How would the SAP implementaon team and Business Process Owners, Super Users ensure that that system works properly before it is released to ADM for use? Most of the User Acceptance Tesng (UAT) are completed. This is where Business Pro- cess Owners and Super Users physically tested the new system with the assistance of the SAP Funconal Team Leads. Due to praccal reasons it is not possible to involve all fu- ture users at this stage to take part, hence the decision on using Business Process Own- ers and Super Users. There were a few end users involved as requested by Business Pro- cess Owners. User Acceptance Tesng is not replacing training on the system. The training of Business Process Owners, Super Users and other users is sll in preparaon. The future users or end users will have formal class room training from mid May 2016. Why is Data Migraon so important and why is it taking so much me? The daily operaons of ADM cannot stop because services to customers are the core reason for existence. No system can work if there is no data loaded to the system. The role of Data Migraon is to ensure that all the data stored on current systems is trans- ferred to the new system so that when the system is switched on, clients should be ser- viced as business as usual. It is a challenging task to pack, move and unpack data from current system to new sys- tem. The people involved with the preparaon of data is working very hard. Therefore it is important that we support and assist the process and our fellow colleagues. “Whether you think you can or think you can’t — you are right.” – Henry Ford Project Preparation Blueprint Realisation Go-Live & Support Final Preparation Operate
