Summary

You might be intending to integrate a new system in your company. However, should you first run the old system in tandem with the new system or you should roll in the new system bit by bit to the people? or maybe you should have a few people interact with the new version before deploying it to the community? These are some of the questions that might be in a manager's head during a new system's integration. Read some system deployment strategies and how they work that managers could choose in this guide.

Takeaways

  • Effective system deployment projects mostly happen where there is human interaction. They test and give feedback on the system.
  • Some strategies are complex and may hinder the efficient rollout of the system.
  • The strategy you choose for deployment is determined by what you intend to achieve with the system.
