Implementation Phase
• After maintenance and continuing support, the implementation phase of the systems development life cycle is the most resource intensive and time-consuming phase of the entire life cycle.
• It is resource intensive because so many people are involved in the process.
• Implementing a new information system into an organizational context is shaped and reshaped by the people who work in the organization.

Coding
• Coding is the process whereby the physical design specifications are turned into working computer code.
![Page 5: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Coding in Teams
• A team of programmers normally works on program development.
• Using multiple programmers compresses the development schedule by allowing many portions of the system to be developed simultaneously.
• Component architectures are supported well by a team approach to programming
![Page 6: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Issues in Using Teams
• Organization of the team
• Task assignment to specific teams or members
• Member and team communication and coordination

Moving to a New System
• Transitioning to new systems involves managing change from pre-existing norms and habits.
• Change management involves:– Unfreezing -- loosening up peoples’ habits and norms– Moving -- transition from old to new systems– Refreezing -- institutionalize and make efficient the
new way of doing things

Installation or Conversion
• Installation is the stage where the system is moved into production.
• It can be a very difficult stage. • There is much documentation about system
implementation failures. • Installation often means replacing an existing
system be it another computer system or a manual system
• Implementation as an organizational change process is not always successful.
![Page 13: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Factors of Success
Factors contributing to successful implementation of a computer system– management support of the system, – involvement of the users in the development of the
system,– organizational commitment to change, – strong leadership, – system characteristics such as ease of use – users perception of how the system helps them do their
work
![Page 14: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Factors for Success
• On the other hand, research has also shown that even when these factors exist, system implementations sometimes fail.
• So while these factors may help, there are no sure recipes you can follow to guarantee success.
![Page 15: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Approaches to Conversion
The four basic approaches to installation, the one chosen will depend on: – the current organizational environment, – the scope of the project, – the complexity of the change that the
new system represents – and the organization's risk aversion.
![Page 16: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Key Factors in Selecting a Conversion Strategy
• Risk
– Seriousness of consequences of remaining bugs
• Cost
– Parallel requires paying for two systems for a period of time
– Simultaneous requires more staff to support all locations
• Time
– Parallel, phased, and modular require more time

Conversion Styles
• Direct conversion– The new system instantly replaces the old
• Parallel conversion– For a time both old and new systems are
used. The old is abandoned when the new is proven fully capable

Conversion Location
• Pilot conversion– One or more locations are converted to work out
bugs before extending to other locations
• Phased conversion– Locations are converted in sets
• Simultaneous conversion– All locations are converted at the same time

Conversion Modules
• Whole system conversion– All modules converted in one step
• Modular conversion– When modules are loosely associated, they can
be converted one at a time

Direct Conversion
• The old system is 'turned off' and replaced by the new system, all at one time
• Sometimes called the 'cold turkey' approach • It can be very risky because the abruptness of the
change may not be well received. • On the other hand, it is usually the least costly
approach and in some cases, where the old system cannot co-exist with the new system, the only plausible approach available.
![Page 21: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Parallel Conversion
• This is the least risky approach. • The old system is left in place and the new system
turned on. • Both systems are running alongside each other until
end users feel comfortable and confident with the new system.
• The main problem with this approach is the cost of running dual systems and ensuring the stay in sync.
• It is not usually practical with large systems.
![Page 22: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Single Location (Pilot) Conversion
• Often referred to as the 'pilot approach.' • Rather than converting the entire organization, a
single location is selected and the current system in replaced with the new system at that location
• The key advantage is that it limits potential damage and potential cost by providing the opportunity to assess the impact of the new system.
• The primary roadblock is when data must be shared between systems as extra programs would be required to keep the data in sync.
![Page 23: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Phased Conversion• The new system is brought on-line in functional
components; different parts of the old and new systems are used in cooperation until the whole new system is installed.
• The benefit, just like that for single location installation, is reduced exposure to risk.
• The main drawbacks are extra focus on insuring synchronization and a long period of time for complete installation.
• Not workable when the old system and new system are completely incompatible.
![Page 24: CSIS3600 Systems Analysis and Design Systems Implementation: Installation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e4e5503460f94b457e7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Simultaneous Conversion
• All sites are converted at the same time

Key Roles in Change Management
• The sponsor is the business person who initiated the request for the new system
• The change agent is the person(s) who lead the change effort
• The potential adopter(s) are the people who must change.

Understanding Resistance to Change
• What is good for the organization, is not necessarily good for the individuals who work there
• Cost versus benefit of transition as well as of to-be system
• Adapting to new work processes requires effort, for which there may be no additional compensation

Revising Management Policies
• No computer system will be successfully adopted unless management policies support its adoption
• Management tools for supporting adoption– Standard operating procedures (SOPs)– Measurements and rewards– Resource allocation

Motivating Adoption
• The information strategy aims to convince adopters that change is better
• The political strategy uses organizational power to motivate change
• Differentiate between ready adopters, reluctant adopters, and resistant adopters

Training
• Every new system requires new skills
• New skills may involve use of the technology itself
• New skills may be needed to handle the changed business processes

Training and User Documentation
• Training and user documentation are important factors that contribute to the success of system implementation and use.
• It is through training and user documentation that
users gain exposure to the system. System implementation plans must account for how training and user documentation will be developed and delivered to the end user.
