5. Breakup her up -> Gap analysis

 Prepare a gap analysis sheet between their existing
business processes and terminologies with
OpenERP processes and terminologies.
 Try to change yourself and your software
terminologies to achieve the best business process .
 Explain them with benefits if you want them to
change to OpenERP business processes and
terminologies.

6. Breakup her up -> Gap analysis
6
 If they are using any other existing software please
do prepare a list of existing business process and
terminologies used by that software since customer
is very used to it.
 Again adept the best as much as you can.
 Explain customer as how does the same processes
work in OpenERP
 Keep comparison handy and you have to be
confident first and then Dedicate as much time you
can to show (explanation does not work guys  ) the
comparison.

7. Love -> Implementation
7
 Don’t let the initial intimacy low down continue the
process and try to adopt the modular approach so
that customer keep getting something new to be wow
after some interval of time .
 I would suggest not to give all love at one go
implement module by module and try to come out
with a new functionality every week so they can have
time to appreciate .

8. Marriage ->Go live
8
 Once all module has been activated
 Start defining users/ groups and access rights.
 Package documentation and training by group of
users.
 Always give users a hardcopy of document so that
they can refer once go live.
 First 3 month would be the toughest since everybody
will have tons of questions for you.
 Try to keep some-one onsite functional expert
resource for first 3 month.
