Implementation Success Starts and Ends with Mupuma Management Solutions. Even with great planning, software implementation is complex and challenging. During the implementation phase, you need an advocate at your side. An experienced consultant that listens carefully, understands your business, and knows exactly how the new system must perform. At Mupuma Management Solutions we do just that. We’ve developed a unique ERP system implementation process as a result of numerous successful projects. The key is our combined sales and implementation team. The same consultant that helped you choose your system will be involved at each step of the implementation. Half of our clients come to us as a result of ERP implementation failure.  Our Implementations cover

We follow a phased approach for the implementation. Different phases of implementation and activities involved therein are given below:

1. Planning & Business Process Analysis (Should be a hyper link to display the information below)

Implementing ERP typically requires changes in existing business processes. Poor understanding of needed process changes prior to starting implementation is a main reason for project failure. Hence it becomes crucial that we thoroughly analyze business processes before implementation. This analysis can identify opportunities for process modernization. It also enables an assessment of the alignment of current processes with those provided by the ERP system.

During this phase we closely interact with the user and with the user participation, we undertake following activities:

• Formation of implementation team and defining scope and process owners
• Project plan with realistic timelines is discussed and finalised
• Understand existing business processes and proposed business process requirement
• Fit & gap analysis and providing solutions thereon
• Finalize reporting formats and customization requirements to meet specific needs
• Discuss and finalize master data design
• Documentation

2. Installation & Deployment of the application (Should be a hyper link to display the information below)

Activities involved in this phase:

• Testing readiness of Hardware, environmental software and network connectivity with remote location
• Installation of the application software and licenses
• Test the installation and prepare installation report

3. Application Configuration & Customisation (Should be a hyper link to display the information below)

ERP systems are built with many changeable parameters that modify system operation.  We configure the system to work as per the requirements of the customer so that the objective of ERP implementation is achieved.

Activities undertaken:

• Configuring the parameters of modules under implementation
• Defining master data structure and its creation
• Building customized reports and forms
• Developing customized program as per the requirement
• Internal piloting (Test run)
