22 Common Implementation Mistakes Wrong choice of tool - One size fits all mindset Inability to establish clear business case Lack of process understanding & detailed design Lack of clear stakeholders and executive support Resource commitments Functional as well as technical Insufficient Training & Testing Inadequate Staffing of implementation team

23 Big Bang or Phased roll-out? EPM implementations should be considered as a journey and should be deployed in a phased manner to maximise the outcome The first phase of the roll-out should be out of the box solution leveraging RDS (Rapid deployment solutions) Generally the business users with traditional IT knowledge transition to the new platform. Once they have familiarised themselves with the tool, the remaining phases should be planned This approach will set up a constructive and collaborative environment for the subsequent solution requirement analysis and design phases
