RE: Implement in stages or not?

I have been involved with several IFM implementations and my advice to you
would be to implement in stages, however keep in mind the whole picture
at every phase.  For example, in implementing the IFM general ledger
make sure that you fully understand your financial reporting needs 
prior to setting up your units, natures and structures.  Many IFM users
use controllerVision for IFM for their financial reporting and in doing so
they should not use alphas at the posting level.

All the best!

Thanks for your responses on the MAPICS browser. It was very helpful. We
were talking about today implementing MAPICS in stages or at once. We are
currently running MRP on our old system and plan to implement IFM, COM,
EPDM, MPSP, MRP, PC&C, PM&C, & PUR. Does it make sense to implement all at
once or in stages. MFG & Engineering first, then COM & IFM last. My thought
was to start with the G/L part of IFM first, then COM (and A/R), then MFG
and Engineering (with A/P). What do you think?
