What rollout strategies are there - and which one suits you?

Big-bang rollout
Here, all modules and locations switch to a new system on a specified go-live day. Ideal for smaller organizations or simple architectures. The advantage: a uniform start, rapid consistency. The disadvantage: high risk and major challenges with training and data migration.

Phased rollout
The module-by-module or site-by-site transition is staggered. This reduces risks, enables early feedback and creates operationality in partial steps. However, the variety can increase time and complexity.

Parallel operation
Legacy and cloud systems run simultaneously to ensure reliability in the event of problems. This strategy reduces risks, but often costs duplicate resources and prolongs projects.

Pilot rollout
An initial test run in a defined area enables practical learning before the system is rolled out company-wide. Very low-risk, but does not provide complete system integration.

Hybrid strategy
Combination of phases and pilot projects - flexible, adaptable and scalable, but dependent on project discipline.

DI Experts - Your plan for the optimal rollout

1. strategic analysis

At the start of the project, we jointly determine the IT architecture, number of locations, module requirements and the maturity level of your organization. This allows us to define the right rollout strategy at an early stage and avoid traditional risks.

2. governance & stakeholder alignment

A clear steering committee with decision-makers from IT, specialist departments and management ensures binding directional decisions - regardless of strategy, budget or timeline.

3. data readiness & migration test

Good data quality is crucial. We plan data migrations in test runs and prepare your data sources with scrubbing and matching - minimizing errors during the final cutover.

4. customized rollout

Whether big bang, phase, pilot or hybrid - we adapt the strategy to your organization. Implementation is iterative and with integrated feedback. This creates stability and flexibility at the same time.

5. change & training included

We plan training courses for key users, stakeholder workshops and support routines - so that your employees are well prepared and adopt the new system smoothly.

6. stabilization & continuous improvement

After go-live, we ensure operation with monitoring, support and lessons learned sessions. In this way, the cloud ERP not only establishes itself in the short term, but matures into a permanent solution.
