Software systems & Changeover methods & Data migration

Which of the following is a major difficulty when changing software systems?

• Training users to adapt to the new system

  
  

• Having too much storage space available

• A lack of internet connection

• Changing user passwords too often

Which of these is NOT a common challenge in changing software systems?

• Compatibility with existing data

• Resistance to change from employees

• Increased efficiency and productivity

• High costs of implementation

Which system changeover method involves running both old and new systems simultaneously for a period?

• Direct changeover

• Parallel running

• Phased implementation

• Pilot running

What is the main advantage of the pilot running method for system changeover?

• It allows the entire company to switch to the new system at once

• It gradually introduces the system in one department or location

• It minimizes data loss during the switch

• It avoids the need for user training

In which changeover method is the old system immediately replaced with the new system?

• Phased implementation

• Parallel running

• Direct changeover

• Pilot running

What is a disadvantage of using the phased implementation method?

• It introduces the new system to the entire organization at once

• It can lead to longer periods of downtime

• It is more difficult to manage multiple parts of the system changing at different times

• It provides no opportunity to test the system before full implementation

Which of the following changeover methods allows only a small group of users to test the system before a full rollout?

• Direct changeover

• Pilot running

• Parallel running

• Phased implementation

What is one of the main risks associated with the direct changeover method?

• The old system remains active during the transition

• Data is stored in two systems simultaneously

• There is no fallback option if the new system fails

•  Users have plenty of time to adapt to the new system

Which of the following is a common difficulty faced when migrating data to a new software system?

• Lack of user training

• Complete automation of the process

• Data corruption or loss during transfer

• The new system automatically adjusts to old data formats

What is a key benefit of phased implementation when changing software systems?

• It allows immediate full deployment across all departments

• Problems can be fixed in stages without affecting the entire system

• It requires no training for end-users

•  It minimizes the overall cost of system implementation
