Is the ERP Implementation Complete at Go-Live ?
Go live is one of the most important milestones in an implementation but wait … you’re not done yet !
One of the biggest mistakes that can be made is to assume that the project is complete once the cut-over from the legacy system occurs. The critical “tests” of the new system happen after go-live. For example:
- First Month-End Close (Bank Reconciliation, Journal Entries, Financials
- First inventory Count
- First year End
- First Audit
In the months following the implementation you need to evaluate whether the original goals have been fulfilled including improved efficiency of month-end close and financial reporting.
There should be a measurable difference with the time and resources required to perform the tasks required to complete the Month End Process.

5 年That's completely true and in ArcherPoint we value that. After each project we wait for first month end (45 days) before we transition to support.
