ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we consider an overview of the Enterprise Systems (ES) implementation project life cycle. First, we consider the context of launching such a project, which includes the objectives of the project, implementation strategies, and the resource requirements for a company. We also provide an overview of the preimplementation, implementation, and postimplementation phases of the project. The chapter ends by identifying some of the aspects involved with the deployment of ES at remaining sites, as well as the issues of supporting an ES production environment.
