There are several verified methods for rolling out our Platform, each possessing its own positives and negatives. The execution of platform necessitates cooperation amongst stakeholders, all striving towards a solitary aim of the prosperity of the business.

1) In the Single-Step approach, every user transitions to a new system simultaneously. This necessitates that all system configuration, testing, as well every necessary training session, is completed prior to the switch over or go-live date. The major advantage of this approach lies in the immediate realization of platform benefits, like enhanced productivity, improved insights, and reduced operating costs. On the flip side, once the system is in use, reverting back is virtually impossible, hence ensuring everything is set up properly is crucial. Even insignificant mistakes or glitches could adversely influence employees, business partners, and clients.

2) In the phased approach of introducing new features, and components, a longer period of time, often stretching across weeks or even months, is taken for deployment. This enables a business to focus on and prioritize those features that will bring immediate benefits, often referred to as quick wins and to glean insights from these earlier phases which can be utilized for enhancing subsequent phases. An alternate route could be module deployment based on business units like Human Resources, Finance, or Logistics, proceeding according to the business requirements and hierarchy.

3) In the Parallel approach, it is typically seen as the safest, because if any issues arise, the organization can quickly switch back to the legacy system. Due to this backup system, it is often used for vital operations that should never be disrupted. The transition to the new system can thus be made more gradual for some users. The necessity to input data twice into two separate systems can potentially lead to errors. Still, this approach might suit best for companies using the two-tier architecture, a common setup in companies that have grown both organically or through mergers and acquisitions.

4) In the Hybrid approach, this incorporates aspects of the aforementioned strategies. For instance, a company may apply the Single-Step approach to activate main modules, and progressively implement additional modules in particular locations or departments.


Another aspect to consider is the choice between deploying an on-premise or a cloud-based solution. Generally, on-premise deployment require more time to implement as it necessitates the acquisition of suitable space and hardware for the IT infrastructure, and the setting up of a team for its management. In contrast, for cloud-based solutions, all hardware is hosted by the Nirmalya which allow your company to start installing and transferring data to the new solution in a shorter timeframe.
