summary
Whereas the risks for implementing an ERP are greater,
the payoff is very high for organizations.
The integration of data helps an organization to better
meet the demands of a fast and dynamic business
world.
The use of ERP systems provides for integrated data
and business processes, thereby creating opportunities
for organizations to expand and change as their
business changes.
61
Summary (Contd)
ERP components consist of hardware, software,
information, process, and people to perform the
fundamental phases of an information system: input,
process, and output.
ERP system architecture is a blueprint of the actual ERP
system. There are two types of architecture: physical
and logical.
The selection of a system must be based on the needs
of the organization and how well a vendor meets those
needs now or in the future.
62
28
Summary (Contd)
To be successful in implementing an ERP system, an
organization and its management must clearly
understand the implementation process.
The key to this is the application of an ERP life cycle and
methodology throughout an implementation.
