Detailed Definition
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems typically includethe following characteristics:
An integrated system that operates in real time (or next to

integration by the Information Technology (IT) department.

1. Definition and Analysis
Hold discussions with various functional personnelto establish the actual number of systems
operating at client site, what they are used for, whyand how often
Produce the Project Scoping Document outlining
current situation, proposed solution and budgetedtime
Challenge : REQUIRES EXPERTISE
8/2/2019 It and Retail
26/49
2. Design
Prepare various functional reports - specifies
current scenario and wish list Prepare Design document which specifies how thesystem is going to work
Prepare test scripts to be followed on system
testing Map out the interface paths to various modules
Challenge : INFORMATION SHARING -Availability of staff
8/2/2019 It and Retail

3.Build
Configure system as per set up documentspecifications i.e. transfer conceptual modelinto reality
Test system to verify accuracy (preliminarytests)
Challenge : TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT -System functionality

4. Transition Train users on their specific areas Assist in test data compilation and system
testing by users Finalise the Live system and captured openingbalances

Legacy system could not handle 80% annual growthrate of Cisco. Constant band-aids to meet businessneeds resulted in the application becoming toomuch spaghetti.Systems outages became routine exacerbated by thedifficulties of recovering from outages.
CIOs View point-Each functional area had to make its own decision regardingchanging the legacy system and fund it.
-Not in favor of ERP solution because it could become a
mega-project
