What is the next stage after a system is fully tested?

• Development

• Implementation

• Analysis

• Maintenance

Which changeover method involves stopping the old system overnight and immediately starting the new one?

• Parallel Running

• Direct Changeover

• Pilot Implementation

• Phased Implementation

What is an advantage of direct changeover?

• Staff can be trained gradually.

• If the system fails, the old system is available.

• Costs are reduced as only one system is used.

• The changeover is evaluated in phases.

What is a disadvantage of direct changeover?

• Staff require more training.

• It is more expensive.

• It can be disastrous if the new system fails.

• It requires running two systems simultaneously.

Which changeover method involves running both the old and new systems side by side?

• Parallel Running

• Direct Changeover

• Pilot Implementation

• Phased Implementation

What is a disadvantage of parallel running?

• The old system is unavailable.

• It is more expensive than direct changeover.

• Staff cannot adjust gradually.

• It is risky if the new system fails.

What is an advantage of parallel running?

• The benefits are immediate.

• Costs are reduced.

• If the new system fails, the old system is still available.

• It does not require extra staff.

Which changeover method introduces the new system into one part of the company first?

• Phased Implementation

• Parallel Running

• Pilot Implementation

• Direct Changeover

What is an advantage of pilot implementation?

• It is cheaper than parallel running.

• The entire company is trained simultaneously.

• The system is fully replaced immediately.

• It requires no evaluation of performance.

What is a disadvantage of pilot implementation?

• It is less costly than direct changeover.

• It can only be applied to small companies.

• It is more expensive than direct changeover.

• Staff training takes longer.
