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. 5.
