Commercial Application Package Implementation Strategy
• Commercial application package – a software application that
can be purchased and customized to meet the business
requirements of a large number of organizations or a
specific industry. A synonym is commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) system.
– Request for proposal (RFP) – a formal document that communicates
business, technical, and support requirements for an application
software package to vendors that may wish to compete for the sale
of that application package and services.
– Request for quotation (RFQ) – a formal document that communicates
business, technical, and support requirements for an application
software package to a single vendor that has been determined as
being able to supply that application package and services.
– Gap analysis – a comparison of business and technical
requirements for a commercial application package against the
capabilities and features of a specific commercial application
package for the purpose of defining the requirements that cannot
be met.

When, in the years after "go live", are net benefits realized?

• One of the most consistent findings reported in the literature is


that there is a dip in organizational performance in the six to
twelve months after "go live".

Ross & Vitale Transformation


(1998)
Continuous
Improvement
Design
Stabilization
Implementation

• A possible explanation for the above pattern is


organizational learning, the time taken for
people in the organization to really understand
their role in the new processes.

E-Business - 27
© Minder Chen, 1996-2005
Why do benefits and problems occur in the years after "go live"?

Factors that might explain why benefits and


problems occur after go live:

1. Poor project management including poor design-


stage decisions during the implementation project
2. Inappropriate software choice and configuration,
resulting in poor fit
3. Lack of knowledge on part of implementation team
and users
4. Poor change management
