Questions and Answers

What is a primary focus of testing in a digitalization project?

  • Assessing individual components separately
  • Checking if the new system is aesthetically pleasing
  • Ensuring the old system is fully functional
  • Determining how systems function in combination (correct)

What does the deployment phase typically involve?

  • Immediate shutdown of the old system
  • A gradual transition between old and new systems (correct)
  • Direct installation without data migration
  • Complete disregard for user training

What is essential to evaluate during the testing phase?

  • The longevity of the previous software
  • Cost-effectiveness of the old system
  • Integration of all elements and user reaction (correct)
  • User satisfaction with the existing system

Study Notes

Overview of Digitalization Projects

  • Digitalization projects transform business processes into optimized solutions through hardware, software, and skills.
  • The overall goal is to create an effective Enterprise Information System (EIS).

Phases of a Digitalization Project

  • Planning Phase:

    • Focuses on the broad objectives of the new system aligned with the organization’s mission and strategic goals.
    • Identifies organizational needs in order to support business models effectively.

  • Requirements Analysis Phase:

    • Delve into detailed specifications regarding the technical needs of the new system.
    • Key questions include data handling capacity, user interface functionalities, and communication frequency between global workstations.

  • System Design Phase:

    • Produces a "blueprint" for the EIS, detailing how the system will be structured.
    • Covers crucial aspects such as database design, software architecture, network infrastructure, and user interface layout.

  • Implementation (or Development) Phase:

    • Actual construction of the EIS based on the blueprint.
    • Involves acquiring new hardware and software, programming, building databases, and creating user interfaces.
    • Emphasizes extensive testing and debugging of individual system components.

  • Testing Phase:

    • Examines the integrated functionality of the entire system, not just individual components.
    • Assesses reliability and compliance with requirements established earlier.
    • Important to evaluate user reactions and ensure the system meets user needs.

  • Deployment Phase:

    • Involves full installation and operation of the new system.
    • Typically includes a transition period where the old system is phased out gradually, user training is provided, and data migration occurs.

  • Maintenance Phase:

    • Post-deployment phase where the new system is monitored for integration issues and bugs.
    • Allows users to report new feature requests and ensures the system operates effectively over time.

Conclusion

  • Each phase of a digitalization project builds on the previous one, ensuring a comprehensive approach to transforming business processes through technology.
