Branch Involvement

As we are going to start AST, branch involvement in ERP implementation will be increasing. Data collections, sanitizations and migrating to pre-production server need to be done in order to prepare for AST & CST. Branch managers and Head of Departments are also required to define the roles of their work force post ERP implementation.

Therefore, BM’s and HOD’s will be involved in more discussions and brainstorming sessions from now onwards.

Process owners will be requesting informations such as customer and supplier details at branch level. End users are required to test these data’s during CST. As Leopad adapting digital transformation, more online meetings will be conducted which helps all relevant parties attending the meetings and also reduce travels.
