Go-Live with Navision the book

Go-Live with Navision

Here I will go through the whole go live process, including a general over view of the go-live weekend, and everything it takes to get there. In the appendix The_company I describe a fictitious company that are looking for a new ERP system, and are probably going to buy Navision.

Throughout the book we will be using this company for all that we design and implement. By the way, in this book, Client means the company that purchased Navision and are about to go-live. Customer is the record in Navision of a Customer that we send Invoices to in Navision.Going live with Navision is a huge undertaking. Converting to any ERP system is huge undertaking, and each has its own specialties. There is very little that a company will change that will have more impact on its business than implementing a new ERP package. There are three fundamental differences between an ERP implementation and most other major changes that your business will undergo.

It effects just about everyone, in the company.
It will (generally) not produce any noticeable profits after implementation
A failure in the implementation could be irreversible.

A huge part of this project is going to be project planning and management, and still after its all done, you will wish you had spend more on "the project".
