The ISSUE:
Managing the Costs of your ERP
Implementation and Support
Whoever said that change is good obviously didn’t
have to deal with managing the many changes that
can occur throughout the lifecycle of complex ERP
systems. To successfully manage system changes,
you face the lengthy process of tracking the object-
level details of each change, routing and obtaining
approvals, and reconciling the various impacted
environments - all while attempting to maintain a
comprehensive set of auditable processes and
controls. While you’re busy ensuring your ERP
projects are on track, you’re forced to bear the
increased costs of system maintenance and higher
levels of compliance reporting.
Without a fully integrated and automated change
management system in place, you face the time-
consuming process of manually generating, routing,
and performing change requests. You face the
challenge of version and change control. Moreover,
because the data is not integrated with incident
tracking and financial management systems, you
must enter information again and again - a process
that is highly prone to human error and increases your
organizations risks and compliance reporting costs.
The SOLUTION:
Integrated, Systematic Change
Management Processes
Since the effectiveness and integrity of your ERP
applications directly impacts the success of your
organization, it is vital that your change management
processes be based on systematic, proven principles.
The comprehensive change and incident
management capabilities within Phire Architect guide
you through the entire change order process from
incident identification to production migration.
You can quickly create, stage, and approve change
requests; associate them with a reported incidents or
defects; group similar requests into a single planned
migration request; and route multiple change orders
through both internal and external project teams for
approval. Because of the tight integration with
PeopleTools, Architect supports the full version
control, migration, and restoration for all internal and
external object types, reports, even data.
