Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common challenges in rapid ERP implementations and how do you address them?
Typical challenges include customization in early phases, accelerated change management, data migration quality, and stakeholder expectation alignment. Champion Pace mitigates these with an MVP-first, out-of-the-box approach, a structured change plan with internal champions and role-based training, a data cleansing and migration playbook, and governance that locks scope while sequencing enhancements into post–go-live phases.
How do you control scope while still delivering value quickly?
We define a Day-in-the-Life MVP for go-live covering core procure-to-pay and order-to-cash, then commit enhancements to a Phase 2/3 roadmap. This preserves a 90-day timeline while ensuring continuous value after go-live.
What does the rapid implementation timeline actually look like?
A typical 90-day plan includes: Week 1–2 discovery and planning, Weeks 3–4 configuration and templated setup, Weeks 5–6 data migration cycle 1, Week 7 conference room pilot, Weeks 8–9 data migration cycle 2 and UAT, Week 10 cutover rehearsal, Week 11 go-live, Week 12 hypercare and transition to Phase 2.
How are users trained quickly without disrupting operations?
We deliver role-based training tied to process KPIs, leverage guided walkthroughs and recorded process playbacks, schedule focused workshops, and establish an internal champion network to reinforce adoption with minimal downtime.
Can we add advanced features later without extending the initial timeline?
Yes. Champion Pace prioritizes core processes for go-live and sequences advanced capabilities (e.g., warehouse optimizations, automation, analytics) into short post–go-live sprints, preserving the 90-day go-live while accelerating time-to-value.
