Read the first 7 Implementation flashcards as text

  1. Which ERP implementation strategy involves running the old and new systems simultaneously for a period of time?

    Answer: Parallel adoption

    Parallel adoption runs both legacy and new ERP systems concurrently to allow validation and fallback before full cutover.

  2. What is the primary purpose of a business process reengineering (BPR) exercise during ERP implementation?

    Answer: Align business processes with ERP best practices

    BPR during ERP implementation redesigns workflows to align with the system's built-in best practices rather than customizing the software to fit broken processes.

  3. Which document formally defines the boundaries of an ERP implementation project, including what is in and out of scope?

    Answer: Scope statement

    The scope statement explicitly lists deliverables, boundaries, and exclusions, preventing scope creep during implementation.

  4. A company discovers mid-implementation that a critical business process cannot be supported without heavy ERP customization. What is the recommended first response?

    Answer: Evaluate whether the business process should be changed to fit the ERP

    Best practice recommends first questioning whether the business process itself can be adapted to the ERP standard before pursuing costly customization.

  5. What is the role of a System Integrator (SI) in an ERP implementation?

    Answer: Manages the end-to-end implementation including configuration and go-live

    A System Integrator leads the full implementation lifecycle—from design and configuration to testing, training, and go-live support.

  6. Which ERP implementation phase focuses on validating that the configured system meets documented business requirements?

    Answer: User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

    UAT is performed by business users to confirm the configured ERP fulfills the agreed-upon functional requirements before production cutover.

  7. What is 'gold client' in the context of an SAP ERP implementation?

    Answer: A fully configured reference client used to copy settings to other clients

    The gold client is a pristine, fully configured SAP client that serves as the master template from which development or production clients are copied.
