CHAPTER 13
TRANSITION TO THE NEW SYSTEM
This chapter examines the activities needed to install the information system and successfully convert the organization to using it. It also discusses postimplementation activities, such as system support, system maintenance, and project assessment. Installing the system and making it available for use from a technical perspective is relatively straightforward. However, the training and organizational issues surrounding the installation are more complex and challenging because they focus on people, not computers.
OBJECTIVES
- Explain the system installation process.
- Describe the elements of a migration plan.
- Explain different types of conversion strategies and when to use them.
- Describe several techniques for managing change.
- Outline postinstallation processes.
