Implementation Overview and Lessons Learned
18 © 2005 Wind River
Implementation Overview
• 250+ Professional Services users– Shared resources across geographies– Temporary Staff
• 6 month implementation– Complex data conversions– 3 Test Cycles
• Worldwide rollout live in October 2005
19 © 2005 Wind River
Implementation Successes
• Committed & accountable core project team• Stuck to the plan – Milestones met successfully• Trained and developed internal support staff• Adapted standard processes• No customizations• Quick turnaround on key decisions • Leveraged “Best Practices”
20 © 2005 Wind River
Implementation Challenges &Lessons Learned
• Carefully and conservatively estimate the resources and time required for data conversion from multiple, disparate systems
• Identify and document reporting functional requirements early in the implementation cycle. Multiple systems led to increased need for enhanced reports (Discoverer, 6i)
• Identify specific resources to focus solely on training course development and delivery
• Focus on the ‘people’ aspects of the implementation – Organizational Change Management is Key
• Ensure appropriate business representation from business units and regions worldwide throughout the implementation
• Don’t under-estimate the cross functional impacts to other departments (HR, AP, AR, Purchasing)
