We have already considered the first two stages of implementing an ERP project according to the Waterfall model - preparation<\/a> and solution development<\/a>The system has been tested and started working with data. Today, the time has come for the final stage - pilot operation, after which the system is officially launched into the company's operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important component of this stage is the formation of protocol of acceptance works<\/strong> - a document that records whether the system is ready for full launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
