Why is proper planning critical for a Finance and Operations implementation?

Proper planning ensures that a Finance and Operations implementation is predictable, repeatable, and high quality. After a customer purchases licenses, the functional consultant’s responsibility begins with managing the application lifecycle and guiding the project toward a successful go-live.

Effective planning:

• Reduces implementation risks

• Aligns business requirements with system capabilities

• Ensures stakeholder alignment

• Prevents costly rework during later phases

A well-planned implementation transforms business needs into documented, approved, and testable solutions.
