The honest answer is “it depends”: on how many modules you need, how many companies or branches are involved, and the state of your data. That is why every Noustiq project starts the same way.<\/p>\n

The five steps<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Discover.<\/b> A two-day workshop. Every field, status and approval agreed and written down before anything is built.<\/li>\n
  2. Design.<\/b> A process map and module list, signed off by you before we configure anything.<\/li>\n
  3. Build.<\/b> A recorded demo every week, so you watch progress instead of reading about it.<\/li>\n
  4. Deploy.<\/b> Go-live midweek, tested end to end with written test cases for every process and every role.<\/li>\n
  5. Scale.<\/b> Thirty days of hypercare, then a quarterly one-page review of what to automate next.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “It’s tested” is not a test plan<\/h2>\n

    Before any go-live, we write test cases for every process and role, your team tests with real scenarios and real data, every finding is logged with an owner and a due date, and we re-test round after round until everything passes. A go-live tracker keeps every blocker visible until it is closed. If your ERP partner cannot show you their test cases, ask why.<\/p>\n

    Prepare these five before day one<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • One decision-maker with time to give.<\/li>\n
    • A process owner for each department.<\/li>\n
    • Clean customer, product and stock data.<\/li>\n
    • A quiet month chosen for go-live.<\/li>\n
    • Clear goals: what must be better in 90 days?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Phases beat big bangs<\/h2>\n

      ERP projects take years when they try to change everything at once. Start with the process that hurts most, go live in phases small enough to finish, and see value in weeks. Your team learns one change at a time, and the project pays back as it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
