Website production There will be problems between development and maintenance, which is a gray area, such as the deployment and installation of software application resources. Considering the deployment and installation of large software packages, such as the enterprise resource planning (ERP) tool, which takes more than 12 months, costs more than 1 million yuan, and involves more than 25 consultants and 30 internal personnel, the issue of resource deployment needs more research and more literature. For most people who use personal computers or Apple computers, software installation and deployment are carried out through the network or from CD or DVD. Although some software installations are too troublesome (such as Symantec or Vista), most can be completed in 11 minutes.
Unfortunately, for large applications, it is not just a matter of installing and starting to work. In order to be compatible with existing applications, large applications (such as ERP) generally need a lot of customization. In addition, new versions usually have many vulnerabilities, so frequent updates and maintenance are also part of the installation process. At the same time, large applications with hundreds of users need to train different types of users. Although suppliers may provide some training, they do not know the specific use of the software after customers purchase it. So usually, enterprises must put a lot of customized courses together. Fortunately, some tools and software packages can help large applications with internal training.
Because of defects and learning problems, it is not feasible to stop using old applications and use new commercial software at the same time. Usually. After the first few months of running the new application, the main task is to check for errors and improve the speed of users. In short, the resource deployment of an important new software package can run for as long as 6 to 12 months, and many types of personnel will be involved, such as consultants, trainers, and internal personnel who need to learn the software. Installing and deploying large-scale software is something we often encounter, but there is a lack of relevant research and reports in the software literature. Any activity can take more than one year, cost more than $1 million, and require more than 50 full-time employees to conduct serious analysis.
The cost and danger of resource deployment seems to be directly related to the size and type of applications. For personal computer software and Apple computer software, asset deployment is usually quite simple. It can be executed by the customer. However, some companies, such as Symantec, do not allow deleting old versions of applications, but the traces left by normal Windows will interfere with the installation of new programs. The installation of large applications, such as mainframe operating systems, ERP software packages and customized software, is very troublesome, and the cost of resource deployment is quite expensive. In addition, such applications usually require extensive customization to adapt to local conditions before being applied. Of course, this complex situation also requires training for users.
