Implementation Plan for Mobile resource Planing Software

This Thesis develops an implementation plan proposal for resource planning software mSiisti in the case company. Msiisti is a component that can increase competitiveness and improve the decision making as well as improving effectiveness and efficiency in operations of the case company. However the lack of better knowledge of implementation could jeopardise the whole implementation process. The objective of this thesis project is to propose a systematic implementation plan to integrate mSiisti into true practical use in order to realize its benefits. The focus is to understand the challenges that surround the introduction of a new system that triggers change of management in an organization and find ways of fast tracking implementation especially in Information Technology related case. This study applies a descriptive single case study method. The current state of mSiisti usage and how was implemented is analyzed and the data collected by interviewing employees from different functions of the case company. The findings from the current state analysis are then combined with the findings from the literature and best practice and the initial implementation plan is built. The initial implementation plan is then validated by the Service Director of the case company , and the final version is created. The output of this Thesis is a proposal of implementation plan of mSiisti for the case company. The implementation plan defines the implementation phases, methods of involving the stakeholders in change process and also defines the role and responsibilities in IT implementation projects. These elements are also allocated the timeline to enable the schedule the implementation process in the case company. The case company can benefit from the output of the study by putting it in practice. Simply by approaching the implementation in a project concept where the whole implementation will be executed in stages with different activities.
