INTRODUCTION
Westernacher Consulting has completed several IBP implementations by now.
Our accumulated experience and knowledge is used to continuously improve our implementation approach.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS


After ‚lessons learned‘ sessions, we saw that the following factors are critical for the success of the implementation

Involvement of the business department


1 It is essential that the business department get familiar with the system as soon as possible, for them influence the
development of the solution and for them to stay involved

Industry Knowledge + IBP Solution expertise


2 To achieve the best result it is essential that the implementation partner has both industry and IBP implementation
experience

Agile Approach
3 Our experience is that the attempt to define and document all details ahead of time (Waterfall Approach) is taking
too long and is not delivering true value.
An agile approach where you gradually improve the solution is giving you the best result.

To get the business department on the system quicker, capture our industry knowledge and to
accommodate an agile approach we have developed the Westernacher Industry Templates
