What is the main goal of master data cleansing before an ERP go-live?
Answer: Ensure accurate and consistent foundational data is loaded into the new system
Clean master data (customers, vendors, materials, chart of accounts) is essential because the ERP's accuracy depends entirely on the quality of foundational records loaded into it.
Which ERP implementation risk does a 'go/no-go checklist' specifically address?
Answer: Premature go-live with unresolved critical issues
A go/no-go checklist forces a structured review of open issues, test completion rates, and readiness criteria before authorizing the final production cutover.
What is 'change freeze' in the context of ERP go-live preparation?
Answer: A period during which no changes are made to the system configuration before cutover
A change freeze locks the ERP configuration in the weeks before go-live so that testing results remain valid and no last-minute changes introduce new defects.
In ERP implementation, what is the purpose of an integration test?
Answer: Test that data flows correctly across multiple connected modules end-to-end
Integration testing validates that transactions passing through multiple modules (e.g., order-to-cash spanning Sales, Warehouse, and Finance) produce correct results throughout the chain.
Why is executive sponsorship considered a critical success factor for ERP implementation?
Answer: Executive authority resolves escalations, secures resources, and drives organizational change
Strong executive sponsors break organizational resistance, prioritize the project over competing demands, and signal to the company that ERP adoption is mandatory.
What is a 'sandbox environment' used for in ERP implementation?
Answer: Safe experimentation, prototyping, and testing without affecting real data
A sandbox is an isolated system copy where consultants and developers can freely test configurations or code changes without any risk to production or live project data.
Which post-go-live support model involves the implementation team staying on-site to resolve issues immediately after cutover?
Answer: Hypercare support
Hypercare is an intensive, hands-on support period immediately after go-live where the full project team remains available to rapidly address issues before stabilization.
