+Transfering Data files

At this stage, the system is ready to

 What is System
Implementation?
+ Implementation just means to
“Install” the system ready for use.
+ Before the new system can be
installed, there are number of
tasks that must be completed

+Once the staff are fully trained in the use of the new system and all
of the company’s file have been transferred, it is time to
changeover from the old system to the new one.
+Changeover simply means to switch from the old system to the
new system and this can be done in four different ways:
+ Direct changeover
+ Parallel running
+ Pilot running
+ Phased implementation
+Each of the changeover methods have advantages &
disadvantages
Direct Changeover
The changover is very fast and that’s where the
name ‘direct’ comes from
