Data conversion and migration can be a significant challenge in any large system implementation and this is particularly true in ERP implementations.

ERP Data Migration Challenges

Specific data migration challenges in an ERP implementation are posed by:

  • The interconnection of financial data and data from other functional modules.
  • Business expectations of improved data quality and the implication that existing data is often poorly maintained.
  • Differing expectations of what data will be migrated between vendor and client stakeholders.
  • A lack of business commitment - particularly the view that data is only a technical concern.
  • The frequent necessity to modify certain data (revised numbering systems; different analysis groupings and so on) as part of the migration process to the new system environment.
  • The lack of available resource for data conversion and migration due to deployment of significant resources to other system implementation activities.

Lumenia’s methodology can be scaled to suit the differing requirements posed by implementations of differing complexity - from single site ERP replacement to multi-site multi-system replacement.

Lumenia played a leading role in helping Aptuit to roll out the People Soft ERP system to its newly acquired sites in Oxford and Glasgow. Lumenia supported Aptuit throughout the roll out by providing project management, data migration and computer systems validation services. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lumenia. Your approach was pragmatic, focused and creative. And, your contribution was vital to the success of the roll out project in Aptuit.

ERP Project Management

ERP Implementation
ERP project management is a highly complex role, involving a combination of detailed day-to-day management of the internal ERP project team, co-ordination with the ERP vendor consulting team and periodic reporting on project progress to the project steering group. The role will also often encompass a significant element of change management and is one of the key appointments in any ERP project.

Lumenia provides specialised project management services utilising deep ERP project experience and a proven methodology to expertly manage implementation projects.

ERP Training

ERP Implementation
The ERP training process starts with the development of a training strategy and progresses to a training needs analysis. This feeds into the creation of a training curriculum and a detailed training plan which in turn provides structure to guide the development of end-user documentation and training delivery material. Delivery of training to end-users is then one of the last tasks in an ERP implementation.

Lumenia’s process delivers a curriculum and high-quality ERP training material that will significantly improve user adoption.

ERP Testing Management

ERP Implementation
ERP testing management includes development of the ERP project test strategy, followed by co-ordination and direction of the project test activity. ERP testing will generally involve a number of cycles, starting with unit testing and progressing through functional, integration, user acceptance and sometimes, performance testing. Most of the test cycles should be based on test scripts or scenarios, which have been developed by the ERP project team.

Lumenia’s proven methodology supplements in-house resources and skills and ensures testing is completed to the requisite level.
