Stabilization Period

Stabilization Process:

  • Begins once the ERP system is live, initial training is completed, and critical data conversion is done.
  • Typically lasts 60 to 90 days after Go-live.
  • IT staff monitors system infrastructure for response times and ensures proper backup procedures.
  • Subject matter experts assist users in operating the system correctly.

Issues During Stabilization:

  • Customizations may complicate processes if they aren’t documented or communicated properly.
  • Users may struggle with ad hoc activities due to unfamiliarity, not system limitations.
  • Errors arise as users adapt to new processes.
  • Parallel implementation with legacy systems can lead to confusion and high labor demands.
  • Reconciliation between ERP and legacy systems is necessary to validate data inputs and outputs.
