JOURNEY TOWARDS “GO-LIVE”

by Soman

Dear Team,

We are crossing the half year mark today for year 2017. As at today, we have travelled 9 months journey of ERP Implementation process. Data gathering, basic trainings, cross functions and gap analysis activities have been carried out throughout this period. We will be entering another important phase which Application Solution Testing (AST) and User Acceptance Test (UAT). We have many more tasks to be completed before the AST internally. Deciding the requirements and setting up the basic data must be done upfront in order to ensure smooth AST. Process owners are required to conduct more internal discussions and prepare the proposals for Steering Committee’s review. 

Process owners and few key members were only involved during first half of the implementation process. During second half, members from all branches, business units and departments will be involved to test the process flow. More testing sessions will be carried out from July onwards until “Go- Live” stage. Key personnel from all branches, business units and departments need to attend this session to test and verify the process flow. Process owners will conduct trainings for all the key personnel related to their processes.

Apart from this, Group ICT department will also closely liaise with branches pertaining enhancement of ICT infrastructure. They have completed their survey and will discuss the solutions with branch managements.

As mentioned during the ERP launch meeting, the entire Leopad Group will be going through a huge transformation (change management). This transformation will be the main platform to prepare and Leopad Group in adapting digital economy in the near future and also achieving Leopad Vision 2022.

The journey towards digitalized world requires fullest cooperation and commitment from entire members of Leopad Group. Your continuous support will ensure the progress to the greater level. On behalf of Steering Committee, I would like to thank all for your contributions till to date and hoping for the continuous support until we “Go-Live”.
