A phased approach to Dynamics AX implementation is a distinguishing characteristic of a successful project. This is because phased implementations ensure that each stage of the process, starting with project planning and ending with training and support, delivers a cohesive operational whole.
By combining this approach with our unique methodology, we can help managers avoid the problems associated with big-bang implementations, overcome employee resistance to change, and establish a solid foundation before implementing and running the new system.
Our approach is divided into four main phases:
- the initial phase involves establishing project requirements, methodologies, and formal control processes;
- the second phase revolves around Dynamics AX customizations and infrastructure requirements along with training and mentoring for individual project plans;
- the third phase includes system installation and transferring day-to-day activities to your staff;
- the last phase relates to planning maintenance and making recommendations for further ERP management and development – an on-going process, which must be adjusted according to the changes in your company.
