Build
Configure modules, create lightweight customizations, and stage data migration.
Test
Execute iterative testing — unit, integration, and UAT — until acceptance criteria are met.
Go-live
Execute cutover, monitor stabilization KPIs, and support users in the first 30–90 days.
Support
Transition to SLA-driven support and continuous improvement cycles.
