This document discusses the key steps in systems installation and evaluation: 1) Operational testing ensures smooth system operation in the standard environment. 2) Training teaches users and developers how to manage and use the system. 3) Data conversion makes data compatible with the target system. 4) System changeover smoothly transitions from the old to new system. 5) Post implementation evaluation determines if objectives were met and identifies costs, benefits, and unintended consequences.

1. Operational and Test Environment
Operational testing, also known as Operational Acceptance Testing (OAT), is a software testing technique that evaluates the operational readiness of a software application before its release or production. It ensures system and component compliance and smooth system operation in the application's standard operating environment. 2. Training Training is teaching, or developing in oneself or others, any skills and knowledge or fitness that relate to specific useful competencies. Training has specific goals of improving one's capability, capacity, productivity and performance. It is to train the users and developers on how to manage the system and how it functions. 3. Data Conversion Data conversion is the process of converting computer data from one format to another, making it compatible with the target system, application, or storage method. 4. System Changeover System changeover refers to the smooth transition from one way of doing things to another without disrupting business activities. There are three main methods used for system changeover: phased implementation, direct changeover, and parallel running. 5. Post Implementation Evaluation Post-Implementation Review (PIR) is a crucial step in project management that evaluates the outcome and functional value of a project. It is conducted after the completion of a project cycle to determine if the objectives were met successfully. The PIR evaluates whether a rule or standard is accomplishing its intended purpose, identifies costs and benefits, and identifies unintended consequences.
