15 Tips from a Survivor
• Make sure you have 100% cross functional alignment on scope
• Get your Master Data house in order first!
• Customer and Product Hierarchies need to be bulletproof
• Keep a log of exceptions and peculiarities for UAT
• Insist that the system is fully functioning for UAT
• In UAT go through your monthly S&OP cycle end to end
16 Tips from a Survivor
• Test your system feeds thoroughly before launch (ERP/EPOS)
• Get email alerts notifying the overnight feed has succeeded
• Set up Super Users and ensure training is part of the standard induction for new starters
• Having Sales Planner and Procast can cause minor discrepancies
• In the rush to launch don’t underestimate or fudge your data cleanse – you’ll regret it
