Orpington's ERP Go Live Readiness Checklist
O R P I N G T O N T E C H N O L O G I E S
☐
A plan exists to sunset shadow spreadsheets and legacy workarounds, with a named
owner and deadline.
3. TESTING DISCIPLINE
9 points
☐
User acceptance testing has covered edge cases and exception scenarios, not only the
happy path.
☐
Testing was performed by actual business users, not solely by the implementation team.
☐
Test scripts reflect the organization's real processes, not the vendor's generic demo
scenarios.
☐
Defects found in testing are logged, triaged by severity, and tracked to closure with sign-
off, not just "fixed" verbally.
☐
Performance and load testing has been run at production-representative transaction
volumes.
☐
Security and access-control testing confirms role-based permissions match the approved
access model.
☐
Regression testing has been repeated after the final round of configuration changes, not
only after the first build.
☐
Report and analytics outputs have been validated against known-correct legacy figures.
☐
A formal test sign-off document exists, naming who tested what and confirming
acceptance.
4. DATA MIGRATION INTEGRITY
8 points
☐
Migrated master data (customers, vendors, items, chart of accounts) has been reconciled
record-by-record against source systems.
☐
Migrated transactional and balance data (open orders, inventory, AR/AP balances) has
been reconciled, not just row-counted.
☐
Complex structures (bills of materials, multi-level assemblies, pricing hierarchies) have
been validated at the full-structure level.
☐
A named business owner has signed off on data quality for each migrated domain.
☐
A data freeze and delta-load plan is documented for the period between final extract and
go-live.
☐
Historical data retention and archival approach for legacy systems is documented and
approved.
☐
Data cleansing was performed at the source where possible, not patched only during
transformation.
☐
A reconciliation report is scheduled to run immediately after the production data load,
before users are given access.
