Question 3

What are the four ways in which organizations can implement a system conversion?

Accepted Answer

Organizations can implement a system conversion in one of four ways:In a pilot installation,the organization implements the entire system on a limited portion of the business:In a phased installation,the new system is installed in phases across the organization:With parallel installation,the new system runs in parallel with the old one until the new system is tested and fully operational:The final style of conversion is plunge installation (sometimes called direct installation):With it,the organization shuts off the old system and starts the new system.
