FusionIS Drives EAM Success at Johannesburg Metrobus with Pemeco's Milestone Deliverables

Johannesburg Metrobus went live on Oracle's EAM software. FusionIS, an award winning Platinum Oracle partner, successfully managed the implementation project using Pemeco’s Milestone Deliverables ERP implementation methodology.
 
May 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Johannesburg Metropolitan Bus Service (Metrobus) went live on Oracle's Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software. Metrobus now relies on the software to manage its fleet of 532 commuter buses, which collectively transport 90,000 passengers per day.

Fusion Information Systems (FusionIS) (http://www.fusionis.co.za) – an award winning Platinum Oracle partner – managed the implementation project using Pemeco’s Milestone Deliverables ERP implementation methodology (http://www.pemeco.com). Metrobus’ IT manager told Oracle that this implementation was the best managed implementation project he had been involved with in over 30 years at Metrobus.

Trevor Allman, the President and CEO of FusionIS, described the project’s success using data migration and cut-over metrics. He said that “the stock cutover from the old system to Oracle was 100% accurate”. He also advised that “no items were lost and the item costs were transferred with 100% accuracy”.

The implementation project was complex. It involved extensive data migration from an un-integrated legacy system. It also placed heavy demands on training and change management requirements. Finally, project governance was a critical success factor, particularly given Metrobus' status as a public sector organization.

Mr. Allman credited Pemeco’s Milestone Deliverables ERP implementation methodology as being a key driver of success across all of these dimensions. Specifically, FusionIS relied on the project management methodology to:

- Prepare a realistic and actionable project plan, including tasks, resource allocation and project governance

- Prepare and execute an extensive data migration plan

- Perform fulsome system testing according to Pemeco’s three-stage testing methodology

- Prepare and execute a detailed organizational change management plan

- Prepare and execute a detailed customizations and special projects plan

- Prepare and execute an effective cut-over plan

Pemeco’s President, Peter Gross, said this about FusionIS’ project: “We’re thrilled that FusionIS’ experts used our methodology to drive a successful Oracle project. We think that our Milestone Deliverables methodology is most valuable to ERP project managers who understand the complexities of people, processes and technology. Our methodology gives them a crystal clear roadmap to navigate through this maze of complexity”.

For an upcoming Oracle implementation project, FusionIS intends to once again rely on Milestone Deliverables. This time, it will integrate it into Oracle’s Accelerate program.
