Go-Live and Support is the final phase in the SAP Business One Implementation project. The end game of any SAP Business One Implementation project – Successful Implementation.

The end goal of the SAP Business One Implementation. This is the stage where you and your implementation partner work in tandem to ensure that the system is ready to be used without any hurdles.

As the name suggests, the newly built system is now running in production. The “go-live” phase refers to the point in time when the SAP Business One system is officially implemented and put into operation.

During this phase, the system becomes accessible to end-users, and the organization starts using it to manage its business processes.

The implementation is monitored and any critical problems are resolved, before handing over the system to the customer team, to the partner support organization, and to SAP support.

Key activities in the Go-Live and Support phase include –

  • Monitoring of new system in production.
  • Resolution of any outstanding issues.
  • Handover to customer, partner support organization, and SAP support.
  • Project review.

Let’s take a brief look at the key the milestones in Go-Live and Support stage:

  • Once the new system has been running with no critical issues for a designated period, the system is ideally handed over the system to the support group, and to SAP support. It is a good idea to provide the support staff with the documented Business Blueprint. At the same time, it is ensured that the customer is managing the day-to-day administrative tasks.
  • The second milestone marks the closure of the project. In this sign-off, the customer acknowledges and accepts the system in production.
  • The final milestone is met when a “Review and Optimization” conference takes place, to review how well the project went. This meeting also provides an opportunity to plan for a further phase or additional enhancements.

Remember that the go-live and support phase is a critical time, and having a well-defined plan, experienced personnel, and proper communication channels in place is essential for a successful implementation.

Continuous collaboration between business stakeholders and the support team is vital to ensure that SAP Business One meets the organization’s evolving needs over time.

The Final Preparation phase is the Penultimate stage of the SAP Business One implementation process, just before the system goes live. It is a critical phase that ensures all aspects of the implementation are thoroughly reviewed, tested, and ready for production use. The goal is to ensure a smooth transition from the implementation environment to the live system.

The Final Preparation phase covers the period before go-live. During this phase, the SAP Business One system and the client organization are transitioned into production mode. This includes training end users to use the new system.

A decision and date for go-live are agreed with the customer. Accounting balances and final transactions from the legacy system are transferred to the production system. The transfer of the balances takes place before go-live in what is called the “cutover” period.

The actual switch to go live happens at the end of this phase.

Key activities in the Final Preparation phase include –

  • Training of End Users.
  • Decision & Date for Go-Live agreed with the Customer.
  • Accounting Balances & Final Transactions transfer to Production System (Cutover).

Below is a brief view of the key the milestones in Final Preparation stage:

  • End users are trained & fully prepared to use the new system. Depending on the contract terms, end-user training is sometimes the responsibility of the customer. Even so, the partner still has a responsibility to assess that users can perform their jobs effectively.
  • System readiness is a key decision that the client and the customer make together. It is to ensure that the system is ready for production operations. Everything must be in place: users trained, IT procedures, backup and recovery tests, functioning external interfaces etc.
  • The third milestone stipulates that all cutover tasks are completed. Many critical activities must be completed in a short period to transfer operations from the legacy system to the new SAP Business One system.
  • The last milestone is the checkpoint for the phase. Sign-off indicates that the customer agrees that all the conditions for go-live have been met. The SAP Business One system can now be put into production, at an agreed time and date.

The Final Preparation phase is pivotal for identifying and resolving any last-minute issues, ensuring that the SAP Business One system is ready for production use.

A successful Final Preparation phase sets the stage for a smooth go-live and a successful implementation of SAP Business One across the organization.
