In the realization phase, a project team concentrates on implementing an ERP system including modification, development of interfaces, and data conversion. At the same time, each process design is tested on a conference room pilot4. In the final preparation phase, the entire process is fully integrated and tested throughout the organization with full data and various scenarios. End users are trained in this phase as well. Finally, in the “go-live” and support phase, the ERP system is constantly stabilized and may have extensions for competitive advantage.
