    The document discusses different methods for implementing a new computer system: direct changeover switches to the new system immediately; parallel running uses the new and old systems simultaneously; phased implementation switches departments/offices gradually; and pilot running trials the new system in a small group first. Direct changeover is quickest but risks data loss if problems occur, while parallel and phased implementations allow for backup of the old system but require more time and effort running both systems. Pilot running fully tests the new system at a smaller scale before broader rollout.

    Implementation

    Direct Changeover

    Parallel Running

    Phased Implementation

    Pilot Running

    Advantages... Takes the minimal time and effort

    Advantages... If anything goes wrong with the new system, the old system will act as a back-up.

    Advantages... Allows users to gradually get used to the new system Staff training can be done in stages Disadvantages... If a part of the new system fails, there is no back-up system, so data can be lost

    The new system is up and running immediately


    Disadvantages... If the new system fails, there is no back-up system, so data can be lost

    The outputs from the old and new systems can be compared to check that the new system is running correctly
    Disadvantages... Entering data into two systems, and running two systems together, takes a lot of extra time and effort

    Advantages.. All features of the new system can be fully trialled If something goes wrong with the new system, only a small part of the organisation is affected The staff who were part of the pilot scheme can help train other staff. Disadvantages... For the office / department doing the pilot, there is no backup system if things go wrong
