Goals
Basic steps in planning any implementation should begin with choosing your goals for a particular project. Next, make sure that management is in agreement with those targets from start to finish.  Think small – don’t plan to the nth degree from day one. Return on investment usually follows an 80/20 rule: 80 percent of the benefits will be found in the simplest 20 percent of the system and the final 20 percent of the benefits will evolve from the most complex 80 percent of the system. Plan for scalability and make flexibility one of your highest priorities. In general, unless it is by design, steer clear of
becoming a custom software business. “Out of the package” solutions generally can deliver most if not all of the functionality you will need at a fraction of the cost and in less than half the time. Last but not least it is highly recommended to remain flexible throughout the implementation plan.
