The 6 Phases of an ERP Implementation Plan
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems are comprehensive software solutions that integrate several areas of a business. Because their reach is so wide and far-reaching, an ERP implementation plan requires an organized and detailed approach to succeed.
These are the phases every ERP implementation project plan follows to ensure successful and timely delivery, and how Xledger has transformed the process with XIM.
What Makes Xledger ERP Implementations Different?
At Xledger, our ERP system implementation plan improves on existing processes through a specialized methodology our experts developed called XIM, which stands for Xledger Implementation Methodology.
XIM is a proprietary implementation methodology specifically designed to tackle one of the biggest issues facing the industry today—ERP implementation failures, which account for as much as 70% of all implementations.
By leveraging XIM, 99% of Xledger’s ERP implementations are successful—a truly remarkable achievement, well above industry benchmarks. The process is designed to deploy ERP systems in record time and with minimal disruption to your business and consists of seven project management processes, six implementation phases, and five workstreams.
What Are The Phases of Xledger’s ERP Implementation?
XIM implementation consists of six well-defined phases:
1. Plan
Consists of carrying out initial assessments, setting clear goals, and defining key project parameters.
2. Analyze & Design
A deep dive into your business processes to identify needs and challenges.
3. Implement
Xledger ERP is configured and tailored to align with your organization’s workflows, accounting structures, and integrations.
4. Test & Verify
Comprehensive testing to ensure the ERP system is fully operational.
5. Go-Live & Follow Up
The system is officially launched, and our team provides active support for early users to make any necessary adjustments and optimizations.
6. Close
It’s the wrap-up of the project. At this stage of Xledger’s accelerated implementation methodology, our ERP analysts will hand over the system to your business.
What are the Workstreams of Xledger’s ERP Implementation?
Unlike generic ERP implementations, Xledger incorporates five comprehensive workstreams throughout the six phases of implementation
